Background
Capt. Harry's father got him into the sport at the age of three. He was amazed how a three-year-old kid would sit patiently and wait for a bite. That's when he said, "He's got it". Since then, Capt. Harry was hooked and that passion and dedication to learn and grow has never ended.He became a pinhead and then a deckhand on the boats up north learning different techniques and cutting fish as well as absorbing how to be a good captain like his mentors. With over 22 years of experience and knowledge you are assured to have the best guide by your side . Customer service is key on his boat. The captain wants you to have a great time and to catch fish! He's sponsored by Okuma to provide all your gear. He'll also tie and supply all your tackle and bait so all you have to bring is food and warm clothes. Capt. Harry started a cooking and fishing show called Boat Burgers in 2019 showing the world California's fishery and amazing food on the water. They recently upgraded their boat adding more comfort and speed on their list with a 35’ innovator sportfisher yacht .
Techniques
In California, you have such a beautiful variety of fish to catch. Almost year-round there is amazing bottom fishing and in mid-spring pelagic fish shows up as close as 15 miles from the dock. Bluefin Tuna has been a huge hit the past few years and it doesn't look like it's going away. The crew has phenomenal Bass fishing just 3 miles from home and at the outer islands. Rockfishing is a solid go-to when you want to bring some meat home and you never know what you'll catch from the depth. The crew fishes for Yellowtail on kelp patties or deep inside the structure. The epic White Seabass bite on Squid beds is sure to make people excited. The crew fishes various styles from fly-lining a bait (just a hook) to a sliding egg sinker, dropper loop, rubber band sinker rig for Bluefin, and of course, all sorts of artificial lures from iron, plastic, and trolling lures and the rubber flying fish.
