    The Right Stuff!

    Half Day Trip – Shark Fishing • 2 adults

    Had my first ever outing exclusively for shark and could hardly have been more pleased. Captain Jack was everything I could ask for in a Captain. He was personable and professional, worked relentlessly to put us on sharks, and displayed his vast 50 years of shark fishing experience with nearly 40 years of Guiding. We picked up a Mako before our trip was cut short as my buddy had a bout of sea sickness. Not only will I be booking with Captain Jack again, but will make it a yearly tradition as I live in Chicago. If you want sharks, including a realistic chance at a trophy Mako or Blue or even multiple trophys in one day, book with Jack for a thrill ride worth every penny!

    Reported catch:
    Mako Shark

    Captain Jack was an amazing captain and his deck hand Allan was very helpful and full of life. Both were very knowledgeable experts when it came to the sharks. Knew exactly when and where they'd hit. Both makos were over the 300 pound marker and had put up amazing fights. This will be a trip I'll never forget. Highly recommend!

    Last week saw some great big mako action in the waters off San Diego. We caught several makos from 200 to 700lbs. Several small makos, blues and even a huge great white also made appearances in the chum slicks.

    Captain Jack was a gentlemen. Took our two kids out in search of Makos, found plenty and enjoyed the experience greatly. Captain Jack was great with the kids and made everything easy for us. Hope to fish with him again soon!

    Absolutely great time. Captain Jack gave me the option of going for more fish or bigger fish which I really appreciated. He had so much knowledge of the water and the area. Decided to go bigger and Captain Jack got me on the line with a nice mako. He definitely knew how to bring the sharks into the boat and the right gear for the job. Had an amazing day out on the water and I really recommend.

    Good numbers of sharks this spring with groups releasing at or near double digits of blue sharks every trip with a mako thrown in the mix on most days. Largest so far is a 500lb class mako.
