Welcome to Graphic Slayer Sportfishing! Captain JT has been fishing these waters for years and would like to share his experience with you. It doesn't matter if you're not a skilled angler. Your guide wants you to know a bit more at the end of the trip than you did when it started. It's all about getting out of your comfort zone a little bit and doing something new. Of course, you'll have lots of fun in the process.

The trip starts on a modest 22' Bayrunner that's equipped for all pelagic spec models. This cuddy cabin has been restored in 2020 and she's equipped with new Furuno navigational electronics. She's powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, has a portable toilet, and a live bait tank. There's enough room for 4 anglers to join.

You'll go as far as it takes to catch the fish you want. You can find lots fo tasty fish inshore too, but offshore spots are available if you want more of a challenge. Some of the species you may catch are Rockfish, Halibut, Bonito, Lingcod, Barracuda, Calico Bass, California Sheepshead, and more.

One of the captain's specialties is the Ike jime technique of fish preparation. Ike jime is a humane method of killing fish, as it's done in a matter of seconds and doesn't cause any trauma. This also keeps the meat quality at its best, since the fish didn't produce any cortisol.

Rods and reels, as well as live bait, will be provided on the boat. Don't forget to purchase your fishing license and bring some snacks and drinks for the day.

Enjoy the tastiest fish meat after a day with Graphic Slayer Sportfishing!

    Hands-On Fishing, Great Instruction, and Tons of Fish!

    3/4 Day Trip – Island Fishing on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    We booked the 3/4-day trip with Captain JT and had an awesome experience. He’s incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about fishing, and he took the time to really teach us. We fished several locations and used different techniques at each one, so the day felt much more hands-on than a typical charter where everything is done for you. JT has a focused, straightforward style and expects you to follow his instruction, but that was exactly the experience we were looking for. Our 17-year-old twins absolutely loved it, and we caught a ton of fish. We all came away better fishermen than when we started. Highly recommend Graphic Slayer Sportfishing, especially if you want to learn, be involved, and have a great day on the water.

    7 year old’s first fish! And a great birthday outing experience!

    Full Day Trip – Hunting Pelagics on July 3, 2022 • 3 adults • 1 child

    JT is the man! My son caught his first fish first thing in the morning. Every fishing spot was biting, we filled an ice chest full of trophy sized Red Snapper, Sculpin and more! Also, JT is good company and a wealth of expertise to learn from. You will not regret booking a trip and getting out on the water.

    Channel islands on the Graphic Slayer

    Full Day Trip – Hunting Pelagics on March 30, 2020

    John is a great captain with an amazing boat who works hard to put you on the fish! His boat is set up properly with plenty of room to fish. It is a fast boat, so you spend more time fishing and less time getting to the fishing grounds! John takes pride in every aspect of the operation. He takes care of your catch, so you go home with the best tasting fish possible! On this trip, I caught many species of fish. It was a blast! I got Kelp bass, barracuda, yellowfin croaker, bat ray, rockfish, I recommend the Graphic Slayer to anyone who wants to have fun fishing!
