5hr trips, windy weather still made a great day on the water. Water temp is getting more consistent as we dive into beginning of EL Niño. Starting to look for pelagic species.

Weather is starting to warm up. Time to take a look at the surrounding areas for pelagics. Next month should be on fire 🔥

We've been doing good on the bottom fishing. As our bait situation gets better we will start to poke around for some game fish halibut and yellowtail. Our last outting amounted to limiting out on reds and almost lings. But it was a multi species day with catches that doesn't come up often. Cabezon, Sheephead, Treefish, and Olive rockfish to name a few.

    We had a great time and captain JT put us on fish all day. From the moment we put our rod in the water we were bringing in the fish. He explains everything to us and worked with us on the boat. It was the best experience I could have hoped for and one that me and my some will never forget. I will definitely be booking another trip with captain JT.

    JT knows the spots! Super good guy. He takes the time to make sure you understand and learn while also limiting out! If you want an active day of catching and not just fishing, JT is the guy to book with

    We absolutely loved our fishing charter with JT. Had 2 of my grandsons age 4 & 11 with as well as my son. It was their first time and they are already asking to do it again. We got several different types of fish and they tasted amazing. If you are looking for a great charter with a fantastic guide, book with JT!

    My 15 yo son and I had a successful day with Capt TJ. Caught a lot of fish and learned alot on his boat. We are beginning ocean fisherman and he let us get into a groove where it more than met our expectations. Much fun and good memories.

    We had an amazing time with Captain Harry! Our kids (ages 9 and 6) loved the experience and want to do it again. Very family friendly. Good communication. Will remember this trip forever. Highly recommended.

    Three words only. White Sea bass. Giant freaking fish. JT is dope. I’ll be back. I highly recommend! lol seriously though, JT is a great captain and a great guy. He had us on the fish immediately, in February! We caught lots of fish and even landed a 64.6 pound White Sea bass!! Can’t wait to book with him again in August!

    We had a blast on the water with Corbyn. Post frontal conditions and rising muddy water made conditions tough and he kept us on the fish. My son caught his personal best and then 30 minutes and 100 yards later beat it again. We will definitely be back for another trip and can’t recommend them enough for the beginner or seasoned angler.

    World Class 5 Star Experience! The guide was considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable! The pastrami sandwich was delicious and high quality! It was a fun and successful fishing trip with lots of sunshine. The lake was beautiful.
