Central Coast Fishing Charters is not your standard fishing charter – to us, fishing is a passion, not a business. Join OUP-V certified captains John Montgomery and Rich Pusateri. We operate out of Morro Bay, California, and have over a half-century of collective fishing experience. Join us and we’ll share our knowledge to catch some of the most sought-after fish in the Pacific Ocean.

You’ll be fishing aboard the F/V Ghostwriter, a 22’ 2017 Defiance Admiral pilothouse fully equipped with everything you need for the best private fishing experience on the central coast of California. The boat’s powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and uses up-to-date and full-featured technology needed for efficient navigation. You can use the onboard portable toilet and bed, and you’ll also have an icebox to store your fish. The boat’s equipped with downriggers, a wireless trolling motor, and a bait tank.

You’ll depart from the Landing in Morro Bay and target everything from Rockfish, Lingcod, and California Halibut to King Salmon, White Seabass, and Bluefin Tuna. Our methods include kite fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, and even spearfishing if groups provide their own gear. You decide whether you’ll keep your catch and kids over 12 are welcome to join.

Our crew will supply the best gear on the market for your trip: Accurate reels, Phenix rods (the only tackle we do not supply is for Rockfish trips), and, when available, live bait. Your trip will also include free fish cleaning and bagging. Bring your snacks, drinks, and valid California fishing licenses.

Central Coast Fishing Charters hopes to see you on the water soon!
