Independence Sportfishing

Another stellar day of fishing for our OC Tuna Club anglers! Ryan managed to land an absolute beast of a yellowtail today—this one is definitely going to be one for the books! How much do you think it weighs? Let us know your best guess

We started strong with some excellent yellowtail fishing, and the momentum has continued as we’ve moved into solid action with wahoo and yellowfin tuna. A huge highlight so far goes to Ned, who landed a trophy 174lb yellowfin. Try again tomorrow

We set sail yesterday for our 8-day OC Tuna trip with Matt Paulson. We had a great breakfast this morning followed by a tackle seminar to get everyone dialed in on the game plan for yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo. The crew is getting everyone ready for the fishing to come, and we couldn't ask for a better group of people on board.

We wrapped up our trip yesterday with some solid action along the coast, putting a few more nice yellowtail and some bass on the deck. We are currently traveling up the line and are scheduled to be back at the dock tomorrow morning at 0500.

A huge thank you to LA James and everyone who joined us for this year's 8-day. It was another memorable one for the books.

We continued to find success on the yellowtail today, putting plenty more on the deck. As the sun set, the focus shifted from the rail to the galley. Chef Chuck and Rolo, supported by crew members Tanner and Adolfo, absolutely crushed it with an incredible sushi spread. Amazing weather and great company.

Great yellowtail fishing for our LA James group

We took advantage of a short window of opportunity to have a successful go-around on nice tuna, yellowtail, and wahoo. Since conditions have not improved in our current location, we have made the decision to head to a new area to search for better opportunities. Wish us luck

We managed to catch all target species during our first day on the water. We spent time trolling to locate the fish and understand their positioning. Once we figured out where everything wanted to be, we enjoyed steady action until dark. We are looking forward to seeing what today brings

We’ve just had a few spots open up for our upcoming Western Metal 3-day trip. If you've been looking for the perfect time to experience the Indy and fish with a great group of anglers, this is your chance!

Don't wait—these spots won't last long. Contact the office or reach out to secure your spot today!

The trip departed yesterday on LA James Stay in School 8-Day with a fantastic group of anglers. LA wasted no time distributing a massive array of prizes, including Daiwa Reels, Avet Reels, Graftech Rods, and various essentials like reel bags, jigs, poppers, sweatshirts, shirts, hats, cutters, and much more. The group is holding a seminar today to cover tuna, yellowtail, and wahoo fishing strategies. While there is still a way to go to our destination, the group is preparing to be ready for any fishing opportunities that come our way.
