A wide variety of fishing techniques may be used including, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, casting or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Brian also offers kite fishing for large Bluefin tuna.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life jacket we have several on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks – luckily, Capt. Brian will have some available!
You’ll be welcome aboard a custom 35’ Sportfisher with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There’s a porcelain flushing toilet on board for your convenience.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is used as well and whatever else may be required to catch as many fish as possible!
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, it is required to buy a local fishing license for anyone fishing 16 and older. This information is usually available online, or you can purchase them at the location prior to departure(cash only).
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

San Diego Rockfishing! Who knew?
8 Hour Trip on April 6, 2025
Went out on the Double Down 4/6/2025. Caught some great Rockfish! I believe it was Captain Gavin and apologies, but I forget our deck hands name, but they took great care of us. Got us on fish, angled best we could for currents and rocky bottom, and came up with a great catch. Helped us out tremendously, since we had first timers on board. Wonderful day out on the water, accommodations were plenty enough, and made some great fishing memories. What more can you ask for?

4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 1, 2024
David and Curtis were very knowledgeable and got us out on the water quick. Within minutes we had fish on and caught a variety of different types of fish. We reached the limit on Bonitos and were catching so many we just had to release them. Was a great time, got to keep the fish, and had a very professional and courteous crew. Big thanks to David and Curtis for the hard work they put in for us to have a good time on the water.

It all started with my dad as a kid. I always loved being on the water and catching anything I could. Over the last 40 years, I’ve made fishing my life. I’ve been fishing the waters of Southern California on anything from tiny boats to luxury Sportfishing yachts. Inshore or offshore there’s no place I’d rather be. Running charters for families and big game anglers allows me to share my passion for fishing. The variety of species and anglers keeps it exciting.
