"I literally had a BLAST!"
5 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM) on September 21, 20254 adults2 children

I booked this trip for my kids (6 year old and 3 year old boys), since my 6-year-old has become OBSESSED with fishing. From start to finish, the morning couldn't have been more perfect. Captain TJ and Body were both informative, patient, and kind, making sure we all had the best day ever. We all caught fish and learned different fishing techniques. As soon as we docked at the end of our adventure, my 6-year-old asked how many days until we go back on the boat. And when we returned home he said, "Mommy, I literally had a BLAST today!". We cannot wait to do it again!

Great experience over all!
Catalina Full day on July 10, 20255 adults

The Captain, TJ, and deck hand Bodie were awesome. They were knowledgeable, helpful and patient as we had 3 kids with us. We showed up a little early and they were ready to go, so much so that we were able to leave a bit earlier and take advantage of the extra time to catch a few more fish. The boat was clean and spacious with enough seats for many in our party to take a nap on our way to Catalina. I would highly recommend booking a charter with Captain TJ on the Kamryn Dawson and plan to do so again in the future.

One of the best charters we’ve been on
10 Hour Trip – Catalina Weekend on August 2, 20256 adults

Captain TJ knew all the places to go to around Catalina Island. Some were better than others, but caught a mix of sheepshead, bass, barracuda and whitefish. Very accommodating even when one of the people got seasick. Bodie was an excellent first mate, never wavering even when we caught some unexpected animals. Great trip and would definitely be back again.

Fish, fish and more fish!
5 Hour Trip – Weekend (PM) on August 8, 20254 adults

I have been on a lot of charters and this was the best yet. Captain TJ knows where the fish are. We started catching fish from the first cast and didn’t stop. We had dozens of fish in the boat let alone the ones we released. On top of that TJ and his first mate are a pleasure to spend time with. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

Reported catch:
Calico Bass
White Seabass
