Half Day Trip (AM)
Fish On! Me too!! Me Three!!!
It’s no exaggeration to say that Capt. Phil Power knows fish, fishing, and catching! Our party of five booked a half-day (morning) fishing trip on the Pacific Angler. The boat was clean, stocked with drinks and snacks. More importantly, Capt. Phil had all the right fishing gear onboard. We caught the limit of Bocaccio rockfish and also caught other fish like Vermilion snapper. Many of the fish were large in size. We didn’t have to travel far from Mission Bay to find those excellent fishing spots. We plan on scheduling our next fishing trip with Capt. Phil. Why go with anyone else!

Great Environment
Captain Phil was great. He made everybody feel comfortable and gave a lot of attention to the three young boys in our group. He made them feel like they were professional fishermen. As soon has Capt. Phil realized the fish stopped biting, he was quick to move to a new spot and change bait. Every spot we stopped at, somebody caught a fish. It was clear that it is captain phil's mission to make sure we were constantly catching fish. We definitely went home with more fish than expected. We nearly caught 30 fish in all and definitely enough to have our huge fish fry party next weekend. We are definitely returning back to Capt. Phil. Thank you!

First time visiting/fishing Cali. My dad and I had an awesome day with Good Time Sportfishing. We chose a quick inshore trip and captain Phil had us on the fish immediately! My arms were sore for a couple days after reeling in so many fish! Definitely booking another trip soon. You should too!!

Captain Phil was amazing. He listened to what we wanted to do and executed perfectly. We had an action packed day and were able to cook some of what we caught.
