    Great experience!

    Full Day Trip – Crabbing on May 26, 2024 • 4 adults

    This was our fist trip fishing the ocean. We originally had just the crab trip booked but Demar the captain talked us into rock fishing as well. We are so glad he did. We got on the boat at 6 set crab pots and then set out to fish. By 9 all 4 of us had caught our limit. Had a really great time with my boys. Demar and his crew are top notch and they know their stuff. We will definitely be back again to go out on the all day halibut trip. Don't hesitate to book a trip with Big Bite fishin!

    He did me a favor

    Special 5 hours trip for Drew And Charlie on August 17, 2025 • 1 adult

    I only had one day left at the coast and everyone was booked or crossed out. So i messaged him and offered him a big tip to take me on a late 4 hourlate trip. From noon-5:00. And we limited on rockfish and caught a halibut. Excellent fishing. Excellent captain.

    3/4 Day Trip Rockfishing

    3/4 Day Trip – Rockfising on September 16, 2021 • 4 adults

    My sons biggest request for his birthday trip was to charter a boat and go fishing. Captain Demar and 1st mate Adrian were friendly and knowledgeable and made it a memorable trip. The boat is brand new, super clean and FAST! All of the equipment was well kept and ready-to-go, so there was no waiting or prep. They got us on the fish quickly and kept us on them all day. We caught our limit in about an hour and spent the rest of the time catching and releasing. In all we left with over 25 fish! Including a few lingcod. I highly recommend Captain Demar and Big Bite Fishin Charters!!

    Great day rock fishing

    3/4 Day Trip – Rockfising on August 23, 2021 • 3 adults

    Faster boat meant more time fishing. Capt. Demar knew the right spots to hit where the fish were biting. You could tell Dean and Demar really like their jobs and we're happy to keep us fishing until everyone hit their limit. Great gear and they always made sure extras were ready we never wasted a minute. When the fish cleaning place was closed they even cleaned them for us and helped teach us if we wanted to learn. Highly recommend these guys.

    Hard-Working Skipper!

    3/4 Day Trip – Rockfising on July 16, 2026 • 1 adult

    The fish were shy early, but Captain Demar got it done. We limited on rockfish, brought in one ling, and cleaned house on crabs. The boat was super clean and everything worked like it was supposed to. Captain and deckhand were cheerful, helpful, and knew their stuff.

Captain and crew kept us moving until we found fish. He did a good job of locating and targeting the fish until we caught our limit. Good fishing trip.
