Still kind of rough (windy) out but caught some decent fish today. Amberjacks, red snapper, seabass and let a huge sandbar shark go. Soon the weather will be perfect for all kinds of anglers.

The Spanish mackerel bite is picking up everyday with the Atlantic bonita starting to show up! The Atlantic bonita bite should only get better in the next few weeks. These fish are very tasty…

Weather's been fair and when we can get out the sea bass fishing has been outstanding. Limit out in an hour. All bigger than average fish.

Fishing has been great when you can get out. Have been out twice this month and filled the boat cooler with plenty of huge seabass, porgy and trigger fish.

Still on the grind for white sturgeon on the Sacramento River! With high river flows more sturgeon are showing up every day! I suspect February and March are going to be 'Off the hook!

Great time in perfect weather ! Caught a lot and learned a lot from Jason. If you have never been fishing off the coast call him. He’s patient, knowledgeable and fun to be around. If you have fished off the coast some but want to go out deep sea fishing call Jason. He’s can make that happen too. That’s who I’m going to call for my next trip.

Captain Drew took us out on a fantastic half day inshore trip. I took my son (9 y/o) and one of my buddies from college. His boat was super clean and well equipped for our charter. He had all the tackle we needed for successful time on the water. This guy knows how to fish: within 10 minutes of getting to our first spot, we already had a fish on the line: an over slot red drum. The second drum was a keeper and Drew kindly fileted it for us afterward (red drum grilled on the half shell is now one of my favorites). We moved to a few different spots throughout the morning and all together we caught about 9 fish. We let all but one go. Captain Drew really knows these waters and he was able to cater to more novice anglers and kids (my son and i) as well as more experienced anglers (my buddy) on the same trip. If i make it back to the carolina coast again, I would absolutely book Captain Drew

Had a great day fishing with Captain. Cord caught a few Spanish mackerels and even real in a good size barracuda. Cord was very flexible with us rescheduling since it rained on our original day.

My son, my friends and their kids all had an awesome time with Captain Ryan and his first mate Beau. Every part of the experience was enjoyable, from scheduling and communicating all the way through, walking away with some giant bags full of nicely filleted Spanish mackerel. Captain Ryan is an expert in these waters, knows exactly how to efficiently navigate them and put you in the position to catch a bunch of fish while having a great time. He and Beau work together seamlessly. Beau was expertly handling the three lines we had in the water, was extremely patient with the kids who were eager to be very hands-on, and tremendously efficient in removing the fish from the lines and getting them back in the water quickly. We walked out with 14 keepers, but had many more on the line throughout the day, which made it extremely engaging and exciting. The boat was super clean, easily access and equipped with anything we needed. In total, A+ experience and we will definitely be booking with him again next time we are in townz

Michael was awesome. We had to cut the trip short due to my son and I being extremly seasick but the husband and brothers were still able to catch a few fish including a barracuda. Michael was very understanding and accommodating the entire time...no complaints.
