Los Angeles Fishing Report - Tuna Fishing 2023
Bluefin Tuna fishing this March has been lackluster. Despite our best efforts, tuna have been relatively scarce in the area. However, I am here to give you some good news as well. Our experience and knowledge of the local waters lead us to believe that we can expect an excellent Bluefin Tuna season starting in June. Typically, the Bluefin Tuna season in our area starts in the early summer months and lasts until the fall. So, don't let the slow start of the Bluefin Tuna fishing season get you down. Instead, plan ahead and book your deep-sea fishing trip with us in June, and get ready to experience the thrill of the hunt for the elusive Bluefin Tuna. Thank you for your support, and we can't wait to see you on board soon!

Long Beach Fishing Report In November
We welcomed this Bluefin Tuna on board today. Roughly 240lbs. Tuna fishing is still strong. Let's go deep sea fishing in Los Angles!

Captain Shant and I had a fantastic trip to Catalina. By far my favorite chatter I've ever participated in!

Where do I even begin? I'm so glad I took this trip! Captain Shant and his crew were extremely friendly and helpful when it came to reeling in the fish that we had caught. The crew was alert and made certain that everyone had their fishing poles in order to maximize their fishing time and experience. They clearly knew what they were doing, which made us feel at ease. We caught numerous fish, including sculpin, yellowtail, and rockfish. I'm not sure what the other ones' names were, but the captain knew where to go. Overall, I'm very pleased and will definitely return with a group of friends!

Captain Shant is the best in the business! He knows all the best spots for bluefin tuna fishing and made our trip an unforgettable experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time. I would definitely book with them again.

Captain James is the real deal. Not because we caught two 200 pound yellowfin, but because he cares about you having a good time while he works diligently to find you fish. Top notch boat, equipment and Captain. If you get a chance to book an Aquiline charter do it. You will be pleasantly surprised. Captain James wants you to catch fish more than you do. Very professional operation. Five stars!

I discovered Aria Sport Fishing on Instagram and gathered a bunch of my buddies to go on a fishing trip to Catalina Island. Captain Shant was fantastic and really pleasant. The entire procedure was quite nice, and we had a full day of fishing. Some of us were lucky and caught some nice fish, but I can't say the same for the rest. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation, and I'm pleased we were able to participate. We typically fish in the lake, so going out to the ocean was refreshing. Shant comes highly recommended since he is well educated about the differences between lake and ocean fishing. He was really patient with us because this was our first ocean fish expedition. Thank you, Shant, for allowing this to happen for us; we will surely do it again.
