Matt and Vince provide everyone with the ultimate fishing experience! I’ve gone fishing many times, but Matt’s expertise and experience commercial fishing made our trip the most successful fishing day of my life. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or just looking for an adventure through the scenic SF Bay Area, the Pamela J charter will not disappoint.

My friends and I had an awesome day of fishing on the PamelaJ with Captain Matt Juanes and deckhand Vince.  Matt’s a well-known commercial fisherman here in the SF Bay Area and is often interviewed by the media due to his knowledge and personality.  Matt had already gotten the live bait before we arrived so we were able to head straight out to the fishing grounds and started hooking up fish almost immediately.  On this particular day we headed south down the coast and the fish got larger as we went.  He seemed to know exactly where the fish would be that day. 

Matt’s got a ton of knowledge about fishing and not only gave me great advice but also was able to explain the behavior of the fish and why his methods work.  I was the least experienced angler in our group, but ended up catching the most fish, probably because I asked the most questions.  It was unbelievable. 

Vince kept an eye on everyone and was there to lend a hand when needed without being intrusive.  Both of them area really nice guys.

The boat is modern and comfortable.  It’s unusually wide with a ton of deck space for fishing, and has a great enclosed cabin with sectional seating and a table to chill in.  I can’t wait to go back out with these guys.

Matt and Vince are an awesome team.  Capt Matt is exceptional; his commercial fishing background really helps with putting the fish on the boat.  The customer service and handling of the catch is impeccable.  I highly recommend fishing with Matt on the Pamela J.

Fantastic day on the water! Caught several halibut, rock fish, and bat rays haha. Matt and his crew were patient, informative, and willing to help. My father and I will definitely be going out with him again!

Had a great day out on the Pamela J with Captain Matt! Lots of great memories made and a day of Halibut limits for everyone on the boat! We will be back! Thank you for the great trip.
