I had the BEST time on this 6-hour deep sea fishing trip! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. Phil was absolutely amazing—so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about fishing AND making sure everyone had a great time. He took the time to explain everything clearly, helped whenever needed (as well as baiting our poles most the time), and made sure no one felt rushed or left out.

The trip itself was a perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and excitement. We were brand knew to ocean fishing and Phil created an atmosphere that was welcoming and memorable. His positive energy and professionalism really stood out and made the whole day fun and unforgettable. We caught alot of fish, including one halibut that was just an inch too small to keep 🙁.

I can’t recommend this trip enough—if you’re looking for a deep sea adventure with someone who truly cares about giving you the best experience, Phil is the guy to book with!

It’s no exaggeration to say that Capt. Phil Power knows fish, fishing, and catching! Our party of five booked a half-day (morning) fishing trip on the Pacific Angler. The boat was clean, stocked with drinks and snacks. More importantly, Capt. Phil had all the right fishing gear onboard. We caught the limit of Bocaccio rockfish and also caught other fish like Vermilion snapper. Many of the fish were large in size. We didn’t have to travel far from Mission Bay to find those excellent fishing spots. We plan on scheduling our next fishing trip with Capt. Phil. Why go with anyone else!

Captain Phil was great. He made everybody feel comfortable and gave a lot of attention to the three young boys in our group. He made them feel like they were professional fishermen. As soon has Capt. Phil realized the fish stopped biting, he was quick to move to a new spot and change bait. Every spot we stopped at, somebody caught a fish. It was clear that it is captain phil’s mission to make sure we were constantly catching fish. We definitely went home with more fish than expected. We nearly caught 30 fish in all and definitely enough to have our huge fish fry party next weekend. We are definitely returning back to Capt. Phil. Thank you!

Captain Phil does an amazing job. He does a great job relating to the people fishing on his boat. He is kind and understanding. He made my family of all ages feel welcome and safe in their abilities. He worked very hard to find us fish. He filleted and has the fish ready to go for us at the conclusion of the trip. Definately worth the experience. Thanks Again Captain Phil!

This trip was awesome! Capt. Phil was great. Very professional but felt like one of our friends. Very knowledgeable of everything and took us to some great locations. Made sure we were catching fish. Ended the day with one of the biggest fish I have ever caught. We will be coming back to capt Phil for our private trips.
