first chartered, keeper, white bass of the season!
6 Hour Trip on May 23, 20264 adults

Captain Adam had us on the fish immediately. We started off trolling for yellowtail and Bonita got a couple of nice Bonita, Capt. Adam made sashimi for us right there on the boat! It was absolutely delicious and incredible! Then, we went into a couple of the coves and started hitting some California whitefish and sheepshead. We were pleasantly surprised to have some of our live bait scooped up by 38 inch white Seabass! incredibly productive day, this is my second time out with Capt. Adam and I would recommend it anytime to anyone!

Captain Adam Owen is outstanding!
4 Hour Trip on March 25, 20263 adults

Captain Adam is interesting, entertaining, and a true professional. His boat is beautifully maintained. We caught many fish, learned a lot about the waters and Catalina itself. My two adult grandsons and I had a great day and we’re already talking about a return trip.
