Marina Del Rey Fishing Charters

White Seabass and Halibut are good targets during January, as well as Pacific Barracuda and Calico Bass. Make sure to dress for the weather!

Most of the action happens around Santa Catalina Island with Calico Bass, Blue Perch, and White Seabass as the primary targets. You can also fish for Mako, Thresher, and Blue Sharks.

Rockfish season usually opens in March and the bite is red-hot. Most of the hook-ups happen above underwater reefs and wrecks, just outside of the marina. Lingcod, Halibut, Yellowtail Amberjack, and more species are biting.

Nearshore fishing is excellent during April and you can land plenty of Calico Bass, Sharks, Rockfish, California Sheepshead, Halibut, Lingcod, and others. Lobster season closes at the start of April.

The nearshore action is as good as ever and the offshore waters are starting to see Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna closer to land. Seabass, Lingcod, Rockfish, and other top-tier targets are all biting.

Yellowfin Tuna and Yellowtail Amberjack are well within reach in June and you can reliably land these predators. Anglers looking at a torpedo-sized trophy can head offshore in search of Bluefin Tuna.

Make sure to put sunscreen on, you will want to spend the entire day on the water! Excellent nearshore and offshore fishing for Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Barracuda, and others is the norm.

Most of the fishing happens in the deep sea. Amberjack, Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Seabass, Lingcod, and many other species bite like crazy in August. 

The bluewater action slows down but you can still find the occasional Bluefin or Yellowfin Tuna. Yellowtail Amberjack, Lingcod, Seabass, Rockfish, and Calico Bass action is still very good.

Lobster is back on the menu! The action moves closer to shore as most of the offshore species have migrated away. This is the time to go after California Sheepshead, Rockfish, White Seabass, and Calico Bass.

The pelagic season is practically over and most charters will stick to coastal waters. The weather is cold but you can heat yourself up with great Lingcod, Seabass, and Halibut fishing.

Get your Rockfishing on before the season for these species closes at the end of the month. Lingcod, Seabass, California Sheepshead, and Lobster are all viable targets in December.
