Big Bass Dreams Sportfishing | California Fishing Charters
Captain Riley Ngy & Captain Oliver Ngy
Big Bass Dreams Sportfishing was built from a lifelong obsession with fishing and a commitment to chasing the best waters throughout Southern California. Founded by Captain Riley Ngy and Captain Oliver Ngy, the company was created from years spent studying fish behavior, exploring local waters, and refining techniques that consistently produce results. What started as a personal passion has grown into a professional operation known for Long Beach fishing charters, precision-guided trips, and a deep understanding of Southern California saltwater fisheries. Every detail of the experience reflects decades of hands-on time on the water, from reading conditions to adapting to seasonal fish migrations along the California coast.
Captain Riley Ngy and Captain Oliver Ngy bring two unique but complementary fishing backgrounds together under one name. Riley’s fishing journey began in the Sierra Nevada chasing trout before expanding into multi-species angling and offshore adventures throughout California waters. Oliver, a self-taught angler from Southern California, became known for targeting trophy fish and adapting seamlessly between inshore, coastal, and offshore environments. Together, they operate a fleet of four specialized boats built for different fishing styles, supporting everything from harbor fishing to Catalina Island and offshore runs. Their combined experience has shaped Big Bass Dreams Sportfishing into a trusted name for Southern California fishing charters, Long Beach fishing guides, and personalized fishing experiences on local waters.
Catch Trophy Fish Before Spots Fill
Big Bass Dreams Sportfishing offers private guided freshwater and saltwater trips with a strong focus on California waters, especially around Dana Point and the Southern California coast.
