Spend the day with Backlash Outdoor Adventures and find out what the fishing in Pasadena is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Scott knows them forwards and back.

You’re likely to go after Striped Bass, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Catfish, White Perch, and more. During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your day begins aboard a 25’ Parker pilothouse with a capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It’s recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Backlash Outdoor Adventures.

3 Hour Trip – Family Fun Fishing on July 4, 20262 adults

3 Hour Trip on July 4, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 youth Fishing with Captain Scott at Backlash Outdoor Adventure was an awesome experience. We were thrilled to catch striped bass for the first time, along with two catfish. Captain Scott was knowledgeable, humor and friendly, who made the trip both fun and memorable. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone who look for a great day on the water.
