Fishing in Central Coast

Spanning from San Francisco all the way down to the City of Angels, the Californian Central Coast offers a peaceful ocean atmosphere with beautiful beaches and delicious food and wine. The ocean here runs deep and the wildlife is rich, so join one of the numerous Central Coast Fishing Charters to see how prolific these beautiful waters are.

There’s a variety of options to explore in the area, with a number of fish species to target. Salmon, Rockfish, Halibut, and Lingcod definitely top the list. Other possible targets include the stunning Leopard Shark, the magnificent Sturgeon, along with Bass, Californian Sheepshead, Barracuda, as well as Albacore Tuna and Amberjack if you dare head a little further.

Depending on where you want to go and how much time you want to spend on the water, there is a variety of trips on offer. If you’re up for some quality family time, half day trips are a great choice. Full day trips allow more seasoned anglers to maximize their chances of reeling in some prized specimens. If you’ve set your eyes on a specific species, don’t hesitate to book one of the many specialized trips.

You’ll find charters along the coast, with San Francisco Bay as the main point of departure for serious fishermen. Visit San Luis Obispo for a more laid-back approach and a relaxing day out. LA will show you how fun fishing can be, while checking out Ventura will make for a great time surrounded by stunning views.

Rules & Regulations

Everyone over the age of 16 is required to have a California fishing license, which you can buy online. Some fish species are strictly regulated in Californian waters, so make sure to check seasonality ahead of time. Booking a trip with a reputable charter is the best way to make sure you’re always fishing legally.
