This was our first time on a fishing boat.
Captain Devin and first mate Nick were excellent, professional, most helpful, and kept us well informed.  Nick helped make this a very memorable and successful experience for my six year old grandson.

Having only a little experience pier and surf fishing, we got an astonishing bunch of fish on this half day trip.  A little more variety in species would have been nice but that is something of which they had little control.  Captain Devin kept the boat moving and, as I have already noted, found several good areas resulting in what to us was a most satisfying catch.  We had a great time.

Captain Devin and Ross took good care of us. My daughters had a great time. Early on the wreck with triggerfish and sea bass hooking up almost immediately, then worked our way back trolling for mackerel. The girls got to hand line in the mackerel which they loved and Captain Devin took us right through them almost all the way back. Oh and bonus- got our fill of porpoise swimming all over. Great morning on the water. Ross coached my girls throughout the whole day and he was a wealth of fishing knowledge which kept my youngest daughters questions answered. If we come back we’ll be booking Poacher again.

This was an excellent experience for the whole family with Captain Devin and his First Mate.  I can say enough great things about how prepared they were and considerate, but what blew us away was how amazing they were with our young children.  They took time with them, made it fun, and of course helped keep them safe.  When we come back again we’ll be searching for Captain Devin!

Within 30 minutes my boyfriend and I were under the ocean’s spell of morning sunset, smooth ocean 🌊 breezes, and a MAOR catch of varied fish.  Caught Riven ( invasive fish, Fske tuna, and Spanish Mackerel in 4 hours ! The team of Nick and Devin showed us how to appreciate the skill it takes to meet the ocean’s mystery 🏄🏽‍♂️

Perfect half day! The Poacher was comfortable- you can sit inside or out- with a header and places to put snacks and bags. Captain Devin put us on fish right away- we all caught fish and had enough sea bass to eat for dinner the next night- and it was delicious! Al caught a redfish which was the best part of the trip for him- we were able to eat that as well! Then we caught and released some sharks. Really good day! The mate was friendly and helpful-we got the young teenager off the phone for a few hours- and we just had a fun time together. Thank you Devin and Preston- we enjoyed our day on the Poacher!
