There's a fish with your name on it in Huntington Beach and Yokley Sportfishing will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tim can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Yellowtail, Sculpin, Mahi Mahi, California Corbina, California Sheephead, Bluefin Tuna, Sand Bass, Pacific Barracuda, California Halibut, Calico Bass, Lobster, Rockfish, and more, you'll have tight lines in no time.

Yokley Sportfishing welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be casting lines from a 30' Carolina Classic sportfishing vessel with space for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Tim will provide rods and reels for you. Live bait is included!

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Yokley Sportfishing.

First fishing trip!
Half Day Trip – Local AM on May 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

first and foremost, this was the best fishing trip ever. For context, this was our first fishing trip ever, and I wanted to take my three boys out deep sea fishing, which is exactly what we got. The captain was able to teach us how to fish and also teach us how to put on the bait as well as throw the rods out into the sea. He also had different types of snacks and beverages and had a good sound system so we had music playing at all times throughout the fishing trip, the crew was also great and helped us with the fishing like I said before this was our first session trip so the overall experience was pretty good and I would recommend this fish trip to anyone beginner or advance.

Amazing Fishing Experience
Half Day Trip – Local AM on April 5, 2026 • 3 adults

One of the best fishing experiences i have ever had! My wife, som and I had the absolute pleasure of being on Captain Tim’s boat. He is a true professional who both knows how to locate the fish that are biting, offers multiple rod and bait options, has a fantastic fast boat that rides high and smooth in the water and offers all desired amenities (including rest room, galley, and sound system to name a few) and has a great personality. His service was off the chart positive. Lastly…we caught TONS of fish (over 50 between the 3 of us) and he filleted the keepers for us comprising of 9 bass, 7 perch, 3 mackerel and 1 barracuda. The halibut caught was awesome too but just a little too small to keep. Bottomline we had a fantastic fishing experience and highly recommend!! We definitely will do repeat business!

Amazing Day!!
Half Day Trip – Local AM on January 27, 2026

My 7-year-old son and I went on a day trip with Captain Tim for his very first time on a boat, and we had an amazing experience. Captain Tim was incredibly knowledgeable, had all the life vests ready, and took the time to go over the boat’s safety before we headed out, which I really appreciated as a parent. My son was beyond excited to catch his first fish, and Captain Tim made it such a fun and memorable moment for him. He made the entire trip comfortable and enjoyable for both of us. The next time we’re in California, we will definitely be booking another trip with Captain Tim!

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience—it truly means a lot to hear how much you and your son enjoyed the trip! I’m thrilled that I could make his first boat adventure and that exciting first catch such a special memory. Safety is always top priority, especially with young anglers on board, so I’m glad the prep and life vests gave you peace of mind. It was an absolute pleasure having you both out on the water, and I’d love to welcome you back for another fun day whenever you’re in California. Tight lines until then!

Our trip was a once in a life time experience since we were ale to not only spot a 18-20 foot great white shark but, also spent about a solid half hour of observing it. Captain Wade was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure my family had a great eexperience.

    Wade was amazing. First two casts this morning, BANG, fish on. Continued like that through the day. Wade never skipped a beat either, baiting hooks, moving the boat, he never stopped. Amazing time. Cannot recommend it enough!

    Could not have asked for a better Captain and crew. These guys are fun and knowledgeable and kept us pulling up fish the whole day. Caught my huge target fish and lots of stuff nonstop. They did a great job. Made us feel welcomed and somehow got my shy son to bust out of his shell, feel comfortable and have a great day. Highly recommended. Cant wait for my next trip.
