We had a great time fishing with Tanner and were able to catch a big bluefin tuna! Tanner has a fast boat! Caught the group off guard at take off. Overall if you’re looking to sportfish and catch is your main goal, then fishing with Tanner is the best option.

I have gone on more than a few trips with Captain Harry. By far the best fishing charter I have been on. Super knowledgeable about the water with great service. Provides all of the best equipment for you to use so you are ready to get out there and have the best time. Highly recommend for any charter you are trying to do from rock fish to yellowtail and bluefin tuna. If you want to have a great day of fishing head out with this charter.

5/5
May 12-year-old son and I had an amazing trip with Captain Gerry out to Catalina Island. If we do not get a fish within two minutes of our line being water it was a disappointment. The captain had us on the fish from the moment we stopped until we left. We caught everything including a shark! And my son caught a huge 28 inch halibut.Gerry wasn’t an amazing captain and we even saw a school of dolphins coming back to Long Beach. I cannot more highly recommend this Charter.
