Captain
Shannon McGraw

Member since May 2018 Newport Beach, United States
Background
Captain Shannon McGraw is an Orange County native and has been exploring the waters in the area for decades. Fishing is his passion and lifestyle and he can't imagine doing anything else. On trips with Capt. Shannon, you will not only have a great time, but you will be safe as well, and your guide will go the extra mile to get you on your next trophy fish.
Techniques
My favorite fishing is Yellowtail on the anchor, wether it be at Catalina or San Clemente Island. Yellowtail are SoCal funnest year round game fish, they pull hard, are in schools, and are excellent table fair. Offshore fishing can't be beat either, Tuna, Dorado and Yellowtail is the goal. Fishing on the surface for Tuna is incredible as well, you can troll, use bait fish, use kites, but a surface lure is my preferred choice.
