Great Experience!
5 Hour Coastline Trip (AM) on July 6, 2025 • 2 adults

Had a successful day out on the waters! Landed countless Calico Bass, couple barracudas, and Mack’s…..literally stopped counting after 15 minutes into it. Both the captain Andrew and Ace navigated us safely to the prime spots, kept the bait on the hooks going for us and even put us over some sea bass which my teenage son got to reel in a 27 inch Sea Bass. Great charter experience and Andrew and Ace are great guys and very knowledgeable, highly recommend the AWOL charter! Fish On! 🎣

Taylor is wonderful!!
SALE!!! Mexico Deep Sea fishing on April 21, 2024 • 2 adults

Super knowledgeable, educational and professional! We grew up deep sea fishing on the east coast and Carribean and this trip rivaled all of it! Caught so many fish we had to throw some back! He really know the lay of the land or should I say sea out there! Saw dolphins, sea lions, and all kinds of wildlife on top of the sheephead, rockfish, whitefish and many more species that were caught They do not oversell at all! Have a fear of the sea? Taylor is very smooth with the handling of the boat and it was an even keeled ride all the way out and back! Even still, we did not come prepared with enough cash to buy the one day fishing licenses at the marina and not only did they come help and purchase it for us and streamlined the experience, they were also able to include it in our total invoice which we did not have to worry about, paying with credit card, until the fish were cleaned, fillet’d, and we were safely back to our vehicles! Talk about service!… but bring cash you guys lol

  • Grilled fish fillets garnished with lime and cilantro, beautifully arranged on a platter, showcasing a delicious seafood meal.
    We had a group who were out on a mission to catch fish for a dinner they were holding that same evening. We had 22 fish over the duration of the trip, and had plenty to go around. Nothing like fish this fresh out of the Pacific.

    We had so much fun with AWOL. They are so knowledgeable and had us on the fish THE WHOLE TIME! Not to mention that our hooks were always baited and ready to go. They know thief stuff and make it easy to enjoy fishing with them. We had a great time! Thank you again Andrew and Ace. 10/10 would recommend and will book with them again. See y’all in September for some bluefin…

    We booked a 3 hour trip and had no reasonable expectation of hooking a yellowtail let alone 2, one of which was 40 ish pounds and the other strong enough to take drag to the bottom (larger? They are always bigger when they get away 😎).

    Windy weather meant we had to change our plans and fish a little tighter to the bank. We headed to the Coronado Bridge. After pulling in a shark and dozens of bass we landed 2 halibut of which one was a keeper.
