Chris was great, super fun morning
SoCal Surf Fishing on December 30, 20252 adults

Chris 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.

TJ and his crew are the BEST
SoCal Surf Fishing on June 28, 20262 adults

these 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.
