About
Fish Tacos anyone! This nearshore trip is a good value and appealing for families and people that want to experience ocean fishing but don't want to commit to an entire day offshore. Trips rarely venture more than a few miles from port. Join us for a 4.5-hour half day Cod fishing trip! Spend a relaxing few hours on the beautiful Monterey Bay, fishing for Snapper or one of the many species of Cod that inhabit our local waters (times vary). On this trip, you'll have the opportunity to catch the tasty red Snapper from the pristine deck of the Velocity or other. Reel in Ling Cod in between visits to our galley where you can purchase a snack, or beverage including beer. Many varieties of rockfish can be part of your 10 Rock Cod & 2 Ling Cod limit/fisherman.
*catch up to 10 Rock Cod and 2 Ling Cod!
Our deckhands will happily fillet your catch of Rock Fish & Vermillion, so you don't have to.
This trip will surely yield plenty of fish for the frying pan. Whether you're a beginner or an old pro, our courteous crew will make your trip both fun and memorable.
Note: If the legal limit of target species is reached, the trip duration may be shorter than listed.
