Fishing has been good with shrimp and cut bait for reds. You can run into a bunch of sheep head right now too at the jetties and under the docks, when it's not blowing 30+ it's been good!

    Marc and Brandi were a great team. We got on the fish quick and had a limit of trout by 10. The boat is in excellent condition and had plenty of space for the three of us to fish. They had multiple rigs set up to use as the conditions changed. I would book again without hesitation.

    Great experience! It was my girlfriend‘s first time deep sea fishing and couldn’t have asked for a better crew to guide her and show her how it’s done. Definitely looking forward to doing this again with Todd and his crew. Highly recommend!
