California Guide: Great Saltwater Fishing

If you're looking to go saltwater fishing in California, Ray Rychnovsky's book, California Guide: Great Saltwater Fishing, will help you out with both locations to fish at and what to fish for.




When to Go For Certain Fish

The beginning of the book contains information on the best fishing for each month of the year. Beginning with January and ending with December, there are best options for these four different locations: North: Oregon to Point Arena; San Francisco Region: Bodega Bay to Monterey; Central: San Simeon to Oxnard; and South: Los Angeles to San Diego. Also included for each month are best options for long range fishing. In this section, Rychnovsky gives hints on places to avoid or places that are closed, and best options for long trips.

Where to Go for Fishing

This encompasses the bulk of the book, and includes tips for fishing in those specific areas. For example, if you are in Northern California in San Francisco Bay, there is a section on the best place to catch halibut from your boat, and if you are South of Los Angeles, there is a section on how to catch yellowtail or calico bass, two very popular species in this area for local fishermen.

For those interested in long range fishing and how to prepare for overnight boats Rychnovsky lists what a typical day is like and what the general routine is for long range fishing, along with tips from other experts. Contact information for popular boats are listed with phone numbers, websites, and an email if one is listed.
