Limited Out!
12 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 20, 20266 adults

Best fishing experience of our lives. We did a 12 hour offshore trip (6 of us) and it was like a highlight reel you would see on YouTube. Tons of action, Brian and Nick put us right on the fish and we started hammering them quickly. We caught Yellowfin, Yellowtail and Mahi on our trip. Even had one stolen by a Mako Shark that breached the surface and did a back flip with our tuna in its jaws! Amazing! Brian and Nick pushed us to our full potential, even when we were getting worn out from big yellowfin they pushed us to fish harder and better and it paid off, everyone did a great job! Fillet process was great too, thanks Nick for sending us home with enough fish fillets for the rest of the year! Haha

Reported catch:
Yellowtail Amberjack
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Yellowfin Tuna

Unforgettable 13th Birthday Trip – Non-Stop Action & Amazing Crew!
5 Hour Inshore Trip on July 25, 20263 adults3 children

We booked this trip to celebrate our son's 13th birthday with a couple of his best buds, and Brian and Nick completely delivered! From start to finish, there wasn't a dull moment. They put us right in the middle of the action, and the kids had an absolute blast pulling in tons of bonito and two massive 20+ pound yellowtails. On the ride back, Nick filleted all of our catch, making for an incredible dinner feast when we got home. Our son said it was his best birthday ever! A huge thanks to Brian and Nick for making this trip so special for the boys. We'll definitely be back!

Awesome trip!!!
5 Hour Inshore Trip - 12:00 PM on May 29, 20264 adults

Captain Gavin and Nick were great. Easy to understand instructions and very friendly, even for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. We had a great time for our first time fishing like this. We caught many rockfish, some barracuda, and a calico bass. If we come back to San Diego, we woud definitely book this trip again (and maybe longer than 5 hours). We saw sea lions and a few dolphins. Awesome trip!! Thanks guys!!

3hr trip was perfect for family of four
3 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM on July 30, 20262 adults2 children

Three hours was just right for us. Gavin did a great job driving and locating the fish. Nick was awesome on deck. He helped all of us catch fish and then processed them to bring back to our rental and cook. The kids ages 7 and 12, had a fun time!

3 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on July 21, 20263 adults1 child

Highly recommend this charter for fishing in San Diego. The captain was professional and pleasant, and we lost count on the number of fish we caught. We even maxed out of the number of fish we could legally catch!! Excellent charter and experience!!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

It all started with my dad as a kid. I always loved being on the water and catching anything I could. Over the last 50 years, I've made fishing my life. I've been fishing the waters of Southern California on anything from tiny boats to luxury Sportfishing yachts. Inshore or offshore there's no place I'd rather be. Running charters for families and big game anglers allows me to share my passion for fishing. The variety of species and anglers keeps it exciting.
