Central Coast Fishing Charters is not your standard fishing charter – to us, fishing is a passion, not a business. Join OUP-V certified captains John Montgomery and Rich Pusateri as we share our knowledge to catch the most sought-after fish in the Pacific Ocean. We operate out of Morro Bay, California, and have over a half-century of collective fishing experience.

By booking with Rich, you'll be fishing aboard the F/V Thirty-One, the newest boat in the CCFC fleet and is currently the biggest & fastest 6-pack charter boat in Morro Bay. This vessel was originally commissioned by the U.S. Coast Guard for high speed training exercises and endured the rigorous conditions with ease. Thirty-One made its way through a government auction and two owners before landing in the CCFC fleet. 

Far from a turnkey charter boat, Thirty-One was a labor of love for over three years. The vessel has been meticulously tuned to west coast fishing perfection and offers all the safety features and amenities of any top-tier 6-pack boat. Safety is paramount which is why we carry a self-inflating 8-person life raft, a Simrad AIS/VHF radio, and have both our boats inspected and authorized to operate by the United States Coast Guard.

We'll depart from Morro Bay and target everything from Rockfish, Lingcod, and California Halibut to King Salmon, White Seabass, and Bluefin Tuna. Our methods include trolling, drift fishing, jigging, light tackle casting, and even kite fishing to catch Bluefin Tuna. You decide whether you’ll keep your catch and kids of all ages are welcome to join.

Our crew will supply the best gear on the market for your trip: Accurate/Penn/Shimano reels, Phenix rods, and when available, live bait. Your trip will also include fish cleaning and bagging. Bring your snacks, drinks, and valid California fishing licenses.

CCFC hopes to see you on the water soon!

The only shark & ray fishing trip in Morro Bay, CCFC is proud to offer this trip for anglers looking to reel in some fun. We provide the BBQ and shark fishing gear, you provide your beverage of choice and the good vibes. On this 4 hour excursion we'll drop anchor in the beautiful Morro Bay and toss out some baits for leopard sharks, guitarfish, batrays, skates, and whatever else bites. Meanwhile you'll enjoy cold drinks and the BBQ meal of your choice! Catch & release only.

4 Hour Trip – Sharks & Rays

This option is the same as our standard Rockfish / Lingcod trip except you'll be fishing no further than 12 miles from Morro Bay—great fishing grounds for a variety of cod species like Reds, Coppers, Bolina, Gophers, Treefish, and of course the notorious Lingcod. Sometimes we'll get lucky and even catch a halibut or few. Guaranteed catch, even on slow days, and come home with all the necessities for a fish fry! We'll even provide some of our favorite recipes to try.

6 Hour Trip – Local Cod

Enjoy an 8-hour rockfishing trip targeting all different species of Rockfish with an emphasis on Vermillion (reds) and Lingcod. We prefer fishing shallower depths with light tackle for the best sportfishing experience!

8 Hour Trip – Rockfish

In recent years, the waters of Morro Bay have seen some nice King Salmon runs from May through July. Because these fish are so sought-after and require special gear to target, this is one of Central Coast Fishing Charters' more expensive packages. However, pound-for-pound, there's nothing that swims nearshore on the central coast that can put up such a fight or taste as delicious as large Salmon does.

8 Hour Trip – King Salmon

Our 9 Hour Rockfish / Cod Trip targets rockfish and lingcod for most of the day but also gives you a chance to pull up some California Halibut depending on their peak feeding times. This private charter has been one of our more popular options since opening in 2021, making for a productive and action-packed day on the water.

9 Hour Trip – Halibut/Cod Combo

Run 60 miles up the coast to the untouched waters of Big Sur and Cape San Martin to catch massive Lingcod, Rockfish, and Halibut. The captain will provide you with all the fishing gear and will clean and fillet your catch, so just bring fishing licenses, food, and drinks.
