I grew up fishing in our local waters and around Catalina Island. I started working on fishing boats when I was 12 and did it 20 years. I've always owned a boat, so spent 36 years on the water. I love teaching everyone how to fish especially the kids. Come out and get the best experience I guarantee we are the best all around

    Fantastic Catalina Fishing Trip

    9 Hour Trip – Catalina • 4 adults

    What a great day on the water! Four of us went sport fishing to Catalina Island for the day and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We caught a great variety of fish, but what really made the difference was Captain Roger and Logan. They gave us excellent instruction and plenty of personalized attention, especially to a few of us older guys, and made sure everyone was comfortable, involved, and having a good time. They took care of everything—from baiting our hooks and helping us land the fish to properly preparing and filleting our catch at the end of the day. Their knowledge, patience, and attention made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. Just as importantly, Captain Roger and Luke made the day fun. There were plenty of jokes, laughs, and great conversation throughout the trip. It felt less like just hiring a fishing charter and more like spending a terrific day at sea with people who genuinely enjoy what they do. Great fishing, great people, lots of laughs, and some beautiful fish to take home. Captain Roger and Logan made it a memorable Catalina fishing trip and a five-star experience. We would definitely go out with them again!

    Fun Day at Sea!

    4 Hour Trip - Local • 4 adults

    Captain Roger and crewmate Logan were incredibly attentive and made sure we had a wonderful fishing experience. Logan tirelessly baited our hooks with fresh sardines to improve our chances of attracting yellowtail, while Captain Roger shared helpful tips and guidance on fishing techniques throughout the trip. As a grandma, I especially appreciated their patience and willingness to help with baiting the hooks and casting my pole. Although the yellowtail was elusive, we caught lots of bass, barracuda, and bonito. Their kindness and dedication made the experience truly enjoyable and memorable!

    Amazing First Time Experience!

    4 Hour Trip - Local • 4 adults

    Our family's first fishing trip couldn't have been more amazing, and that's all thanks to Captain Roger! He was very knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience fun and stress free. He took the time to answer all of our questions, showed us exactly what to do, kept us laughing, and was always there to help whenever we needed it. Captain Roger also worked hard to keep us on the fish and made sure everyone caught something. Afterward, he took the time to clean and bag our fish, which was greatly appreciated! If you're looking for a captain who is friendly, experienced, and genuinely wants his guests to have an amazing time, Captain Roger is the one to book. He made our first fishing trip an unforgettable experience, and we created memories our family will cherish forever. We can't wait to fish with him again!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!

    Local Trip with Roger

    6 Hour Trip – Coastal (AM)

    We booked a local fishing trip with Roger on the Leah Klea and we’re not sure exactly what to expect. Captain Roger exceeded any expectations we had and put us on multiple spots where we caught all types of fish, including a huge halibut. Captain Roger and his beautiful boat were amazing, but his customer service is where he really shined. Captain Roger made sure our entire group had the best experience possible me and we will all be fishing with him in the future. For anyone considering taking a trip with Roger, stop thinking about it and just go!

    Reported catch:
    Rockfish
    Halibut
