3 Hour • 2 adults • 1 childMy 4-year old son and I went out with Captain Ryan and caught about 20 fish across 5 different species herr in mid September. Incredible experience thanks to Ryan’s knowledge if the area. Highly recommend for an exciting adventure.
Sam StrakaRepeat anglerCalifornia, US•Member since 2025•2 trips5.0VerifiedGreat fishing trip!
Trip for Sam • 3 adultsWe booked our trip last minute but Captain Cheyne made this work for us and very accommodating to our schedule. We had a great time out on the boat with Captain Ryan and he managed to find us some awesome fish to catch although it was a bit slow in the beginning he found a good spot where we caught Sculpen, Bass and Sheephead. I can highly recommend these guys and would be happy to come back again for more fishing!

3 Hour - 12:00 PM • 3 adultsMy son and I had a great time on our 3 hour fishing trip with Ryan, our Captain. We caught 7 fish, but 2 were too little and had to go back, but we enjoyed some delicious Calico Bass tonight for dinner. What an awesome experience! Thanks!
