5 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM) on June 15, 2025
I want to share our incredible fishing experience with Kamyn Dawson Charters, which turned out to be the highlight of our Father's Day! From the moment I reached out, their response time was nothing short of fantastic. They provided clear information on what to bring and ensured we were fully prepared for an unforgettable day on the water. The crew was exceptionally courteous and friendly, making us feel right at home. The captain and his deckhand were absolute rockstars, showcasing their exceptional skills and knowledge of ocean fishing. My two boys were thrilled as they reeled in plenty of large fish, and their excitement was truly priceless! Kamyn Dawson Charters has an outstanding reputation for a reason; their expertise in the fishing industry is remarkable. This experience was worth every moment, and I can’t wait to book another trip with them in the future. Thank you, Dawson Charters, for making our Father's Day an unforgettable and beautiful experience! Wishing you continued success! Bobby C.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Father’s Day Fishing Trip with Kamryn Dawson Charters
5 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM) on June 14, 2025
I booked a half-day fishing charter with Kamryn Dawson Charters as a Father’s Day gift for my dad, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had together! Our group of six had an amazing time out on the water, and Captain TJ made the entire trip smooth, fun, and memorable. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and Captain TJ and assistant Brodie were incredibly welcoming and professional from the moment we stepped on board. He took us out to a reef where the fish were biting nonstop—we caught a ton! TJ and Brodie were knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had a great time. Whether it was helping us bait our hooks, teaching us how to fish, giving us tips on technique, or just sharing stories about the area, both made the fishing experience fun. If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful way to spend time with family—especially for something like a special occasion—I can’t recommend Kamryn Dawson Charters enough. This Father’s Day trip was a gift none of us will forget, and we’re already talking about coming back again! I only have a small complaint. The fish that was filleted on the boat was not descaled, so I had to do that at home.

3/4 8 Hour Trip – Catalina Island on August 25, 2024
Captain TJ and Deckhand Daniel were amazing. The boat could not have been better. We went to Catalina on the 3/4 day. They drove from spot to spot till we got to the best spot. They found a school of Yellowtail. We were catching Bass and fighting off Seals for Yellowtail for most of the day. We probably caught about 30 fish in total. Captain TJ let us stay out there an extra hour, It was a great. All in all we had such a great time that we want to make this a regular thing with the Kamryn Dawson and its crew. Thank you Captain!

3/4 Day 8 Hour Trip – Local Waters on January 3, 2025
Thank you to Captain TJ and his 1st mate Dylan. They were great with the entire process. They spent time teaching everyone how properly bait the hook, cast and even details about the variety of fish. While conditions were not great for fishing we still brought in a lot of fish. This is a good experience for first time fishing. I would recommend Captain TJ and his crew.

5 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM) on June 1, 2025
Captain and his partner were really cool. The trip was very chill and relaxing. The only thing is I wish we had more fishing time because 75% of the time was driving to different spots so we didn’t catch as much as we expected. Overall it was a fun trip
