Dive Charters For WSB beginners?

[KelpStalker85]

Was wondering if there are any charters that cater to Larger fish beginners, like maybe loaning a gun and float line and things of that sort as well as kind of having someone to help you out with the hunt. Any charters like that out there and how much would it cost?

Definitely check out Aries Sport Fishing. Captain Leo is a regular here and will probably chime in soon enough and you'll probably hear the same thing from many others on SB... He's got a great operation going that can be custom tailored to your comfort levels, experience and whatever fish/species you want to target. And his prices are good too. In fact, I believe they have a trip coming up tomorrow. not sure if there's room on the boat but i know there's some experienced fella's attending that are great with newbies.

I get what you’re saying by asking for a charter for beginners to shoot larger fish.

But..
Your only (local) option is with Capt Leo and I'm not sure he really lends out guns, he might have some of his own you could use. (Not speaking for him only speculating that as he is a nice guy he probably would loan a gun).

If you’re really wanting to shoot larger fish and try a larger gun you should just give it time, get to know more spearo's and one might eventually invite you on their boat and so on. Then over time you might be able to say "Hey, nice gun mind if I shoot it" (These are with good friends however). I've been on trips where I've wanted to try a gun I've seen online, expo or in a store and they've wanted to use one of mine so we've traded. It just depends on your relationship with the people on the boat.

This also helps when you go to purchase a larger, more expensive gun.

Thats my $.02 on how you can handle more guns and get out on trips with bigger fish.

By the location in your avatar you're in the right area to shoot large fish with no boat needed.

What's happening, guys? Thanks for the props, both of you. As far as rental guns are concerned, I only have one Sea Sniper to rent right now. I will soon be getting some more for the guys that don't have a bigger gun for the bigger game fish that a lot of guys like to target. While I would love to take you to bag a hgue WSB, there no guarantees on getting one. I take people where I think the fish are going to be, I never guarantee fish. I would hate for you to get all worked up for one and then not even see one. Anyway, give me a call when you want and we can discuss some trip options. Thanks.

Hey guys just thought id let you know that there is a wsb clinic ran by a guy named Al
Schneppershoff. Its ran out of the freedive shop in Hermosa Beach. I went out with him once and he was letting people use a Riffe euro 110 with a float line. His number is 310 595 4214. He also run trips to Baja for yellowtail. Hope this helps

Charter a boat and as long as you invite me you can borrow one of my guns, I will even load it for you.
