12 Hour Trip – Tuna Hunt on July 9, 2025
Had the absolute best time fishing with Captain Danny. Him and his crew were super knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about putting us on fish. They knew the local waters inside and out and had us on quality bites in no time. Gear was top-tier and the boat was badass, had us out in the zone asap and making stops along the way. Can’t say enough good things. great vibes, weather, and most importantly, great fishing. Whether you're a local or visiting, don’t miss the chance to get out with this crew. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.

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!
