What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Long Beach, California for the first time?

If you visit in March dress appropriately! Although it was a sunny day the winds are cold and high! I made my 3 sons were thermals and they were completely fine with the temperature!

We didn't fish Long Beach - we went to Catalina Island, and it was awesome. We had fish on the entire time!

Plan on at least 4 hrs and patience and persistence! The Captain make the trip- catching fish is a bonus! Enjoy the ride!

It’s an off season trip, keep that in mind, but a day on The water is better than a day in land any day.

Fishing can be hit and miss. Usually good fishing with a good captain, boat and waters. Have enjoyed good fishing for sculpin, red fish, and bass. Great harbor just larger to exit than others.

Go outside the Breakwater. But, then I have very, very limited experience to answer this question: just one time out I only know that in 3 hours we got very few bites, and only 1 caught fish.

I think we were here past peak fishing season, so it was slow! But we still had a blast!

Book with captain Kevin! He knows his stuff! Also, is SO GOOD with children. Thanks again!
