  Big Haul in Big Sur!

  Big Sur Rock cod/Lingcod on June 20, 2026 • 4 adults

  Chris was an absolute professional. He was extremely knowledgeable on the various environmental ecosystems and where to find the fish. There was not a question he didn’t answer. Catching fish was the reason we were out there but he made the trip worth it. The operation on the boat was extremely safe and his set up was very organized. Rarely did we have a pole out of the water for more than a minute! Our trip met our bag limit of Rock Fish and Lingcod within hours. This is never guaranteed and if we would have not caught a thing the trip would have still been worth it. Do yourself a favor and book with Blue Knuckle Fishing. You will not regret it. This trip was a top experience of my life.

  Awesome rock fishing trip!

  5 Hour Trip – Rock Cod/Lingcod on August 9, 2026 • 4 adults

  I organized an all girls fishing trip and we had a great time. There were three of us as one of our Anglerettes had a emergency. Captain Chris was great. He was very prepared and helpful. We started out by catching sand dabs for bait for ling cod. We moved to the fishing grounds and had nonstop action. We caught our limits of rockfish plus a few ling cods, and petrale sole. I will definitely book with Blue Knuckles Sportfishing the next time I fish out of Moss Landing.

  Awesome experience!

  5 Hour Trip – Rock Cod/Lingcod on July 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  What a great family experience for my husband’s 40th birthday! We caught a variety of rockfish and lots of it! Captain Chris was great. Super helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and patient with the kids. We were even able to see some dolphins and humpback whales as a bonus. Everything was great from start to finish and even beyond after taking home our catch and eating a fantastic fish dinner. Delicious. Would definitely recommend to others and we will hopefully return for another trip!

  Full of limit!

  5 Hour Salmon Trip **LIMITED** on June 14, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  We’ve been on many group fishing tours, but this was by far the most successful one! Our family of five caught full limit of 50 rockfish! Captain Chris is incredibly professional and knows exactly where and at what depth the fish are biting. The rods and lines were meticulously organized—absolutely no tangles or snags the entire trip. He also shared great tips on how to catch different species throughout the seasons. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!!!

  Amazing experience on the Monterrey Bay.

  5 Hour Trip – Rock Cod/Lingcod on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Amazing private charter experience in Monterrey Bay. Caught upwards of 70 fish including various species of rockfish, lingcod, mackeral, and whitefish. Also got to see a wide variety of wildlife including humpback whales, dolphins, sea lions, and harbor seals. Captain Chris was amazing both during the trip as well as being incredibly responsive and helpful with info leading up to the trip. Would highly recommend this trip.
