Fish on!!!
10 Hour Trip – Catalina Island on June 2, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child
If you want to catch fish Justin is the captain you want he is not just trying to take you on a boat ride . He is the captain that will find them and get them in the boat!!! We have been on 5 other fishing excursions hands down by far this one was the best.
