Trophy calico bass and yellowtail on lures at the island, with the option of some of the best rockfish fishing in coastal California.

How the day fishes

San Clemente Island is the trophy calico and yellowtail trip. Danny works the boiler rocks and kelp with swimbaits, surface iron and live bait, the kind of fishing where a 5 lb calico is a normal fish.

Add on the rockfish option and you drop on the deep structure around the island for reds, coppers, lingcod and sheephead, some of the best rockfish fishing in coastal California. Catalina Island is on the table too when the bite and the weather favor it.

What’s included

Fuel (no surcharge), rods, reels and all tackle, live bait and HookUp Baits, water and ice, fish cleaning (fish over 80 lb extra). Bring food and drinks (no glass), a California fishing license for anglers 16 and up, sunscreen and layers.
