Make sure that you make room in your freezers for all the fish before you go and plan a neighborhood fish fry for the evening of your fishing trip so you can spread the wealth with your friends and families!

From what we heard, September is slowing down. We got lucky and caught a couple halibut. If you’re looking for dorado (mahi mahi), do that in July or August.

As with any fishing trip, catching fish is not guaranteed and catching nice fish is a bonus. With this trip we caught lots of good fish but not a “trophy” which is fine. If you are after a trophy book a longer trip but if you want to have a great day on the water and catch lots of fish and maybe a few to keep for dinner this is the trip for you!

Less of a traffic fight from Huntington vs Long Beach. Mostly at the end of the trip. Great area to leave from. Long Beach was also a great location though.

Listen to the crew they have a wealth of knowledge. I recently got into fishing and the crew taught me so much. Made the experience even better and now I’m ready to go after even bigger fish.

Understand what fish you should expect to catch depends a lot on how far out and how long you are willing or able to go.

Dress in layers, started out quite chilly at 0600 and wished I had brought something other than cotton sweaters for myself and the kiddos. Otherwise, the trip was pretty carefree!

If you definitely want to catch fish and don't care about what type of fish, stay in the bay. Offshore deep big fishing is hit or miss. We missed this time, unfortunately.
