What anglers say about Sculpin fishing
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM or PM))
Beginners Luck!
Had a great time with Captain John. He took great care of a boat full of inexperienced anglers. Would recommend him highly. Especially great with kids. We appreciated his help when the girls caught a 3.5 foot shark!
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Trip — Captain's Choice)
Great trip with a great Captain!
This was my wife and I's first ocean fishing experience and Captains choice was the best choice. We caught quite a few fluke, some sea robins, one dogfish shark, and a large skate. If you are looking to target a specific species just reach out and they will advise you honestly abut the best time of year and honest chances of success. Wonderful people and we will be back with our children next time!

So much fun!
Captain Larry had a gleaming, clean boat, and was well organized and very efficient. He took us to several spots and we took home sand bass and sculpin, and my son caught a couple of barracuda, which definitely made his day! We only wish we’d booked a longer trip!

A new favorite MV tradition!
Can’t say enough great things about fishing with Capt. John. My 13yo son loves fishing and John was terrific with him, let my son weigh in on places to fish from and they had a great banter and rapport the entire fishing trip. John’s boat was very comfortable and it was a lovely morning and will be a new addition to our future MV lists of things to do.

Fun day on the water
Caught lots of fish & kept enough for an excellent dinner. Captain Larry put us on lots of fish & we had a great time. Will definitely book again next August when we’re out that way.

About Sculpin fishing
'Sculpin' is a broad term that refers to over a hundred species of fish. With varieties occuring in both fresh and salt water all over the world, they are a widespread family. What unites them all are their prickly dorsal fins and their habitat. These fish are bottom dwellers and that's where they prefer to live and feed most of the time.
There are three main species of freshwater Sculpin in the United States: the attractive-sounding Slimy Sculpin, which lives in the New England area, the Mottled Sculpin, which is widely distributed across America, and the deep water Sculpin, which lives at the bottom of freshwater lakes in North America.
However, if you are fishing for Sculpin in saltwater on the West Coast, it's likely that you're in for an unusual surprise. What commonly bears that name here is actually the Californian Scorpionfish, a mythically ugly bottom dweller whose venomous spines can cause some pretty serious stings to anyone who doesn't take due care when touching them.
Although these are prickly creatures to handle, they make for a wonderful meal.
