Sam LarsonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedChris was great, super fun morning
SoCal Surf Fishing on December 30, 2025 • 2 adultsChris was super helpful in explaining the setup, moving us around to try and find the right spots, and being patient and helpful with my 11 year old son who is fishing obsessed. We caught a bunch of little guys in the surf today which was fun since he just wanted to cast and catch regardless. Great trip and really informative for us to know how to properly fish the surf in the future too. Would totally book again.
Janay Lake5.0VerifiedTJ and his crew are the BEST
SoCal Surf Fishing on June 28, 2026 • 2 adultsthese guys are awesome. Worth the money to make sure you catch some fish. They put the worms on for you and even take the fish off if you don’t want to touch them! Great for kids and adults.

2 Hour Pier Fishing Trip on March 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childMy husband and son had an awesome experience with TC. They caught lots of fish and TC was personable and help create a forever memory.
Ryan BlackburnRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPerfect way to learn how they fish here.
2 Hour Pier Fishing Trip on July 29, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childOur 2 hour trip was spent catching a fish about every 20 minutes. I am an avid fisherman and my son has a disability. We were able to bring our service dog and had plenty of room to chill. We learned how they fish here...the rig, the line, the poles, the bait, etc... now we can reproduce that when we go fish the pier or surf on the rest of our trip. Captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable and wanted to learn as much as possible about my son's electric reel so they could look into one in the future. Great trip! https://www.fishwinch.com/motorized-battery-powered-automatic-one-handed-fishing-reel-rod-pole-for-disabled-handicapped
Tori Mandal5.0VerifiedGreat day catching lots of ocean fish!
2 Hour Pier Fishing Trip on August 22, 2023 • 3 adults • 2 childrenWe’re from MN and my son has always begged to go fishing in the ocean. This was the perfect option - we caught a ton of fish you just don’t see in MN (where we’re from)! Little sting rays, spotted bass and that diamond shaped fish (I can’t remember what it’s called)! We capped it off catching a huge bat ray that my daughter snagged on her line and we pulled up! It was amazing! I definitely recommend fishing with TC if you want to get your kids out fishing in the ocean! :). Thanks for the fun times and new lessons learned!
Esther ThomasRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat experience for the kiddos!
2 Hour Pier Fishing Trip on December 23, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childMy avid 14 year old wanted to fish so bad but he was born into a family that knows nothing about fishing. This was a great experience for both my boys and a highlight of our visit to the San Diego area! Wish we had an instructor like TC in Northern Californian. They solidified their love and interest in fishing with this experience.
Bill WernerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat time! Great Fishing! Great Capt and crew!
2 Hour Pier Fishing Trip on July 23, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 childrenIt was my self and my two boys, we fish a lot in Arizona on lakes and wanted to get some experience fishing in the ocean. TC and the boys taught us some tricks, and some basic pier/shore ocean fishing knowledge. We caught a bunch of fish that morning including a bat ray, multiple sting rays, a guitar shark, and lots of bass! With our learned knowledge we had a great rest of the week fishing as well! We Thank them very much for all of the help and a great time!
