The types of fish caught depend on the season, such as Halibut or Sea Bass in the Spring and Red Snapper, Grouper or Lingcod in the Winter.

“Fishing is great in this area and really consistent. People can really enjoy a nice experience on any one of our boats, whether it’s a half day or three-quarter day public trips, our rock cod red snapper trip, or one of our many private charters that we run,” said Rick Oefinger, president of Marina Del Rey Sportfishing. “We’re the legitimate sport fishing company of Marina Del Rey.”

The company has been under the management of Captain Oefinger since 1990. Working on boats and running sportfishing is vacay with the smooth sounds of steel drums on the water in July & August. something Rick says he’s done his whole life since the age of 14. Rick distinguishes Marina Del Rey Sportfishing from other similar businesses by being safe, affordable and family-friendly.
