If I could give more stars I would. Second time going out with the rocken reel crew. We went out with Captain Steve and deckhand Noah. They had stories and jokes,to go with their knowledge of the area.
Got the opportunity to go out on the SS Tartar Sauce, great boat.  Started off by catching some barracuda, bonita, calico bass, and mackerel.  Captain Steve straight be lined to that hot spot where we were catching and reeling in fish every two minutes. Then we moved on to another area saw some dolphins and captain diverted so we could see them from the bow of the boat. 
Then we had an epic time catching mako sharks. Hooked a very large one that broke loose.  Reset and hooked another 5 minutes later that one broke loose too!  But reset and caught two more and brought them in and released them. 
So another great experience with this charter group.  I recommend them to anyone looking to have a good time and experience. Only charter I will use.

The Captain and First Mate were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were able to keep a baited line in the water.  This was our first experience fishing offshore on a boat.  It was also our first experience in the Pacific for any activity. I highly recommend this for anyone but especially families with mature children.  I chose to only fish for a short while and preferred watching the shoreline, wildlife, and my boys (18 & 20) do all the catching. Being on the water was very calming.
The water and weather were perfect! I found this to be a definite favorite memory.

Thank you Captain Noah and First Mate Dillon for everything!

We booked this for my son’s 13th birthday. We flew in from Colorado with his best friend in tow and the captain made sure that they were going to catch fish. They went above and beyond to make sure they did, and were just amazing to my family. The captain had us come back to make up for the fact we didn’t catch much on the first round. To me that speaks volumes. It’s about the experience to him and his crew. I can never thank them enough for the memories created today.

Steve took my two boys (12 and 10) out on his larger boat, and it was so much fun. Steve knows all the spots to hit certain fish, and is just so knowledgeable. We caught barracuda, calico bass, mackerel and a Bonita. We just showed up and Steve took care of the rest. He’s also genuinely nice and funny, can’t recommend his enough. If you want to fish out of Dana Point, you shouldn’t look anywhere else.

My 14 (son) and 21 (daughter) year olds both had a a blast - as did I ! Captain Steve and his amazing deck hand made sure we were constantly reeling in fish.  We also followed an huge school of dolphin. Our first time fishing in the Pacific.  We are already talking about next year !  Trip was totally on time, boat has everything and would be great for younger kids or group of adults !
