Had a wonderful time fishing with Captain David and crew. We fished for rockfish and Lingcod. They put us in spots where we were able to catch fish. Saw some nice coast line and the bay area. They took the time to show us what we needed to do to catch fish. They cleaned our catch for us. I would highly recommend them, and there shirts and sweatshirts are the bomb. Thank you

Awesome day with Ron and Hunter
5/5
This is my second time chartering with captain Ron, great experience all around. The water is a little bit choppy today but Ron took us to a quieter place to load up on lingcod’s and rock cod. On our way back, we stop for stripe bass and we immediately reach limit within 10 mins! Captain Ron really knows the spot!
Will definitely go again next time!

We had an amazing morning with Captain Steve….and we caught our max quota of fish in just a few hours! (He knows where all the fishies are) We caught several species of fish including a China Rock Fish and a Canary Rock Fish and Lingcod. We will definitely be back for another fishing trip with Captain Steve in November! Oh and my hubby loves Captain Steve’s boat to boot! See ya again in November Captain Steve!
