I booked a trip with Captain Mike for my Son and I. The boat is comfortable and spacious. Captain Mike has all the gear you need for all different types of fishing to maximize the chances to catch a variety of fish. The boat is quick. Getting you on the fishing grounds in no time...There are drinks and snacks provided as well. Captain Mike is very communicative and transparent. Very friendly and accommodating. He goes above on beyond to get you all the fish on your bucket list. He is very helpful and open to teaching you some fishing information if you are interested. My son is getting into fishing and Captain Mike spent time talking to him and giving him some pointers on rigs, spots to fish and techniques. From my perspective that is wholesome and amazing. It set a last impression on my son and he was out fishing the following day. The reality of fishing is sometimes those fish just dont bite. For us it didnt matter. We had a blast out in the water hooking up on plenty of other species of fish we never caught before. Some we never knew about we wanted on our bucket list and a few surprise catches as well. I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Captain Mike. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for the excellent write up. I hope the trip helped create a lifelong love of fishing for your son!
It is very clear Captain Mike cares about his clients. We spent the morning trying to find the fish, which we eventually did. Once that happened we pulled a large number of Mahi and Yellowtail into the boat. It was non-stop for several hours there, and we did very well. Mike is friendly, knowledgable and just a great guy. Would definitely do a charter with him and his boat again. His boat is also very fast, saving a bunch of time getting to where we needed to go and getting back to the marina as well.
Thank you for the great review! I love days like this was. Lots of action and fun! See you all again soon.
we had a blast with Capt. Mike. He took the time to know what kind of fishing we wanted to and worked hard give us the best possible experience. We caught 4 Bonitas a Mako shark, yellow tail and a bunch of rock fish. Almost more fish than we could carry home. i highly recommmend and will book Mike again.
Today was a great day! Thank you again for coming out, and thank you for the kind review!
we have charted fishing boats all over the country. Captain Mike knows where the fish are and how to catch them! The boat is well equipped with a nice cabin (with bathroom) and a smooth and fast ride, which allows us to get to the fishing grounds way before anyone else! Plenty of seats and very comfortable. We not caught tons of fish, and saw sea lions and even a whale. We will be back! highly recommend!
I'm so glad you guys had a great time. I did too! The ocean definitely put on a show. See you all again sometime soon!
What an amazing day out at the Coronado Islands with Captain Mike Silva! The water was beautiful and the fishing didn't disappoint — landed a solid yellowtail, which made the whole trip. Mike knows these waters and put us right on the fish. Great crew, great scenery, and a perfect day on the water from start to finish. If you get the chance to fish the Coronados with Mike, take it — highly recommend!
It was a pleasure hosting you! A great day of fishing indeed. Thank you very much for the kind referral.
