Catalina Island Fishing Reports

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.

I think early morning fishing is the best. I suggest at least half a day. The sea was very calm, hardly any waves and easy to catch the fishes. If you go deeper into the sea, you should be able to catch much larger fishes.

Chose Capt Shannon. Very knowledgeable and catered to the anglers on the boat

Nice trip. Boat is geared more toward fishing than comfort. Overall very good experience.

Book now and stop looking! Yeah his is the trip. Took my two boys on their first trip and we caught 30+ fish!

Call Steven at rockin reel if you really want to catch fish. Steven worked hard for us and put us on fish all day. Great guy that knows what he's doing.

Make sure to ask your captain what fish to expect or to let them know what fish you would like to Target so you are not disappointed or not expecting something else. We had fun because Capt let us know what was biting and we wanted to just catch fish. It's fun.

Weather is amazing and the fishing is great for everyone including children.

Learn the equipment you'll be using before you leave the dock. Don't try and figure out a complicated reel set up without asking questions first.

Beautiful Water - Rocken Locken Tours is the best. Captain Steve is awesome.

Dana Point is a beautiful harbor with all the amenities and not too crowded! If you're going for your first time, make sure to look up Rocken Locken, He has knows the spots!

If you want to catch sea bass , rockfish this is the time to go tuna comes in july and august

Maybe pack a small lunch. The snacks are great, but we were pretty hungry towards the end.

Make sure to read up on the captain and boat, as well as the trip timeframe.

22nd Street Sportfishing has plenty of different charters, great staff, and wide range of fishing.

Absolutely. Call Capt. Anton on the Pacific mistress that's the boat you want to be on.

Sunscreen, even when its grey and cloudy. This isn't like fishing in Seattle, seas were calm and it was warm even though it was cloudy to start out with. Cant wait to do this again!!!

If you want to catch amazing Calico Bass, Newport Beach is the place for you!

Be ready for some local bass, halibut, and rockfish. Great target fish not too far out!

There are many options this time of the year. The bass fishing in the local waters and at the islands are very active this time of the year. There is also a possibility of catching pelagic fish such as yellowfin and bluefin tuna. There is always yellowtail fishing either at the islands or just outside at the Horseshoe Kelp area.
