We offer guiding services along the beaches of Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Newport beach that are fished walking or wading. On the beaches, we most often catch corbina, croaker, spotfin croaker, surf perch, yellowfin and more. The summer is extra busy at the beaches so it's best to book these trips during the winter months.

Unsurpassed in natural beauty, Catalina is a true oasis off the coast of Southern California. Calm, clear waters make one of the hottest fly fishing destinations on the West Coast, offering barracuda, Bonita, calico bass, halibut, yellowtail, and white sea bass as well as many other species. The boat ride is one hour each way and start times are between 5 – 5:30am PT with return to the dock around 3pm.
