Fish the local coast of Orange County with its reefs, man-made structures, kelp beds, and points. Trips are anywhere around where the fish are biting. Favorite spot is the Santa Ana River Jetty and Newport Artificial Reef, both are famous for very large White Seabass, Yellowtail, and Halibut. Calico Bass pretty much live at all these spots and are really fun to reel in. The bonus side to this trip is that your fishing time is maximized.

Great boat with committed captain. My 15 year old son and I caught 13 fish and had a blast. The Captain worked hard to have us succeed.

All Star Captain.
5/5
Capt Michael was awesome. We fished with a different Capt the day earlier. Night and day difference between the two. Capt Michael will always be my first choice going further. He’s knowledgeable and very much a hard worker. Great boat and very fast. This allows more fishing and less traveling. I write very few reviews. This trip definitely deserves 5 Stars.

We hooked several rockfish, a barracuda, and finished off with a 36 inch yellowtail. Travis took us right where we needed to be. Easy parking. Plenty of room on the boat for the four of us.

Family Friendly…Low Stress
5/5
Capt Sam and Kai were awesome. they were flexible with the start time and duration of our charter. With three small children under the age of 11, it was a very stress-free and easy as a family. All the kids caught fish and they had snacks on board. What more can you ask for? Will book again, for sure.
