Capt. Clowers is first class. He’s made it fun and is very knowledgeable. We caught 3 types of bass, halibut, and Mackeral. He took care of the snags, lures, and we had quality fishing equipment. My son and I had a great day fishing on the bay. Would highly recommend this charter. Jim and Jeremy

I am not an expert on bay fishing but I’ve been on other boat fishing trips that have yielded a lot more fish. We had 1 method of fishing and it was jigs on the bottom. This wouldn’t have been bad but the fishing was really slow and the rate of drift of the boat was so much that we constantly had to pull our lines up and reposition the boat. An anchor might have helped here. Or, I think if we would have had other gear like spinning outfit or even downrigger for trolling as we moved the boat around the bay we would have caught more fish.

The afternoon fishing is tougher than AM trips because of the conditions ... wind excetra .... we don’t anchor or use down riggers in the bay ... there are times when the fish don’t want to bite no matter what we do .... 10 fish is a decent trip for afternoon ... the method Art uses is proven itself time and time again .. there is nothing we can do when they don’t bite when the conditions are windy ... we do everything in our power to catch them ... sometimes it’s not all about catching a ton of fish it’s abiut the hole experience .. there is a lot of challenging conditions with wind and if you had a bad tide to them 10 fish is a good trip .. sorry you feel that way .

It was mediocre, fishing was poor, only caught a few spotted bay bass, only 1 water left in bottom of empty cooler and couple small bags of chips. Not very fun and disappointing for money I spent.

It was a beautiful day on the bay and we enjoyed it a lot. Art worked very hard to find the fish, and even when we found them, they had lock jaw!!!!!! Ha!!! The score was Charlie 4, Ian 2 and Grandpa Wright 1. A great day and we would do it again!!!

First- we booked an off shore trip and stayed right in the immediate area; were told that our 6 hour booking was not long enough to go off shore. The skipper walked past us (the only group standing at the entrance) and finally came back 10 minutes after our start time; the first boat had engine trouble (fortunately close to port). We returned 30 minutes early and ended up feeding the bait to the seagulls. The young man helping was helpful; we never interacted with the skipper. Previous experiences at other sites have been much better overall.

The process of booking through FishingBooker was easy and helpful (I’m from out of town). Alan was responsive and punctual on the day of. Unfortunately, there was a small mechanical issue, and as we were heading into Mexican waters, he was uncomfortable making the trip.
We couldn’t come back at a later date, so he spent 40 minutes calling up other reputable fishing charters to find us a last-minute switch. He eventually secured us a spot on his friend’s boat, another well-reviewed captain from FishingBooker (I was very happy with the substitution).
The day was delayed by two hours overall, but considering the circumstances were beyond everyone’s control, it was a 12/10 solution. My client and I had a great day on the water, and Alan did the right thing quickly for us.
I would fully recommend Alan, as his boat was great, his professionalism was 10/10, and his solution to an unfortunate problem saved the day.

We had a fantastic time. We caught Halibut, Sand, Spotted and Kelp Bass. CAPT Jason knew where to go and his son Peyton our first mate was very helpful and very knowledgeable. Peyton explained what he was doing and educated us on the different kinds of fish. Great experience.

As far as expecting to go out farther and catch bigger fish .... I have a lot of trips .. You picked the bay trip…. for a very reasonable price ... Like I tell everybody if you want bigger fish and want to go offshore .., then you need to purchase a offshore trip .... I try to explaine every thing in detail about trips ..Thanks captain Clowers

We had a great time! We took a 1/2 day trip in the bay. The Captain put us over underwater structure and plenty of fish. We had 4 people in our group and at times we had 2 to 3 fish on the line at the same time.

We had a great time we caught 9 different varities of fish none big enough to keep but it was a lot of fun. When the fishing would slow down we would move and start all over. I feel it was great outing for the price.I know he had nothing to do with the weather but it was great also.

We scheduled the inland bay trip.
It was fantastic. Went past the Coronado bridge where my wife and I caught some spotted bass and a mackerel. (sp) relocated to the top secret area and caught fish almost non stop for 3 hours.Bat rays, sting rays, a halibut, a leopard shark and something that snapped a 50 lb test line after a 5 minute battle. Capt Alan is a first class person and I would definitely book with him againKeith Lehmann recommends Captain Clowers Charters - OffshoreFished February 2017

This trip was absolutely amazing! We have done many trips but this trip was our favorite. Captain Clowers was great and had everything we needed. He took us all over and never sat in a dry spot. If the fish weren’t biting, we moved to a different spot which was great because we caught the biggest fish we’ve ever caught. The deckhand Trevin was AWESOME! This kid is so knowledgeable and skilled. He did all the work for all 4 of us and really worked his butt off to make sure we had a great time. He helped my teenage son hook several fish and took the time to teach us all a few things about how to catch a particular type of fish. We can not wait to go again and will DEFINATELY be going with these guys!
