We had an amazing day on the water with captain Brian. We headed out to the Coronado islands where we came upon a National Geographic worthy performance of nature inclusive of a mega pod of 1000 dolphins, 2 blue whales, and seals as well. When we got out the tuna were feeding on the top water but ended up being quite skittish so we went trolling. Had one take the hook but got off unfortunately but Brian did not give up. We kept looking for birds and signs of action when we came upon a school of bait with birds, dolphins, and whales. Brian knew right where to go and shortly after we were on with something big. The reel started screaming (and so did my girlfriend) and the fight was on. It was a good fight but we managed to get it up quickly with an angry seal hot on its tail. Brian got the gaff and we managed to bring it over the hull. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the 60 inch 135 pound bluefin that was laying on the ground.

This truly was the trip of a lifetime and I would recommend a day out on the water with captain Brian any day!

Spent a half day with Capt Brian and family and was not disappointed. Met with us at the specified spot and headed out without a hitch. Pointed out where to park safely as well. The Captain absolutely knows his stuff as this has been his life. Navy vet too ++. Quick to point out interesting factoids as well as assorted tips which paid off. Took 5 BIG Mahi and small blue shark. My 11 year old had a boating mishap a year or so ago and was terrified to go back. Captain took interest in him which helped us bring him back to the fishing fold. Obviously a family man and father. Can’t say enough good stuff about him or his outfit. The boat is is fine order, comfortable and safe. Equipment appeared top shelf and was definitely maintained. No improprieties…cussing or such. A great excursion for the guys getting out or a family get away. We’ll worth the money. Hope he’s around next season. Thx again sir

Captain Brian was amazing!! The boat was perfect and all equipment was great!  Everything was great started out beautiful and calm and Captain Brian knew exactly where to take us and we caught some beautiful bluefin, yellowfin and Dorado! 

It was my 13-year-old daughter’s first time ever sportfishing, and I was so proud of her. She was able to land to Yellowfin tuna all by herself with the help of Captain Brian’s extensive experience in knowing where to be to catch the fish!!

Absolutely positively will rebook and highly recommend anybody looking for a great fun family time with a seasoned veteran and just an absolutely great captain you must book with Captain Brian!!!

We were blessed with a triple hit we were trolling and within about 30 seconds of each other all three of our trolling lines hit when Captain Brian found a school of yellowfin tuna, and not only did all three hit , we landed all three beautiful, big yellowfin tuna.  Absolutely such an amazing experience. Thank you Captain Brian for helping us make amazing memories of lifetime for me and my daughter.  We will never forget!!!!! 🎣🎣🎣.

Thanks again Captain Brian!! 🐠🐠🎣🎣

Things started off interestingly, we lost a huge striped marlin after hooking it briefly and seeing it jump out of the water, so the day seemed promising for some bluefin tuna that other charters had been hitting during September. We saw large readings of baitfish columns on the fish finder but there were unfortunately no hits on the multiple riggings that were placed out. My two young boys were getting tired so I asked to head back closer to land and try for some rockfish or sheepshead. Capt Brian agreed to keep the boys excited but as we headed to a new spot he kept trying to find some action. He pointed out some kelp beds and said that he thought he saw a dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) jumping around there. We headed over and found a school of mahi-mahi engaged in a feeding frenzy. My boys and I were awed by the sight of forty to fifty mahi-mahi darting around 10 to 20’ under the blue water. We could the clearly see their blue and yellow shine of them as they attacked prey fish, there was no description suitable except for “otherworldly.” It was literally like watching some of the alien creatures from Avatar, I wish I’d videoed it, but I was too busy casting and catching! For the next 45 minutes we hit multiple mahi with lures as well as live sardines. It was one of the more enjoyable experiences I’ve had. The boys were absolutely head over heels catching fish! Kudos to Capt Brian for never giving up. He even stayed over by two hours to find the mahi- mahi and to allow the boys to hit a few rockfish. I look forward to having Brian guide us again in the near future, he’s a hard working and very gracious guy!

I will start by saying I have never had a captain like Brian fish this hard for me. We caught a Yellow Fin Tuna in the first five minutes that the poles were in the water and then it went quiet, but that was for all the boats on the water. Captain Brian then used every method to try to get another hook up, plus was in constant communications with other captains. Late in the afternoon, we hooked two dorado, fishing around a kelp patch. Most captains would have been headed to the barn by three pm but we would have still been fishing past five if I had my said that I had dinner plans. Even with only tree fish it was a great day on the water.
