Fantastic fishing with the kids

6 Hour – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared6 adults1 child

We had a great experience taking grandpa and our children out fishing with Captain Del. Everyone had an absolute great time and Captain Del was the main reason for that. He was very helpful and patient. He took us directly to a spot where we essentially just reeled in fish after fish. We reached our limit within a couple of hours, but Captain Del took care of everything. He worked up quite the sweat unhooking all the fish as well and repairing the occasional bottom snag. He had a great attitude throughout it all and I would highly recommend him to friends and family. The trip made a positive lasting impression on our kids and I am glad that they are now excited for possible future fishing trips.

    Captain Del made my grandsons week!

    Tuna starting August 1st (Shared) • 2 adults

    I and my grandson only get to see each other 1 or 2 times a year due to the miles between us. I wanted this summer trip this year to be extra special as I am aware 9 & 10 year old boys really don’t want to hang with Grandma, so we booked this deep sea fishing trip. Del was fun, professional, safe and helpful in every aspect of this adventure. He was patient and encouraging with me (I am not a fisherman) and my grandson. We were educated with the temperatures of the water and feeding habits of Tuna, and much more while hauling in 24 keepers! His call home while we were leaving the doc was so fun to listen to him repeat stories of what happened during our time out in the Pacific. I’m not sure, but we might be doing this again.

    What an amazing day! Captain Del is the best!

    8 Hour – Halibut Shared • 2 adults

    This was me and my bf’s first time out on the open seas and captain Del made it such an amazing experience! From the moment we stepped on the boat he was patient, encouraging, hilarious and worked hard to make sure that we had an unforgettable time. The fishing trip of a lifetime! We caught enough halibut to feed us, our families, and friends for the rest of the summer! We don’t know where we’re going to store it. Our freezers aren’t big enough. 🤣 Needless to say, we had an amazing time and we are planning on coming back in the fall to do some salmon fishing with Captain Del! 10 out of 10 experience!

    Response from Captain

    Meghan thank you it was a trip to remember for sure ,we had a great day (Fathers day) cant wait to put you on some Salmon in the fall until than take care and thank you for the review.

    We had the best time! 10/10

    6 Hour – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared • 2 adults • 1 child

    Capt Del was great! My son and I had so much fun. We caught fish, crab, lots of laughs, and overall had the best experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better time for my son’s first charter. From getting on the boat, catching fish, taking photos, pulling pots, the fillet process, and hanging with Capt. Del…. we had the best time. Fully recommend 10/10. And Capt. Del knows his stuff- it’s obvious. We will be back! Rippin’ Lips!!!

    Great experience!!!

    6 Hour – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Del took me and my family on a great fishing trip!!! He kept us in top of the fish and was very attentive every time there was an issue and made sure my son was catching fish! For a one man crew he took care of all of us very well! I would highly recommend this man and i will certainly be using him any other time we go out for a charter!! Thanks a bunch Del!
