Catalina Island Freelance Full Day on March 16, 2025
Had an amazing last minute trip where we didn’t expect much but to spend the day fishing and maybe catch some fish in this transitional time of year for fishing in CA! Shant is a great captain and a great guy who made it a priority to find fish!! Came away with an ice chest full of fish and great day overall! Would highly recommend Shant for any trips from beginners to experienced fisherman!

Catalina with Captain Shant
Catalina Island Freelance Full Day on January 20, 2025
We had a day fishing trip with Shant to Catalina as a family with my partner, and two boys 9 and 11. Had a great time, Shant was very welcoming, helpful and great with our kids throughout the trip. We stopped over at the island for lunch, did more fishing in the afternoon before heading back. Seals, pelicans and dolphins accompanied us on the trip. Most of the afternoon fishing was taxed by the seal :) I would definitely recommend a trip Shant for families. We'll be back for bluefin this summer. Thank you Shant!
