Santa Barbara Channel / Channel Islands Offshore
Updated for 2024! We added the new Groundfish Exclusion Areas (GEA's) and 50-fathom groundfish boundaries at SBI and San Nic to our Channel Islands Offshore map. The boundaries, GPS waypoints and a simplified explanation of the new rules are printed right on the map.
Stretching from Pt Conception to Pt Mugu, the Santa Barbara Channel separates the northern Channel Islands from the mainland and is one of the most productive fisheries in the world. Fog, wind, a web of fishing regulations and almost too many fishing options intimidate many a skipper departing from Santa Barbara, Ventura or Channel Islands Harbor. Stay calm and keep it simple with our laminated fishing map, with all the information you need available at just a glance!

Fishing Habitat
White sea bass, yellowtail, calicos, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, lobster...our maps show the fish-holding habitat that an angler fishing the Islands needs to know about: rocky reefs, kelp, shipwrecks and boiler rocks. Find new fishing spots on the water using our calibrated GPS grid and the fishfinder on your boat.
Salmon Fishing Areas Clearly Marked
The Santa Barbara Channel boasts the southernmost reliable ocean salmon bite on the West coast. Ocean kings don't push this far south every year, but when the fish are in, the action can be hot and the fleet of boats is thick. Our Santa Barbara Channel fishing map highlights the most popular trolling drags up and down the Channel so you can stay on the fish.
