Chasing tuna!

Tuna Fishing in Southern California

Tuna fishing in Southern California is one of the most exciting offshore experiences on the West Coast—drawing both first-time anglers and seasoned fishermen chasing their next big catch.

Thanks to our access to the Pacific and hotspots like Catalina Island and offshore banks, anglers regularly target Bluefin and Yellowfin tuna—known for their power, size, and incredible table quality.

Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, when warmer waters push schools closer to the coast and the bite gets wide open.

When it’s on… it’s on. Rods bent, reels screaming, and coolers getting filled.

Offshore Fishing

Offshore fishing is where things get serious.

Targeting Bluefin and Yellowfin tuna in deep water takes the right setup, the right conditions, and a crew that knows how to stay on the bite.

Using proven techniques like sinker rigs, we get baits down to where the fish are feeding—often deep in the column during the day. With heavy tackle, braided line, and stealth leaders, everything is dialed in for one thing: getting bit and landing fish.

We run live bait like sardines and adjust depth, drift, and positioning based on real-time conditions—water temp, current, and fish movement.

With the right condition we run kites and roll throughout our trips.

When it comes together…

it’s chaos in the best way possible—rods bent, reels screaming, and nonstop action.

Night time Jig Fishing

When the sun goes down… the real bite begins.

Nighttime jig fishing for Bluefin tuna is one of the most intense experiences offshore. Under the lights, we drop heavy jigs deep and work them through the water column—triggering aggressive strikes from fish feeding below.

Every drop is different. Depth, speed, and movement all play a role—and when it happens, it happens fast.

Explosive bites. Heavy runs. No warning.

This is the kind of fishing that keeps anglers coming back.

Surface Fishing for Tuna

Explosive topwater bites, birds diving, and schools crashing bait—this is some of the most visual and adrenaline-packed fishing you’ll ever experience.

We target these moments using poppers, stickbaits, and fly-lined live bait—staying ready for when fish erupt within casting range. When the opportunity hits, it happens fast.

Blowups. Instant hookups. Full-speed runs.

It’s pure chaos—in the best way possible.
