    perfect way to spend the day

    4 hour Local trip on March 11, 2026 • 3 adults

    The perfect way to spend the day if you’re interested in fishing in SoCal. Capt. Hunter and his deckhand Quinton were awesome, they were super accomodating and made sure we got fish. We will definitely be using their services again to try fishing for other species when they’re in season. we caught a good variety today, did a bit of reef fishing and tried to go for halibut. overall it was an excellent experience. would highly recommend.

    Great day for fishing!

    3 hour on August 26, 2023 • 2 adults

    We went out on a three hour afternoon fishing trip. Captain Hunter and his pops brought us to one spot and kept us on the Bass all afternoon. We almost hit our limit of Calico Bass as you can see. This was mine and my nephews first time fishing in the ocean and I honestly could not have imagined the turn out to be nearly as amazing as it was. The captain was so nice and helpful and they were so knowledgeable and helpful with the kids! The boat was clean and just beautiful. Overall it was 10/10 one of the best and most fun experiences we’ve ever had and we will 100% be going again in the future! I cannot Thank you guys enough for giving us such a perfect day!

    Cant wait to go out again!

    8 Hour Trip catalina island on July 6, 2023 • 4 adults

    Captain Hunter put us on the fish! We caught 6 different species including a monster White Sea Bass. The boat has new motors and solid electronics. The captain is very seasoned having worked on boats his entire career and fished these waters. Being from Boston I was a bit nervous going off shore with my kids but the boat and the captain are solid and put my concerns to rest. I would recommend this charter to anyone looking for a solid day of fishing.

    2 hours with Hunter

    2 Hour Trip on June 25, 2021 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was an amazing experience for all of us. This was a first for my 2 kiddos and they loved it.We had a great time out on the water. Hunter made sure we all caught some fish. He was great with the kids and teaching them how to fish, put bait on the hooks, and made it a memorable experience. We would definitely book with him again.

    Amazing experience

    2 Hour Trip on May 30, 2021

    We had a wonderful experience fishing with great tackle on a beautiful and spacious boat. We caught dozens of mackerel, a few rock fish, a sculpin, and a 14” calico bass which was the catch of the day. We would highly recommend this charter to everyone, Captain Barrett was the best you could ask for!

Captain Hunter Barrett grew up in Huntington Beach and has always been around and loved the ocean. He started surfing when he was 6 years old and found his passion for fishing at 8 when he caught his first Mackerel. After that, his dad would take him out all the time, burning out with how often his son wanted to go fishing. When the captain was 18, he started to work on a 6-pack charter boat called 'Options.' He worked as the second captain for 4 years and learned from one of the best White Seabass fishermen on the coast. Enjoy your trip to Long Beach by stepping out with a true professional aboard HB Sportfishing!
