Best California fishing Trips

Big Bass Dreams Sportfishing is a premier Southern California fishing charter service led by Captain Riley Ngy and Captain Oliver Ngy, offering unforgettable guided fishing experiences throughout Long Beach and surrounding coastal waters. With over 34 years of combined on-the-water experience, our team specializes in delivering high-quality, private trips designed for anglers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced trophy hunters.

We are widely recognized for Long Beach fishing charters, providing access to some of the most productive Southern California fishing waters available. Our trips are designed for anglers chasing results, whether targeting trophy Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail, Halibut, or learning proven techniques on the water. Every trip is fully customized based on conditions, season, and client goals.

As experienced Long Beach fishing guides, we focus on hands-on instruction, strategy, and real-time coaching to help anglers improve while maximizing catch opportunities. From productive coastal waters to Catalina Island and offshore Southern California fishing grounds, every trip is tailored for performance. We also offer premium private fishing charters for small groups seeking a high-end, personalized experience.

In addition to inshore and offshore fishing, we operate professional Southern California fishing charters covering harbor, island, and deep-sea opportunities depending on season and conditions. Our guided fishing trips focus on inshore, nearshore, and offshore waters around Long Beach, giving guests access to a wide range of productive fisheries year-round.

Our operation features a four-boat fleet built for both inshore and offshore performance. For offshore and coastal fishing, we run a 26’ Pathfinder 2600 HPS powered by a Yamaha 300 and a 27’ SeaVee designed for speed and range. For lighter tackle and precision fishing, we operate a 21’ Vexus VX21 and an 18’ Ranger Z518, both fully equipped with advanced electronics, premium tackle, and professional-grade gear.

All trips are private with 2–4 guests depending on the vessel. Guests are required to purchase their own California fishing license prior to the trip. Big Bass Dreams Sportfishing delivers a professional, personalized, and results-driven Southern California fishing experience built around quality, safety, and unforgettable days on the water.
