Blue fin tuna spearfishing trip
12 Hour Trip – Offshore Bluefin on July 20, 2022
It’s been a life long dream to go on spearfishing trip. During the years prior I have done a ton of research on who is the best captain, and from what I found was Captain James Fisher. From all the captains that I have followed on social media, no one stood out more than captain James, his track record of being on the fish on every trip that he went out on is remarkable. Before I even met Captain James I followed him on social media for years, and then finally my friends and I decided to do a blue fin trip together. We all agreed that Captain James is the one to go with. His fishing knowledge is nothing that I’ve ever seen. Being a former sportfishing captain myself, I was highly impressed with Captain James, fishing skills, and his overall knowledge of the area of Southern California and Mexico captain James put me on a once in a lifetime fish I will never forget that! So if you are looking for the right Captain, that will be on the fish, look no further Captain James is who you want to book with on Maverick sport fishing.

Full day big bluefin fishing with captain James
12 Hour Trip – Offshore Bluefin on June 20, 2023
Captain James was the perfect choice for full day trip looking for big blue fin. He is a master at his craft and works extremely hard to get you on em. We had multiple opportunities at some very picky bluefin. Captain James was persistent untill we got one to bite. We went on the 28ft Boston whaler and it was perfect! We plan to book with Captain James again in 2 months. Can't wait!

12 Hour Trip – Offshore Bluefin on May 31, 2023
Awesome day with Captain James. He is a passionate and talented fisherman who does his best to put his clients on fish. I have fished with James many times and his program is first class. Excellent instincts and an all around waterman. I would recommend him to any group of fisherman from beginners to seasoned veterans, looking for the fish of a lifetime.

Great day fishing with Captain Brian
12 Hour Trip – Offshore Bluefin on July 16, 2023
Had an absolute blast fishing with the guys at Mavrik. Everything was set up great. Easy getting on in the morning. Very knowledgeable and attentive when it came to the actual fishing. Captain Brian had the fish processor all set up before we even got back. Will definitely be going again!

Your captain
San Diego, California, United States
I'm Captain James Fisher, and fishing is my passion and way of life. I was born and raised in Hawaii, where I started fishing at a young age. I moved to san diego in 2010 and quickly fell in love with the fishery, and in 2017 I became a charter captain. My work is my pride, that's why I provide top-of-the-line gear and keep my boats in mint condition and clean. Every single day I try to catch more fish than the other small boats around here. Join me and I'll go above and beyond to have the best day possible!
