Layers of clothes. Process matters - keep an open mind. Bluefin is a little risky, but very satisfying.

Find an experienced fisherman to go out with. It’s a beautiful spot to spend the day too!

Water was cold for this time of time of year so there wasn't much action for yellowtail, tuna, or Dorado yet. July was fun, but will probably shoot for an August trip next time to try and get on some more meat for the freezer.

Don’t come with any expectations. Enjoy being out in the water and the opportunity to do some world class fishing.

We went early in the morning and it was a very smooth trip. A little on the cooler side but that was fine. The sun came out at the end of our three hour trip.

It was our first time fishing in Avalon and would definitely recommend it. We limited out on tuna and also caught a nice California Sheephead

Considering that the fish are less active when the water is colder, we had a great time and had no trouble finding fish. Take a jacket to be sure you're not cold.

Summer might be the best time, since season is open for rockfish. And you can also target halibut, sheephead and bigger game fish. But even in winter (February) you can get lots of action fishing for sculpin, bass, and white fish.

It’s an off season trip, keep that in mind, but a day on The water is better than a day in land any day.

Check the weather before you go out and pick a time where the water is warmer, this will ensure you catch the types of fish you're looking for.

Fishing can be hit and miss. Usually good fishing with a good captain, boat and waters. Have enjoyed good fishing for sculpin, red fish, and bass. Great harbor just larger to exit than others.

I think early morning fishing is the best. I suggest at least half a day. The sea was very calm, hardly any waves and easy to catch the fishes. If you go deeper into the sea, you should be able to catch much larger fishes.
