We had an amazing experience with Left Coast Fishing! From start to finish, everything was professional, organized, and so much fun. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great time, whether you were experienced or brand new to fishing. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. They worked hard to get us on the fish, and we ended up having a fantastic day on the water. You can really tell they care about their customers and want everyone to have a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a fun fishing trip with an awesome crew, I highly recommend Left Coast Fishing. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!
Very glad you had a great trip with Captain Matt today! What a blessing to catch a few yellowtail with the family!
We booked this trip so our two grandson’s could experience salt water fishing. They were able to catch with help of Matt. Matt was a great captain and made sure they had a great time. Matt Thank you for helping make memories.
Our captain was knowledgeable and patient as we were new to fishing on the west coast. He had a good spot and we caught many fish

Born and raised in the harbor family owned a boat, I fell in love with the ocean early on. Whether it was fishing, surfing, diving, sailing, tide pooling or boating, I tried everything I could get my hands on. This led me to work at local sportfishing companies and aquariums while in high school. After graduating from Dana Hills High School in 2008, I went to school for Marine Fisheries Biology and completed my degree in 2013. I fished commercially for Dungeness crab out of San Francisco for a season and that gave me great respect for the work that goes into commercial fishing and the power the ocean has. I love sharing the knowledge I've gained throughout my life in and on the water. This knowledge can hopefully help other people come to a better understanding of the ocean and the world around us.
