California Charters and Guides

Here is a list of charter boats and fishing guides available in California. These guides and charters will take you for a great day of fishing off the California coastal and inshore waters. They all provide all the fishing gear, tackle and bait you need.

Ron and John on a Long Range Trip
We left May 26th on the Q-105 boat out of San Diego. John Kline and John Grabosky, two of the best captains around, were in command of a six-day long range yellowtail trip to Cedros and Benitos Islands. Thirty-three people were on board plus the crew; all but three were fishing. John and I were part of the fishing group of thirty.

Praying to the Tuna Gods
It seems when a big yellowfin is hooked, most anglers end up on their knees at the stern of the boat trying to hold on and praying for someone to take the rod from them! John and the other mates are always glad to help out!

Big Game 90
Fish long range and short range trips out of Long Beach and San Diego.  The prices are great and there is a two person early bird special to save you some bucks! 

Grande Sportfishing
A nice long range boat targeting albacore, tuna, yellowtail and many more species in the waters of Southern California and Mexico year around.
