Cold weather and winds are screwing up the waters. Tuff day of swells and weather but still managed to get some fresh meat. For these three x-military guys. Thank you for your service and booking on Graphic Slayer Sportfishing Bruce, James and Joe!

Thanks to JT’s expertise, a bunch of novice fisherman caught more fish than expected. The 4 of us caught approximately 30 fish, with our newbie catching a massive Lingcod. Thanks JT for all your help.

What a thrilling day of fishing! Slightly adventurous for our journey across the channel. We rallied together and successfully navigated the rough waters. Now you have quite the tale to recount! Cheers to many more fishing adventures ahead!

Full day fishing at the islands

My cousin and I spent the day on Graphic Slayer earlier this week. It was one of the best days of summer I could imagine. Captain JT took us around Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands, stopping at various places he knows where we caught Red Snapper, Rockfish, Barracuda, Sheepshead, and Ocean Whitefish. I had never gone ocean fishing before and Captain taught me everything I needed to know, provided the fishing gear, bait and fileted the fish for us on the way home.

JT is the man! My son caught his first fish first thing in the morning. Every fishing spot was biting, we filled an ice chest full of trophy sized Red Snapper, Sculpin and more! Also, JT is good company and a wealth of expertise to learn from. You will not regret booking a trip and getting out on the water.
