California Fishing Charters, San Diego, Newport Beach, Long Beach Fishing Guides
When anglers talk about charter fishing in California they often really mean San Diego sport fishing charters. Southern California, ala San Diego has some of the B-E-S-T charter fishing in the world. No exageration, no embellishment, just down right great Southern Cal sportfishing. Anglers who have had the good fortune to experience charter fishing in California know how spectacular the fishing can be.
From knee buckling battles with blue marlin that put on aerial acrobat shows to fishing in schools of tuna that are so thick on top of the water that the water it actually appears to be boiling. Action packed fishing like this happens every day of the week in San Diego, a.k.a. the California charter boat capitol. |

Southern California Charter Boats, Baja Sport Fishing
Charter fishing in Southern California to the Baja Peninsula. Places named Marina Del Ray, Long Beach, and Newport Beach all have one thing in common in that they have excellent sport fishing that anglers flock to from every corner of the world.
Serious anglers know that these names represent the watery playing fields where they do battle with the best the oceans have to offer. There's B-I-G Blue marlin that can strip a reel void of all line in a matter of seconds, and sounding super tuna that can also strip a reel in seconds while diving straight down to the dark murky depths. There's Striped Marlin, Wahoo, Dorado, and a wide variety of plentiful sportfishing species. So get into the fighting chair, strap yourself in and get ready for some action California style, it's time for a California charter fishing trip.
Enjoy Your Sportfishing Vacation!
