IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING CLUB CHARTERS:

October 21, 2026

As you all may know, we continue to struggle finding insurance for the club. Until this issue is resolved we (VCSC) and Tucker came to the conclusion that it would be best for all if we cancel our last 2 trips!

He has just opened our dates up for overnight limited load open party trips. If you want to sign up before everyone else sees them and jumps on, please sign up directly online at Ventura Harbor Sportfishing at https://ventura.fishingreservations.com/sales/?page=2  

You will see the trip is now limited to 22 folks and is a bit cheaper than our normal charter price for only 15 of us!  Sorry for this inconvenience but know that we will get a solution in place for next years trips!

IF YOU WANT TO GO SIGN UP SOON AT THE LANDING TO ENSURE YOU GET A SPOT BEFORE THE GENERAL FISHING PUBLIC DISCOVERS THESE TRIPS!

Tight lines and following seas…

Stay safe and healthy! 

Carpe Diem!
