Captain Justin and deckhand Joe were top notch in their experience of the fishing grounds and most importantly in their knowledge of fishing technique. We were into Halibut in the first 15 minutes and continued to have luck pretty much throughout the day. We even ended with a lightning fast 7 butts in 15 minutes without missing one. Do yourself a favor and book these guys fast. I know I’ll be back. Thanks Justin and Joe. Hammerdown Fishing!

I purchased this trip for my dad for Father’s Day and Capt. Justin is beyond amazing! He made sure we had all the proper instructions before the trip, and directions were easy to follow. He also included his phone number and was quick to answer any questions. My dad said this was a bucket list trip and he had a FANTASTIC time. The care and attention he received and the absolute professionalism of Capt. Justin was impeccable! My dad is still raving about his trip and wants to do it again with more friends. Worth every penny! Such a kind and knowledgeable crew! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I HIGHLY recommended this boat. The captain and deckhand were rock stars. Hands down one of the best days of fishing I’ve ever had and definitely the best boats I’ve ever chartered. Captain Justin was funny, knowledgeable, and a really good guy to go fishing with. The deck hand he has working on the boat Joe is one of the best fisherman in the bay. It’s one thing if they took us to a known honey hole but they took us to a spot to keep us out of the wind. They didn’t know if it would yield any halibut. From the beginning of setting out lines we started catching fish. We must have cought 50+ fish that day and had 3 different moments where we had 3 or more fish on at the same time .The most impressive part was Joe’s ability to keep us moving around each other so we didn’t get tangled together. We were very lucky and limited out on halibut and one shy of a limit of strip bass by 1:30pm. I’m not going to say you will do as good as us because our fishing trip was epic. The fact that we did so good this early in the season attests to the skill of justin and joe. I cant promise you will catch fish I can guarantee that Justin and Joe will put you right on top of fish with the best bait available. 100% will be booking all my Bay area fishing trips with Justin.

This was my very first time getting on a charter boat in the Bay Area, so I didn’t know what to expect. Despite one heck of a day almost feeling sea-sick (I didn’t know how rocky the ocean would be, which was my big mistake. I highly recommend that people prepare themselves for motion-sickness if you are prone to getting sick on a boat, and take some meds the night before…), I had an absolute blast catching my first haul of Rockfish and Dungeness crabs. I am fully hooked now, and I’ll be back again!

Thank you Capt. Justin and his crew for a fantastic time!
