Come hang with us. The next Friedman Adventures Surf Fishing Festival is Saturday, October 24, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the corner of Anderson Street and Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach, California. Everyone is invited. This one is sponsored by Big Fish Bait and Tackle in Seal Beach — your surf fishing headquarters. These mornings are special. A lot of nice people and a lot of families come out just to enjoy the beach and a few hours of surf fishing with the Friedman Adventures crew. Some folks show up for a doughnut and coffee. Some come to meet the Venture Family. Some just want a walk on the sand. Some come for the raffle, which we will hold at 11:45 a.m. All of that is welcome. This is a free event. It has been a crazy El Niño year. You might hook a Sierra mackerel. Somebody might even surprise us with a roosterfish. We might see a sea turtle come ashore. None of that is a promise — but the ocean has been full of visitors, and that is part of the fun. One thing we can promise: we are going to have a really great time. Stop by Big Fish Bait and Tackle in Seal Beach first and pick up what you need for a good morning on the sand. Then come hang with the Friedman Adventures crew. And we are not going to discourage anyone from wearing a Halloween costume. Spooky good times await. Check http://friedmanadventures.com for Captain’s audios, landing and boat counts, bait availability, Friedman Adventures AI, the kids corner, and lots more. Friedman Adventures Surf Fishing Festival Saturday, October 24 9 a.m. to 12 noon Anderson St. & PCH, Sunset Beach, CA Free. Families welcome.

I can’t believe summer is over, but surf fishing still has a long way to go! Join us for the End of Summer Surf Fishing Festival on Saturday, September 12 from 9 AM to 12 noon at Anderson Street and Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach, California. These gatherings are always special. Some people come to fish the surf, others just want a cup of coffee and to enjoy the beautiful beach, and many come to connect with the Friedman Adventures family — great people looking to do great things in our communities. There will be a raffle at 12 noon and plenty of good company ready to have a great time. Parking tip: Park around Anderson Street and PCH. If it’s full, park across the street on the other side of Pacific Coast Highway and just walk over. Walk straight out from Anderson Street onto the beach and you’ll find the Friedman Adventures family. Make sure you stop by Big Fish Bait and Tackle in Seal Beach for all the bait and tackle you’ll need. Looking forward to seeing you there — should be another great day!

Hey everyone, We’re opening Wednesday’s trip to the public.

3600 Harbor Blvd, Oxnard, CA 93035
Get Directions

Come fish with Friedman Adventures on the Estella out of Hooks Landing in Oxnard. Wednesday, July 29 Full day trip Check-in 5:00 AM • Departure 6:00 AM • Return around 5:00 PM Cost: $150 Weather forecast looks good now. We had to cancel tomorrow’s trip because of very poor weather — windy with a big swell. It would have been a waste of everyone’s time and money, so we canceled after talking with Captain Daniel Hadawi and confirming with the New Hustler. The forecast changed this afternoon and forced the cancellation. Good news is we have a solid new date. Same boat, same landing. Limited to 32 anglers + 3 Friedman Adventures staff (cameraman, drone operator, and videographer) so we can live stream the whole trip, create great memories for you, and let your family and friends watch live. Everyone is welcome. To join, just text Phil at 657-227-6459. Or come by the Friedman Adventures booth this weekend at the California Angler Show in San Pedro (July 25–26) and we’ll sign you up right there. Looking forward to getting out on the water with you.
