Sport fishing in Los Angeles can be expensive, or crowded. Most fishing boats that go out from Los Angeles area harbors are around $75 for 3 hours plus equipment rental, but can be crowded and uncomfortable. You will be lucky to have a bench to sit on with 20 to 50 fishermen aboard.
To book a sport-fisher for 4 to 6 people will be around $700 - $1000 for a half day and around $1800 for a full day. They have captains who are certified, but the requirement for a captain's license requires 300 days at sea in the last 3 years. That is not practical for most week-enders.
Friends with fishing boats in Los Angeles:
If a friend has a boat he can take friends out and they can help with expenses, as a gratuity. It is non-contractual, non-binding and voluntary - done on a friendship basis.
Thus our club: Sport-fishing-friends.com Club! Come fishing with us! Absolutely no dues, meetings, commitments or requirements. Join today below! We are not in it for the money, we just need more friends to support our hobby.
