Fishing with Daron
5/5
Great time fishing with Captain Daron. The boat is beautiful and spacious, inside was very comfortable. We went with our kids on a half day and caught a bunch of rockfish, bass, and even a legal halibut! Definitely coming back .

amazing full day trip
5/5
We had a great day fishing with captain Roger, who put us on enormous lingcod, rockfish, and sheepshead. He knew exactly where to go and how to help all of us have a great time fishing with him. Would definitely recommend you book with captain Roger!

Catalina Lingcod special
5/5
I chose the Catalina Lingcod special with Capt Roger and it did not disappoint. Roger knows these waters like the back of his hand and was able to take us right to some of the best quality Lingcod Ive ever seen in So Cal. Quality fish after quality fish came over the rail until we had limits of Lingcod(up to 35lbs) and some beautiful Vermillion rockfish by 1:30pm. I would highly recommend Rogezac Sportfishing for your next trip!

Half day Catalina rock fish
5/5
We had a great day on the water with Rodger! He was super knowledgeable and had us catching huge rockfish all day. For the protected species, he also took the time to make sure they were released appropriately. Will definitely be back again next summer for a tuna run 🍣🎣🐟

3/4 Day Trip With Captain Harry on The Mystic Queen
5/5
Me and 2 other buddies went for a 3/4 day rockfish trip. The weather was nice, sunny, and warm The boat was very clean, and the crew was very helpful. They helped us with setting up the rods, and were pretty much there when we needed anything. We were all happy having caught a lot of rockfish. I'd definitely recommend Captain Harry and Mystic Queen sportfishing.
