Any California guys here that could help arrange a day of fishing off the California coast the day before the ABM starts?
 
Anyone else interested in jumping in on this? I am looking at going out on a boat that accommodates a maximum of six plus crew. Costs would be split evenly by all.
 
The duration will tell you the fishes being targeted. I would look at 22nd street landing in San Pedro. An all day boat to Catalina Island fishing waters would be ideal 6am to 6pm
 
Oh Min, just saw your 6 person proposal. that will be a private charter and be pretty expensive to cover the expenses.
 
My first goal here was to gauge interest. Since there does seem to be some I will pursue this and get more info. Here is what I can tell you, 1). I live in Nebraska and have no idea what fish we will be going after off the CA coast---I just want to get in a boat and go fishing with a small group of guys who have similar interests, 2). My preference is to go out on Sept. 26 for as long as possible, 3). I would like a boat that departs from walking distance of the ABM site since that is where I am staying, 4). I am open to any advice or direction that anyone has to offer.
 
I would be good up to $200.00 each for a group up to six. Obviously the fewer that go the more expensive it becomes. I am waiting for a return call from Daveys Locker so I should be able to get a good idea by early next week. I saw on there website they have a private charter called Bongos III. Depending on what the actual cost is I will probably go if 1 or 2 more people are interested.
 
ICE what better birthday present could your family give than a day of fishing with your internet buddies from across the country?! On second thought we might all be safer with you on land. If your contractors find out about you being on a boat with a bunch of other inspectors they might launch a drone attack with the rest of us being collateral damage. Have a happy birthday!!
 
Cailfornia, some one in the group must ave a boat!!!

Sounds like you should just get whoever wants to go and go one of the regular day boats.

Then just lend him your boat since you won't be using it that day. Brent could captain the boat and make all the arrangements for food drinks and entertainment.

It's only a twenty footer so any passengers beyond the first two have to be women... the Coast Guard has rules ya know.
 
I live in the LA area, and 2 years ago I started fly fishing as a hobby. With our drought, I've been fly fishing the surf just south of LAX at Dockweiler Beach and Redondo Beach. This time of year, it's Perch and Corbina. We use merkins and other sandcrab imitations. If you are a bait fisherman, just go over to the jetty rocks and break open a mussel and put the meat on your hook.

Check the tidal charts - - fishing seems best on an incoming tide, right after low tide.

This will give you a general idea what to expect if you fly fish the surf: https://alquattrocchi.wordpress.com/

I have some friends who have recently chartered boats out of Oxnard to the Channel Islands. They're catching lots of Yellowfin.

I've never been on a Davey's Locker boat, but from what I've heard it can be real chaos if there are several fish on at once.

My suggestion is, if you can't complete a private charter with all the guys on this forum, call one of the local fishign stores (like Fisherman's Spot in Van Nuys) and see if they are putting together a charter for that day.

Did you get a boat???

Or just go to Disneyland?
 
If you are interested in a private boat charter, especially for saltwater flyfishing, you might want to check out http://www.saltyflyfishing.com

Capt. Vaughn Podmore has recently guided friends of mine, and they all were happy and exhausted from catching so many fish. One group stayed in Long Beach harbor. Another went to Catalina.

Be forewarned that private boats in So Cal are not cheap, but the charter supplies everything - - all you need is your fishing license.
 
UPDATE: My bait-fishing friends also highly recommend longbeachsportfishing.com

They are located right at Berth 55 in Long Beach.

They have a series of specials. For example, on Mondays and Tuesdays you can do an all-day charter for $90 per person, and overall load is small.

Tuna are on right now!
