Half Day Trip — Inshore

This was an amazing trip! We couldn’t have asked for a better 1st time experience! Captain Joe and Deck Hand Jimmy really took care of us; continuing to take us to the best locations, giving us the best chance to catch multiple fish. Our group had some with fishing experience and some brand new fishers and they both made sure everyone caught something! Thank you guys so much! We would love to go with them again for our future trips!

We started bottom fishing and it was fast and furious. There were numerous doubles with large bottom fish and the crew even had to return safely two large yellow eye rockfish that are on the no keep list. captain Joe and mate Jimmy kept us on fish for the entire morning and we final had to cry uncle. Time was still left so we tried for a tuna hook up to no availe. great day on the water. i would go with these guys again in a heart beat.

JIM, thanks for taking the time and writing such a great review. Great job on all those fish. The rock fish were very aggressive on your trip and it’s good to see you. Quite quality and quantity. Thanks again for everything. Take care. Talk soon.

This trip was everything and more than I had hoped for. Captain Joe was amazing and so skilled. We caught 9 different species of fish!! 31 fish in less than 3 hours. Everyone caught several fish and it was so much fun and interesting. It was the perfect way for grandpa to take his grandkids on a fishing trip they will remember for years. Thank you Captain Joe!!!!

The captain was very attentive and enthused about fishing! We had hoped to catch something bigger, but 25 whitefish, a sheep head fish and a huge rock fish was enough. The captain did attempt to catch some other kinds far off, but did not have success. He cleaned our fish for us and sent us home with a bounty!
