Never experienced the exciting California fishery? Turn to Sealutions Sportfishing LLC and let them organize a custom-made trip just for you that may result in catching the fish of your dreams. Captain Shannon McGraw’s love of fishing will inspire your own and by the end of it all, you’ll find it hard to come back to land. One of t

No epic angling adventure can start without a great boat, and that’s exactly what captain’s 25’ Parker Pilothouse is. The vessel is equipped with Simrad electronics to keep you on the fish trail and is the perfect fishing platform for up to 4 people to drop their line at the same time. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and can cut through the waves easily.

She’s also got a spacious cockpit, tuna tower for the best visuals on the water, and is very safe thanks to her high rail right on the bow. The vessel is not only great for fishing but also extremely comfortable thanks to the enclosed cabin and a bed for you to rest in after an action-filled day. All the rods, reels, and tackle are provided.

Capt. Shannon doesn’t only have a well-kept boat – he knows how to get you to the most bountiful fishing grounds around Newport Beach. All you have to do is choose what kind of an expedition would you like to have – anything from a 13-hour extravaganza to 4-hour excursions is on offer. There’s a wonderful mixed bag of catch that’s just waiting for your hook that includes Mahi Mahi, Rockfish, Bluefin Tuna, Halibut, White Seabass, and more. 

The main goal of Sealutions Sportfishing LLC is to create the best trip for you and maybe teach you a fishing trick or two while you’re casting your line. You can come with your angling buddies or your family, and Capt. Shannon will always go the extra mile to organize a memorable trip.

One of the few 4 pack charters permitted vessels operating out of Newport Beach with full legal credentials. So book a trip and create some life long memories

For this trip, you will go the distance to find the fish. This is an adventure best suited for up to 3 anglers, to increase range and fishing time. You will be fishing for the pelagics with surface jigs, bait, and the most proven technique is the kite. Jumbo Bluefin Tuna likes hanging in these spots and fish pushing 300 lbs have been caught. This is a trophy hunter style trip with other fish to round out the bags.

Food (Snacks & Lunch)

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.

Half Day Trip (AM)

Half Day Trip PM

This trip adds a few more options compared to the half-day trip. This puts some spots that are a little further away into striking distance. This trip can venture out to the famous 150-spot where Yellowtail fishing thrives, or run down south to the Barn Kelp where Seabass love to hang. A great trip for anglers who want to be back to land earlier in the afternoon if you have later obligations.

3/4 Day Trip

Catalina journey begins with the 30-mile channel crossing and going to wherever the fish are biting on the island. This spot is famous for Yellowtail Amberjack, White Seabass, Halibut, and many other species. Enjoy the beauty of this island with its pristine waters and abundant sea life. Always fun!

Full Day Trip–Catalina Island

This is the perfect trip for anglers who are on the lookout for an exotic catch. The offshore banks hold Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Swordfish, and Yellowtail Amberjack. This style of fishing is more like hunting, but also super fun and exciting.

Full Day Trip–Offshore Inner Banks

San Clemente is a US Navy base and must be clear before making the 55-mile crossing. This trip is for serious anglers who want to get away from the crowds and go hunt big fish. This island has it all: Yellowtail Amberjack, White Seabass, Halibut, Monster Calicos, and the pelagics make a stop there. Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna often occupy the waters just off this Island. If the weather is good, this trip is definitely worth it.
