Well the Kings Canyon in the Sequoia National Forest is now closed for the season! It was a great year in there and looking forward to seeing it again next April. If you want to book a trip for next season let me now so we can get some dates...

Hi David, right now we are fishing for our late fall king salmon on the Sacramento River, this isn't a limit out fishery but a great chance at high quality fish. We're getting 1-3 fish per day anywhere from 10-35 lbs

Reported: 3 years ago

Fishing continues to be hot for Darado, Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna in full Day and overnight range. It's coming in waves as the warm water pockets move up from the storms off Cabo. When the wind lays down for a day or more we should have some really solid counts...

★★★★★
Had a great experience booking with Andrew. He was always so communicative and helpful about how the trip was looking and what options we had regarding timing, what to fish, and if the day would be good or not. We had just to reschedule from our original day but it all worked out great. Ended up going in November and crushed Bonito for a half day. Nearly every time we put lines in the water we got a bite on at least one of them. Really great trip had a time!

We had a great time fishing. The boat was amazing and the captain and his mate lots of fun and made our entire trip enjoyable. I strongly recommend using this charter service. They kept us in the loop from the moment we made our reservation.

Great time, great fishing. Ezekiel was great, knew exactly what to and where to fish. We did “Not just go on a boat ride.” We caught a Yellow tail. Which was the icing on the cake.
