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!

We welcomed this Bluefin Tuna on board today. Roughly 240lbs. Tuna fishing is still strong. Let's go deep sea fishing in Los Angles!
Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 26, 2025
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.
July 26, 2025
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!

Captain Shant and his crew provided outstanding service—highly recommend to anyone looking for a great trip.

We took a day fishing trip to Catalina with Captain Shant as a family—my partner and our two boys, ages 9 and 11—and had a fantastic time. Shant was welcoming, helpful, and great with the kids the entire day. We stopped at the island for lunch, then spent the afternoon fishing before heading back. We were joined by seals, pelicans, and even dolphins along the way. The seals definitely took their share of our catch in the afternoon! Highly recommend booking a trip with Shant for families—we're already planning to come back for Bluefin this summer. Thanks again, Shant!
July 26, 2025
We booked a last-minute trip just hoping to enjoy a day on the water during this slower time of year for fishing in California—and it turned out amazing. Shant is a fantastic captain and a genuinely great guy who made it a priority to get us on fish. We ended the day with a full ice chest and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Shant for anglers of all levels, from first-timers to seasoned fishermen!

I highly recommend this boat if you're looking to catch fish.
