Happy Life Fishing 

to all who want to join a very comfortable ride, she amazing sites around Catalina and just want to have a good time. They provided snacks, drinks, and multiple beds of our choice. I would know because I was on one of them the entire time although I was sick, I was having a fantastic time catching fishes would go again definitely on an empty stomach and maybe take the entire bottle of sea sick pills 10 out of 10 would go again 

Loved hanging with Max - very nice guy and caught tons of fish.

The captain was very good. He knew where the fish were and moved to find them. We caught plenty of fish.

It was a worthwhile 4 hour deep sea fishing adventure with my son.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with our recent fishing charter on Happy Life, which cost $1,400. The experience did not match the description on your website. Although a deckhand was advertised, this was a one-man operation. Because there was no crew to assist us, we had to bait our own hooks and unhook our own fish with very little help from the captain. Furthermore, the captain spoke very little English, making communication extremely difficult. To conclude the trip, we asked to have our catch cleaned, but we were told no. As a result, we only caught small fish and most of our group could not take any fish home.

The captain was a good guy, however there was no mate so he had to do that job as well, we caught fish ( mostly shark) but thats just how it goes, when we got back to dock, he wanted to give us the fish whole, not even gutted, and i requested that he fillet them, he said he didnt know how! Ohh, one more thing, he charged us for lost sinkers, hard to keep those when sharks are biting 👎🏼

At the beginning of the trip, there were tuna boiling everywhere. Even with limited boat traffic, the captain did not seem to understand that to catch the tuna you need to go to where they are boiling. Once we switched to calico bass fishing, we caught a few but the captain did not seem to want to ever move spots, having us constantly drift the same shoreline where we would barely catch any fish. All in all, the best part of the trip was not the fishing and was the boat ride out there and boat ride back where I slept. There is a $300 cash fuel charge that is not stated until after booking. We were also told there was a $200 charge for live bait when the booking stated it was included. When asked to fish for yellowtail we were told it was additional $800 charge when it was stated it was included. When I inquired about this, they said it was an error on their part and it would be included. However, we were assigned a captain that had no idea what he was doing beyond very basic fishing and he spoke little English which made communication difficult. We has 6 very experienced fisherman on the charter and caught at most 10 small fish due to the inexperience of the captain. I would not recommend this to any serious angler. It was a very expensive trip that was very disappointing.
