First time in the Bay Area for me to go fishing. We definitely did well, limited out on stripers and caught a ton of rockfish

John and his deck hand Johnny were amazing. They both have great personalities and were cracking jokes with us non stop. We all hit our limits on Dungeness and they had us on the rockfish right after. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and our freezers were stocked. Already I have recommended to people and wanted to make sure to write a review!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing day of fishing with Captain John out past the bay. We quickly caught our limits on rockfish for the day. Ended the day seeing a pod of whales feeding and Captain John stopped for a bit (we were heading in for the day) so we could watch them and take pictures. I will surely be back out on his boat.

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
