Came for a Fish… Left as mmmFishing Pros
Calamari & Whiting for 4 people on February 22, 20264 adults

Our 2nd charter in 4 months with Skipper Dale… and once again, he absolutely delivered (starting to think he’s got fish on speed dial). His knowledge of where to fish, how to fish, and what to use was spot on — we barely had time to finish a sentence before someone’s rod was bending. What really sets Dale apart is how he caters to everyone. Our crew ranged from 18 to 70, and he made sure everyone was involved, laughing, and actually catching fish — not just holding the rods for photos. For those of us who weren’t exactly “experts,” he was more than happy to share a few tricks… and let’s just say, we left looking a lot more experienced than we arrived. If you’re after an easy-going, down-to-earth skipper who genuinely loves what he does (and makes sure you do too), we couldn’t recommend Skipper Dale highly enough.

Captain worked hard.
Pinky/salmon/Calamari (2 people) on July 16, 20262 adults

We each caught a couple of squid and a small snapper. Captain worked hard looking for salmon, but they just weren’t around. Oh well, thats why they call it fishing not catching!! Captain Dale was great explaining the different techniques for the different species, took us to see some sea lions, provided snacks and drinks, and had some great music playing!! Overall, it was a good day on the water.

What a Skipper, What a Catch
Snapper season Charter for 2 People on November 12, 20252 adults

Birthday present for the lady and what an experience. Dale is a superstar his dedication to making sure you catch something is by far his number one goal. He knows where the fish are and he knows how to fish. His knowledge is on point. We bagged up. From the moment the first rod went in to the moment our last fish was caught it was pure excitement, hectic, fast but words cannot describe it. The birthday girl puts this whole experience at number 1 and it couldn't have happened without a dedicated skipper. Dale you by far exceeded all our expectations .We are super glad we got the experience of 'best night of the season' with you. Our biggest snapper 83cm long & 5kg who can complain.... Cheers mate look forward to our next adventure with you.

collective fathers day trip for my father and my husband.
Pinky/salmon/Calamari (3 people) on September 6, 20253 adults

captain Dale went over and above to find us more fish. we had a fun morning all catching lil snappers but then the wind came. the wind slowed the fish catching down but despite this we had a great time. we did manage to supply father inlaw with a tasty meal and entree (the man loves eating fish but yer. . . try getting him in a boat lol) highly recommend this trip I was able to spend some quality time with two of the most important men in my life, no crowd, ni fighting over the best spots/equipment we felt like we were given the best opportunity to just fish freely and enjoy!
