Tuna trips are usually a bang or a bust ... The plan was to fish the island for a couple hours then go offshore in time for the "bite time" during the tuna season . We hit the island for amazing bass and barracuda fishing loading up the sacks and the headed offshore. This was our biggest fish this year! I will say that this day was looking like a bust . After leaving the grounds I got word that the fish were right off the beach in Palos Verdes . I changed course and headed straight there , within 20 minutes of being in the zone our rod went off taking line like it wasn't stopping . After 30 minutes we hauled over a 200+ bluefin tuna . Now it might look smaller .. that's because I'm 6'5 haha. It was almost my height ! What a day , everyone was stoked and got to take home so much meat . Beautiful fish and thankful for what we got! We had a Great group with us that comes out a few times a season. He said they want something big ! We were scanning a zone that I saw good meter marks of yellowtail on the fish finder . Weith non stop chumming and bass boiling around the boat the yellowtail became interested . My client just started yelling as his deaf just went bonkers . After a solid 20 minute fight one of the biggest yellowtail I've ever seen at Catalina island hit the deck . For sure the largest we've caught on the boat . This Yellowtail weighed in at 38lbs bled ! We call these Mossbacks and Homegaurd yellowtail. What an amazing season it's been for big fish !

The Dodo was my second that day out of Buena Vista on the East Cape. The other was 26 kilos this guy was 32 kilos. Big day small boat. The Bluefin I caught, handlined and gaffed solo. It was in November off San Clemente on the kite Flyer rig. 5th blowup finally stuck. It was hot but the owner was happy and called it a day to celebrate Lee side of Catalina. I wanted to get a few more but the bite was off the next morning. Gotta hit while the iron is hot

    Fantastic guide. Couldn't recommend more. Took the time to show us the art of fly fishing and the South Fork of the King's River. You won't go wrong with Scott!

    Trip: Sequoia National Forest Fly Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Went out fishing with Capt Andrew and his first mate Ace. The boat was clean and everything was set up and ready for us to enjoy the day. Unfortunately our day turned out with not any fish, but Capt Andrew and Ace worked very hard trying to find fish and searching all over. Saw a lot of aquatic life on our trip and enjoy the day out in the Pacific Ocean, zero fish but a 10 rating on effort, a very enjoyable day. We will be back to get that big one.

    We had a great time on our trip with Captain Nathan’s crew! Noah was our skipper, and Nick was the deckhand. They were both helpful and engaging, and always there to lend a hand. Would definitely recommend for both beginner and experienced anglers!

    Bobby was our captain and he treated myself, my son and my grandson like we owned the boat. He was very professional and courteous and answered all our questions. He gave us choices which no other service has in the past. This was much appreciated and I plan on returning again.
