Shannon McGraw

Member since May 2018 Newport Beach, United States

Background: Captain Shannon McGraw is an Orange County native and has been exploring the waters in the area for decades. Fishing is his passion and lifestyle and he can't imagine doing anything else. On trips with Capt. Shannon, you will not only have a great time, but you will be safe as well, and your guide will go the extra mile to get you on your next trophy fish.
Techniques: My favorite fishing is Yellowtail on the anchor, wether it be at Catalina or San Clemente Island. Yellowtail are SoCal funnest year round game fish, they pull hard, are in schools, and are excellent table fair. Offshore fishing can't be beat either, Tuna, Dorado and Yellowtail is the goal. Fishing on the surface for Tuna is incredible as well, you can troll, use bait fish, use kites, but a surface lure is my preferred choice.

Yellowtail Madness!!!!!!

Sep 13, 2020 Newport Beach

The yellowtail fishing at Catalina this summer has been the best I have ever seen. These yellowtail are pushing into the 30 and 40lb class. True trophies. If you would like to fish the beautiful island of Catalina then book a trip and you will have a chance to pull on one of these jumbo yellowtails. These are just some of the tails this year.

We went on a long boat ride to watch dolphins, I guess. All three of us were really disapointed. We spent $1100 and didn’t get a bite. We were out about 10 hours and got to fish about 3 hours. Coming back into the harbor we get pulled over and the law wanted to see his log book and he hadn’t done them. Thank goodness they were in a good mood and let us slide

I would just like to say that this is fishing and it is never guaranteed. We traveled 100 miles to find tuna and yes we fished the dolphins. I cannot make the tuna bite. I tried the entire time on the tower to find the fish, it just doesn’t happen every time. Yes, DFW boarded us, happens almost every trip and yes my logbook was not updated because I could not log on in the morning.

This was not our first chartered fishing experience and to compare the two this trip was average in comparison. No “wow” factor. We did catch some fish but we felt there was a lack of experience. Nice guy!

Very sorry that you didn’t experience a “wow” factor but inshore fishing has been quite the struggle lately with Calico Bass fishing being the only game in town which we caught many. The local kelp beds are shrinking due to very warm sea temperature.I even tried to go look for a Dorado offshore to give a wow factor. If larger game fish was the preferred target then I suggest an island or offshore trip. Yesterday charter we caught large yellowtail and dorado on a full day trip. Joe made a comment as long as he caught something that he would be happy and he caught bass after bass. I hope in the future that I will make clear the objective of the day and make any alterations in the plan to accommodate the wishes of my charter group.
