On this full-day fishing adventure, you'll target big-time California sportfish species, including Tuna, Mahi, and more! This fishery, off the coast of Newport Beach, CA, is one of the most productive in California, attracting pelagic predators who come to feast on baitfish, squid and more. On this trip, Captain Matt will take you deep offshore to find the best areas for Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna. If you're an offshore angler who has yet to feel the power of a Pacific Bluefin Tuna, this trip has your name on it! Bluefin are famous worldwide for their speed, power, endurance, and fighting ability, with huge dives and long runs that will test any fisherman. When it comes to finding and hooking these big-time sportfish, Captain Matt is your man. To locate these fish—which can be found anywhere from ten to fifty miles offshore—Captain Matt watches for birds, which follow schools of baitfish; he also looks for "foaming" at the surface, which indicates Tuna feeding; and communicates with other boats to zero in on the fish. When hunting these fish, you'll use techniques including trolling, drifting, and casting right into the school! Depending on the season, weather, and your fishing preferences, Captain Matt will make sure that you're equipped with the right gear and tackle to get the job done. You'll get out there aboard his 25' Parker pilothouse, a fishing vessel that was purpose-built to handle anything the Pacific can throw your way. Originally built in 2001, she's been fitted with a 300HP Suzuki engine and top-notch electronics, including GPS, Sonar, radio, and more. Captain Matt will provide everything for you, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Just bring some sunscreen and your California Fishing Licenses and you'll be good to go! Read More

FISHING IN MARINA DEL REY

What’s a trip to the ocean without a chance to hook a prize catch? In Marina del Rey, you can be at the water’s edge, pole in hand, in just minutes. Or, connect with a licensed sportfishing or charter company to head out into the big blue for some deep-sea action off the Los Angeles coast.

Deep-Sea Fishing

Marina del Rey Sportfishing offers the most affordable option for single-day public fishing excursions in Los Angeles. Choose from open-party (public) half-day and three-quarter-day fishing trips out onto Santa Monica Bay, offered year-round. Private charters are also available. Santa Monica Bay is home to numerous types of gamefish. Depending on the season, you’ll be on the hunt for sheephead, whitefish, rockfish, red snapper, sculpin, and lingcod. For an additional nominal fee, the boat service includes fish cleaning and packaging, or you can catch-and-release.

A valid fishing license is required for anyone over age 15. Buy a one-day license on the boat. Marina del Rey Sportfishing also offers tackle rental onboard for an extra $10 (cash only). The boat departs from Dock 52 ( 13552 Fiji Way ), which has a large parking lot with free parking. 310-822-3625.

Killer Ocean Adventures is another option for chartered half-day, full-day or overnight guided sportfishing and spearfishing trips. Choose from destinations such as the Malibu coast, Catalina Island, Channel Islands, Point Dume Reserve and more. At the end of the excursion, the chefs at world-famous Killer Shrimp Restaurant will prepare the fresh catch for guests to enjoy on-site or take home. 

Many other yachts in the Marina are available for private charter. If you prefer your own private excursion, then review our charters and boat rentals page for a list of properly licensed companies in Marina del Rey. 

Land-Based Fishing

Head to the north and south jetties where licensed fishing is allowed. You can also fish at the nearby Venice Pier, which does not require a license. Fishing licenses and bait are available at the West Marine store (4750 Admiralty Way). The shop doesn’t rent tackle, but there is plenty for sale.

Marina del Rey Sportfishing , open daily 6 a.m.-5 p.m., operates a bait dock at Fisherman’s Village (13759 Fiji Way).

• June 2024 Baja Fishing Report

June is the beginning of the best fishing that Baja offers, and most years, it stretches into early November. June is also my favorite month, with air temperatures reaching the high 80s and water temperatures in the upper 70s, a temperature that attracts various game fish.

Coronado Islands/Rock Pile

  Yellowtail fishing at the Islands has been outstanding. The YTs are running up and down the Ridge in the Middle Grounds, and guys are drifting and anchoring on this Ridge, scoring yellows on sardines as they pass through, as well as on mint-colored surface iron and the Yoyo.

From the Lee of South Island to the Light House is another prime location for yellowtail. Some are tight to the Island in 30 to 45 feet of water, but anglers have also caught them at Pukey Point. We mostly hear that the Middle Grounds and the lee south of the Middle Grounds are where they find the volume.

Keep your distance from other boats when trolling around in this area.

One thing we should point out is that these 15 to 30-pound yellowtails have been hit and miss. They will pop up for a while, bite, and then disappear. If you don’t see them, wait. They will likely pop up again at some point.

Although there has been good bottom fishing around the Islands for rockfish, whitefish, and sheepshead for some time, the Rockpile has been slow due to cold, dirty water.

Ensenada/Punta Banda/Santo Tomas/Isolete

Good yellowtail action has been occurring down at Isolete, and yellows are on the Ridge running toward the rock. Guys are catching the fish on Yoyo iron 125 to 150 feet along this Ridge.

Still, there are some yellowtail in the Punta Banda area, but the big, 8 to 12-pound class bonito outnumber the yellowtail. There is also excellent rockfish action still happening down at Santo Tomas .  

San Quintín

San Quintín produces yellowtail and rockfish!  Mornings produced good-sized lingcod and red rock cod; on the return trip, some yellows were also feeding on the surface, and casting surface lures produced good-sized fish to finish the day!

Summer (June to August) is the peak fishing season in San Felipe. The warm waters attract game fish, such as dorado, yellowfin tuna, and marlin. It’s also the perfect time for offshore fishing, such as flag cabrilla, blunt head triggerfish, grouper, catfish, white snook, corvina, sole, and Pacific sierra.

Gonzaga Bay

Still uncrowded, as the sea temps increase, so do the count numbers of surface and bottom species.

Bahía de Los Ángeles

Yellowtail are the top local quarry at Bahia de Los Angeles. Inside the Bay, anglers can find the yellowtail around the inner Islands and Points, with some of the best nearby action centered around the northern end of the large Isla Smith (also called Coronado), where there are warm-season, 10 to 15-pound, yellowtail. These are usually caught on iron and bait in about 90 feet of water over various gravel bars. This fishing action should continue throughout June, when boats often find yellowtail feeding on the surface, peaking during the hottest summer months.  

Cabo San Lucas   

As expected, the striped marlin continues into the summer months. Of course, the number released varies daily, usually at least three days a week, with many boats producing double-digit releases. The dorado action has been marginal, with yellowfin tuna and roosterfish filling in the gaps. As May fades into June, the expectations are that the dorado bite will resume and the wahoo bite will continue. Anglers expect that the larger yellowfin will show as sea temps stabilize and that inshore, the roosterfish, and jack crevalle will be another option.

Puerto Los Cabos 

Photo San Jose Gordo Banks wahoo

The main target currently is wahoo. There has been a decent wahoo bite throughout recently. Surprisingly, most of the wahoo caught were later in the day, as only a few were picked up early in the morning. According to multiple reports, most of the bites came after 10 am. A few lucky anglers landed three in one day while losing a few more strikes. Most of these wahoo averaged 20 to 35 pounds, though we did have a handful in the 40-pound bracket. Most of the action came from fast-trolling rigged Ballyhoo. Some wahoo were also landed on the XRaps and Nomad DTXs. The biggest wahoo caught this week was a 76-pounder caught at the Outer Gordo while looking for marlin with rigged Ballyhoo.

There has only been a handful of tuna caught recently, though these were quality fish. Most of them were averaging 60 to 80 pounds. It has been hard to efficiently target these yellowfin as the needlefish are a nuisance many days. The few tuna we saw had been taken on live and dead sardina.

We currently have a great striped marlin bite going on, 15 to 20 miles from our Marina. Many boats have been spotting marlin schools throughout both Gordo’s.

We continue to catch good numbers of yellow snapper, amberjack, and grouper closer to shore and the Rock Structure. A few reports indicate that Palmilla Point has been producing the best action. Cardon is also one of the favorite spots.

Along our shoreline, we are seeing some nice roosterfish caught and released on live sardina and mullet. The best action came from La Laguna as one of our boats caught and released NINE throughout the morning while losing a few more. They also landed some small dorado and big jacks.

East Cape   

Fishing has gotten hot here!!

Yellowfin tuna and wahoo are just showing up, and striped marlin and dorado continue biting!!

La Paz  

It is sunny and getting warmer!  Nights are in the 70s, and daytime temperatures are in the high 90s, but it is very comfortable, because the humidity isn’t here yet.  Plus, if you get hot, jump in the ocean!

The water is getting bluer but not as warm as expected, as shown by the yellowtail and other coldwater species we are getting. But you can tell it’s getting warmer by more warm-water species showing up.

Quite a lineup!

There are dorado, yellowtail, amberjack, rainbow runner, marlin, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish, yellow snapper, pargo liso, pargo mulato, cabrilla, white bonito, skipjack, sierra, and triggerfish.

Note: The Las Arenas fleet provides more variety in fishing.  Primarily, nice yellowtail and a few dorado with the La Paz fleet.

Loreto  

It’s pleasant weather, and the excellent yellowtail bite continues. While the dorado are small and scarce, striped marlin and sailfish are farther offshore, according to some of the 54 teams that fished in the Marina Puerto Escondido Tournament.

A few locations up and down the Peninsula have been a tad slow getting up to speed for the usual summer bite. It’s still shaping up to be an exciting season. Please let me know if I missed an area you are interested in.

‘Aggressive shark behavior’ closes ocean access in San Clemente

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Water access at all San Clemente beaches was closed Monday due to “aggressive shark behavior,” according to city officials. The Memorial Day edict came after a shark knocked a surfer off their board Sunday evening.

The ocean will remain closed until 8 p.m. Monday night, pending no additional shark sightings, according to the city. Beaches in the Orange County city are still open, but visitors will not be able to wade into the waves or swim.

A San Clemente lifeguard first received a report of a shark encounter at the popular surfing destination T-Street Beach just before 8 p.m., according to San Clemente Marine Safety Lt. Sean Staudenbaur.

“The surfer and one other surfer were sitting on their boards waiting for a wave when they saw a dark gray object approach and knock one of the surfers off their surfboard,” Staudenbaur said. The surfers then came to the shore and reported the incident, at which point officials made the decision to close water access for 24 hours.

Staudenbaur said it was “unusual” for a shark to get that close to a surfer, noting that “the majority of our shark sightings are just sightings where there’s no signs of aggressive behavior.”

A photo taken by San Clemente lifeguards and shared with The Times showed damage to the surfboard, with two indentations near the tip of the board where the shark was thought to have knocked it.

“We have pretty-good-sized crowds on the beach, obviously not in the water today, but it is typically one of our busier weekends of the year,” Staudenbaur said of San Clemente beaches Monday.
