  Great Trip!

  Catalina Island Trip - 7:30 AM on September 2, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had an absolutely amazing time on the fishing charter! The captain and mate were incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the entire trip, making sure we felt comfortable and confident on the water. They guided us to some fantastic fishing spots where we caught several impressive fish, and they shared plenty of tips and tricks to improve our technique. The boat was well-equipped and spotless, with everything we needed for a successful day of fishing. We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the relaxing atmosphere out on the open water. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to book another trip with them!

  Bucket List Item Checked. Best Day Ever!

  Full Day Bluefin Tuna Trip on July 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

  I just have one of the best days of my life. Mother Nature is fickle, so we went with no unreasonable expectations, but I'll tell you what, if there are big ones out there, these guys will find them, and they will get you on them. We caught so much fish that we literally had to stop because we ran out of ice and room to put fish. If you want fish, big fish charter these guys. Thank you Daron and Parker for the best fishing I have ever done.

  Amazing Experience for Our First-Time Fishing Trip!

  Full Day Tuna Trip on July 5, 2025 • 6 adults

  It was an awesome fishing trip with Freshbait Charters and their crew! They’re super nice guys and definitely know all the good fishing spots. It was our first time out, and two of us got pretty seasick, but the crew still managed to help everyone reach their catch limit easily. The rest of us who weren’t seasick had an amazing time—the fishing process was simple, relaxing, and really fun. The crew took care of everything, like baiting our hooks and unhooking our catches. Absolutely loved this experience! Highly recommend these guys and can’t wait to go back out with them again soon!
