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.

Twilight Nearshore Fishing Season: April or May through Sept. Spend a relaxing evening on the beautiful Monterey Bay, fishing for Snapper or one of the many species of Cod that inhabit our local waters. This trip will surely yield plenty of fish for the frying pan. Come aboard our very popular afternoon version of the 4.5-hour Nearshore morning fishing trip. (Morning nearshore trips usually start April 1st)

On this trip, you'll have the opportunity to catch tasty red Snapper from the pristine deck of the Velocity. Reel up Ling Cod in between visits to the galley where you can purchase a snack, or beverage including beer. Rockfish can be part of your 10 Rock Cod & 2 Ling Cod limit/fisherman.

Our deckhands will happily fillet your catch of Rock Cod & Vermillion, so you don't have to! ($15-$20+ depending on amount and size) cash or credit ok
