Great day of multi-species inshore fishing
6 hour inshore yellowtail special on May 15, 20263 adults

Had an awesome day with Captain Danny and Captain-in-training Hudson while fishing with a few family members out of Oceanside. Caught a nice yellowtail first thing, then caught a variety of species on our way back to the docks, including 4 new species for me! Danny knows his equipment, the waters, and is enthusiastic and fun to fish with. Would definitely recommend!

Capt Daniel Higley of Hola Cappy Charters
Catalina Island Lobster Trip on August 29, 20253 adults

We did a 4 hour inshore with trip with Captain Danny Higley. Fishing reports have been slow but Danny is an experienced captain and we were able to catch a total of 22 plus fish. Mixture of rockfish, calico bass, white fish and some sand dabs. It was an awesome day! His deck hand Josh was awesome as well. Great boat too! Highly recommend Captain Danny Higley for your next charter. Best part of fishing is hanging out with great friends, catching fish is bonus!
