We went out on the trip hoping for yellowtail, but knew that it was still early in the season and they might not be around yet. We wound up bottom fishing the day of, caught some beautiful Rockfish, good sized, and came home with plenty to split between two households, and at least enough for 3 or 4 dinners for our family of 5 and a dinner friend or two.

We are used to catching bigger fish in the Gulf like snapper and grouper. The water was a little more choppy this trip so we feel like the weather had some bearing on not catching the bigger fish. We still had a great time.

If you’re coming to San Diego in November through February make sure you have warm clothes. At least three layers to take off during your day. It’s normally on the water in the high 40s to low fifties first thing in the morning. Once suns up its in the High sixties.

Halibut can be spotty if you book a trip late in October(if you only do a half day, full day trips will be better for halibut) but captain Sean will make sure you have a great time and catch fish either way

Bring a jacket... even if it's warm on shore, once you are out in open water, and the boat is going, it gets cold.

This was the first time that I ever fished on Lake Tahoe. I am from Iowa, so I don’t do much fishing at all. I really had an unbelievably great time and enjoyed catching my limit in 3 hours. What a beautiful lake. I give this a 10!!!!
