Fish Reapers Sportfishing 

Highly recommend Captain Scott and his first mate, Mark! We had such a great day out on the water with our family. We had kids ranging from 5 to 14 years old, and both Scott and Mark were incredibly patient, helpful, and great with all of them. Scott’s boat is beautiful, newer, comfortable, and very well equipped with everything you need for a great day of fishing. Scott clearly knows the waters around Half Moon Bay and knew exactly where to take us. We caught a ton of fish and didn’t even keep everything we caught! We brought in a great variety, including vermilion, tiger, canary and other rockfish, a couple of rosy rockfish, lingcod, and even a sanddab. Scott and Mark were incredibly knowledgeable about the different species we were catching, which made the experience even more fun for the kids. I didn’t quite have my sea legs at first, and Scott was so thoughtful. He even offered me some bubbly soda to help settle my stomach. Thankfully, I shook it off pretty quickly and was able to enjoy the rest of the day. Mark was fantastic. He has been fishing the Half Moon Bay area for decades and has so much knowledge and so many great stories. He was especially wonderful with the kids and incredibly patient with them throughout the trip. He even helped us fillet our catch afterward, which we really appreciated. The boys had an absolute blast, my husband loved it, and it was such a fun experience for our entire family. We came home with plenty of fresh fish and some great memories. We would absolutely book with Captain Scott and Mark again and highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip out of Half Moon Bay!

My 12yo son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Scott on the Fish Reaper. He is a conscientious host who worked very hard all to keep our lines in the water and to give us the the best opportunity possible to catch fish. He has clearly put his heart and soul into a state of the art fishing boat - high end equipment and technology on board. He also clearly loves fishing himself and really wants his guests to have fun and catch fish ... he knows the topography of the ocean floor like the back of his hand and was constantly maneuvering to keep us on top of the fish. My son (despite a little sea sickness) was thrilled to reel in fish and is already asking me when we can do another trip. We will be back!

Family of 6, 3 generations from age 11 to 77. We had a great time, everything was absolutely perfect. We each caught our limit, it was the most successful fishing trip I've ever had. Definitely would recommend.

Took my wife and two boys aged 9 and 11 out for some near shore rock fishing with Captain Scott. It was awesome! Caught a beautiful huge lingcod and a ton of rock fish. Whole family had a blast! Boat, crew and Captain were amazing! Would repeat.
