Amazing day at sea!

Full Day Trip – Ocean6 adults

We had an outstanding day fishing in the ocean with Captain John and crew. My group caught our limit on halibut and then went after some stripers. Ironically the largest fish I had ever caught up to that point was unremarkable and Captain John assured me we'd do better. Sure enough the first halibut In landed on this trip was an absolute monster, easily beating my previous fish by a wide margin. I highly recommend booking a charter with Captain John!

    A First Class Fishing Experience

    Full Day Trip – Ocean • 4 adults

    John is the captain you want for any fishing trip! He put us right on the fish, and we quickly limited out on rockfish with an incredible variety of species. What really set this trip apart was that he didn't stop there. While most captains might not combine rockfish and salmon on the same trip, John made it happen. He also took us to target lingcod, and we came incredibly close to landing three of them before finishing the day catching salmon. It was an action-packed day with nonstop opportunities. As an added bonus, we even got to watch whales during the trip, making an already amazing day on the water even more memorable. A big shoutout to the first mate, Travis, who was absolutely top-notch. He was constantly helping everyone, keeping lines in the water, sharing tips, and making sure the whole group had a great experience. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. Between John's knowledge and determination to put us on fish, Travis's hard work, and the unforgettable day we had, this was easily one of the best fishing charters I've been on. If you're looking for a captain who goes the extra mile and delivers an incredible experience, book with John. Wish we could come back sooner!

    Capt John and Ginger Buddy are my forever crew. literally will not hire another boat. I was catching sharks all day . I shortened the trip because the last cow shark I landed wore me out. Damn these guys are good. Ginger Buddy is so awesome I gave him my Costas. He freaking earned them

    Full Day Trip – Ocean • 3 adults

    Captin john and his deckhand where amazinf to spend nearly 11 hours on a boat out of the water with. One of us was seasick and the other got too drunk but captin john kept the entire trip incredibly fun and crazy productive, we caught a 25lbs flounder and an absolute metric ton of fish!!! I would absolutely recommend addictive spoet fishing to anyone looking for a fun and very good fishing experience with people who really know what they are doing!

    Don't hesitate to book this boat

    Half Day Trip – Bay • 5 adults

    One of the best boats I've booked in the bay area. Knowledgeable, safe, entertaining, and accommodating to your fishing needs. Captain John's experience is evident in his preparation, explanation, and guidance. We all had multiple opportunities to bring in fish from the minute we dropped anchor. I would encourage any family with kids or less experienced anglers to book from a guide like him for a more memorable trip. Thanks again to Capt John and Willy, we will definitely be in touch in the future.
