Experience Offshore Fishing with Wilson Fishing Company

Reel in Adventure: Shared Offshore Fishing Trip

Get ready to chase big fish and make memories on the open water with Wilson Fishing Company's shared offshore fishing trip. This adventure is perfect for anglers looking to team up, swap stories, and land some impressive catches without breaking the bank. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your sea legs, our experienced crew will make sure you have a shot at hooking into something special.

What to Expect on the Water

Our shared trip takes you where the big ones lurk, far from the crowded coastline. You'll be aboard a well-equipped vessel with three other eager anglers, all set for a day of serious fishing. The boat's got everything you need – rods, reels, bait, and tackle – so just bring yourself, some snacks, and a good attitude. Our seasoned skipper knows these waters like the back of their hand and will put you on the fish. No meals are provided, so pack a lunch and plenty of water to keep your energy up for battling those offshore monsters.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Out here, we're not messing around with small fry. We'll be using heavy-duty gear and tried-and-true offshore tactics to target the big boys. Expect to do some trolling with spreader bars and daisy chains for pelagics, or maybe we'll drop some live bait down deep if we're after bottom dwellers. The captain might have you jigging or chunking, depending on what's biting. Don't worry if you're new to these methods – our crew is always happy to show you the ropes and help you perfect your technique.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Captain Mike is an incredible boat captain! The ride out on the water was scenic and beautiful. He quickly took us to the perfect spot and set us up with rods, jigs, and the confidence to reel in some big catches. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to share his love of fishing with our group. Despite being seasoned fishermen and women, we didn't know the area well enough to find the best spots, but he made our day amazing! When we returned to shore, he promptly cleaned and bagged our catch, and shared a cold beverage with his wonderful wife and us." - kaviya

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blob Sculpin: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – these deep-sea dwellers are a rare and exciting catch. Blob sculpins typically hang out in depths of 3,000 to 8,700 feet, so landing one is a real trophy. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, with their gelatinous bodies and grumpy expressions, but they're a bucket-list catch for many serious anglers. Best targeted in colder months, these odd-looking creatures can grow up to 30 inches long.

Black Buffalo: These freshwater giants are a prized catch for any angler. Black buffalo can grow over 4 feet long and weigh up to 80 pounds, offering an epic battle on the line. They're bottom feeders, so we'll be using heavy sinkers and natural baits to tempt them. Spring and fall are prime times to target these bruisers, as they move into shallower waters to feed. The thrill of hooking into one of these powerful fish is something you won't soon forget.

California Kingcroaker: Also known as the white seabass, these fish are the royalty of the California coast. They're not actually croakers, but they're related, and they can grow to over 90 pounds. We'll be targeting them with live bait or artificial lures, often in the early morning or late evening when they're most active. Spring and summer are the best seasons to catch these silver beauties. The fight they put up and their delicious meat make them a favorite among local anglers.

Atlantic Herring: These silvery schooling fish might be small, but they're the backbone of the ocean ecosystem and a blast to catch in numbers. We'll be using light tackle and small lures or sabiki rigs to fill the cooler with these tasty morsels. Herring run in massive schools, so when we find them, the action can be non-stop. They're most abundant in the cooler months, and while they might not be trophy fish, they're excellent eating and perfect for smoking or pickling.

Alligator Gar: These prehistoric-looking beasts are the stuff of fishing legends. Alligator gar can grow over 8 feet long and weigh more than 300 pounds, with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. We'll be using heavy tackle and wire leaders to target these river monsters. They're most active in the warmer months, and catching one is like hooking into a submarine. The sheer size and prehistoric appearance of these fish make them a bucket-list catch for many anglers.
