Here's a polished version that keeps your enthusiasm while improving the flow and grammar: Fantastic Trip and Crew! We reeled in at least 70 fish, if not more! The crew really knew what they were doing—they read the room, knew exactly where to go, and gave everyone just the right amount of attention. Mission accomplished! Our only two goals were for the kids to catch fish and to bring enough home for dinner, and we easily did both. There was plenty of room below deck for all the snacks and drinks we brought. The refrigerator kept everything nice and cold, there was a microwave if needed, and the table was a great size for setting out chips, dips, and other snacks. One quick note: the boat now departs from Dock 37, not the O/L location you may see mentioned in older posts. This was an amazing trip from start to finish. Highly recommend—you'll love it!
thanks for the great review! enjoy the rest of your guys trip!!
We had a great time with Antone and Logan.  it was me and 3, 14 year-old boys on the trip. The first thing that I thought was excellent is Antone (30s) and Logan (21) are both younger which made them very relatable to the kids. Antone is an avid baseball fan and Logan is a hockey guy. No shortage of conversation on the way out to the fish! Once there, they absolutely knew exactly what they were doing and were professional and fun from start to finish. In 3 hours we had 20 fish and enough keepers to power dinner for 5 that evening! Book with confidence - these are the guys you want!
You da man! Appriecate this! Go yankees! Haha
We had an incredible half day fishing trip on the Pacific Mistress out of Dana Point. Captain Anton and deck hand Logan were absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. The fishing was nonstop. Boy did we fish. We caught and released over 60 fish, which made for an exciting and action packed day on the water. To top it off, just as the trip was winding down, we landed a beautiful halibut that was perfect for dinner. Such a great surprise to end the trip. Everything about the experience was smooth, well organized, and enjoyable. You can tell this crew really knows what they are doing and genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend this trip to anyone in the area. We will absolutely be booking again next time we are back.
Your the best!! Thanks so much!
Captain Anton and Grant were fantastic. Super knowledgeable about fishing and very personable. They were great with my two boys, who are newer to fishing. We caught a lot of fish, 7 different species in only a couple hours of fishing. My two boys had a blast - “one of the best days ever” according to my 11 year old. We will be back for more fishing with Captain Anton! Thanks again!
Thats awesome! Thanks man for the great review! See you soon!
Captain Anton and First Mate Logan provided an outstanding fishing experience. Both of them are patient, knowledgeable, helpful and showed a nice sense of humor. They made our successful fishing experience really pleasant and enjoyable. We were a group of three: an excited 11-year old and 2 enthusiastic, adults. We are not neophytes. Each of us has spent plenty of time fishing in recent years. Anton and Logan are both quite personable which made for an extremely relaxed atmosphere aboard the Pacific Mistress. Very highly recommended. 5+/5
Thanks Jim for the great review! Logan and I both really enjoyed having you on board, fun times! Thanks again!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I got into fishing from doing summer vacations on Bass Lake and I just progressed from Bluegill and Largemouth fishing into ocean fishing. I have been running charters since 2015, having earlier been a commercial fisherman. My favorite thing about running charters is all the great people I get to meet and make lifelong memories for them and myself. Techniques are constantly changing, every year or even every day. The ocean is constantly changing so you have to adapt to new techniques all the time. We've caught anything from big 200+ lb Bluefin to big Striped Marlin, but by far our favorite fishing is for our bread and butter fish: the California Yellowtail.
