The untouched waters of Big Sur are known as one of the best rockfish and lingcod fisheries in California. This trip can be upwards of 12 hours so make sure you're ready for a long day of fishing!

This trip is designed for anglers who want to experience the pinnacle of sportfishing that the Central Coast has to offer. Lopez Point is a remote big fish haven that sits directly in the middle of Big Sur and provides habitat for world-class rockfish, lingcod, halibut, and a plethora of other gamefish seasonally. The canyon that runs against the coastline attracts pelagic gamefish like white sea bass and tuna as well. In this trip package, we will make the 60 mile run up the coast to fish groundfish in the morning and then shoot offshore to see if we can find some tuna in the afternoon. We can always audible to target tuna species like albacore and bluefin offshore throughout the entire day as well at the customer's request.

We are excited to continue offering our unique 8-9 hour Winter Halibut trip during a time of year when most other fishing seasons are closed. In the past this time of year has been very productive for putting massive California Halibut in the boat when the ocean conditions cooperate. Offered January - April 1st.

Throughout the year we'll see a handful of squid spawns which attract larger California Halibut and White Sea Bass. While we've caught both species year-round, the peak times to target seabass are typically June through November, with an emphasis on July - September. Targeting seabass on the Central Coast is extremely dependent on conditions and time of day—if you're looking to catch a ghost we recommend getting a date on the calendar and waiting until the week-of for us to reach out with a gameplan (and confirm the estimated duration of the trip). Like all of our trips, we strive to give customers the best possible chance at achieving their goal, and if we don't think we have an honest shot at catching white seabass we will audible to another trip package and adjust price accordingly.
