5 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM)
TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!
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
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.

10 Hour Trip – Catalina Weekend
One of the best charters we’ve been on
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.

Catalina Full day
Great experience over all!
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.

Fish, fish and more fish!
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.
