1/2 Day Trip – Inshore (am) on July 9, 2025

Wanted to fish inshore for a 1/2 day and this was perfect! Was with my 10year old and a friend and did bottom fishing and fly line. Great experience, Dan put us on the fish, tackle was spot on, and the boat had plenty of room.

4 Hour AM Inshore on June 22, 2024

We booked for a half day bay trip, we had a group of 4, with 2 of those four having never ocean fished before. We were catching fish on their well maintained boat from the first stop. Captain Dan was patient and helpful. Don’t think my daughter had to touch bait or the catch as Dan was right there to help. Next time if she wants to go she’s baiting her own hook at least. I think we had about 20 fish for our short trip out. Would definitely recommend and use again, both of the first timers and myself had a great time catching fish with Fish Further charters.

1/2 Day Trip – Inshore (am) on July 5, 2023

Booking a trip with Dan was fast and simple! The communication was great as far as directions and time or place to meet up. Right away at the dock Dan made us feel very welcome upon boarding the boat. Dan is an extremely nice person and very knowledgeable of the water and different species of fish we caught. The boat is spacious and up-to-date on ALL pertinent safety gear and equipment. We did a half day charter with 3 in our party and within 1-2 hour mark we were at our limit for Rockfish. Dan put us on the fish immediately. Quite a few times we had "instabite" and "doubles". Great time had by all and will be booking with Dan for any future trips back to California. Thanks Dan, we had a great time!
