Fish the local coast of Orange County with its reefs, man-made structures, kelp beds, and points. Trips are anywhere around where the fish are biting. Favorite spot is the Santa Ana River Jetty and Newport Artificial Reef, both are famous for very large White Seabass, Yellowtail, and Halibut. Calico Bass pretty much live at all these spots and are really fun to reel in. The bonus side to this trip is that your fishing time is maximized.

Fish, fish and more fish!
5/5
I have been on a lot of charters and this was the best yet. Captain TJ knows where the fish are. We started catching fish from the first cast and didn’t stop. We had dozens of fish in the boat let alone the ones we released. On top of that TJ and his first mate are a pleasure to spend time with. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

Good Experience
5/5
My 10 year old son and I went out with Ryan and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ryan is very professional, safety conscious, and extremely patient. We caught lots of fish and Ryan was extremely proficient at helping/supporting us with baiting and removal. Overall just a really good experience and morning out on the water with a captain that is focused on providing excellent service and an awesome experience.

5/5
We had an unforgettable experience with Freshbait Fishing Charters! Captains Marco and Dorian were absolutely our kind of people—laid-back, friendly, and clearly know their stuff. The vibe on the boat was on point from start to finish, and we caught an impressive amount of fish that kept the excitement going all day. If you’re looking for a charter with great energy, skilled captains, and a guaranteed good time, Freshbait is the way to go!

Amazing and a blast
5/5
Our family had such a great time celebrating my son‘s 18th birthday. Our captain Larry was phenomenal. He took such good care of us helping us with our poles helping us catch fish. We caught a ton of fish. He took us to the best spots and he even filleted our fish for us that we took home and enjoyed and made fish tacos. This was amazing. I recommended to everyone!
