Gabriel was a lot of fun and knew where the fish were. He was very forthcoming on the PV life of a professional guide and fisherman…I learned a lot. My fishing partner and I had a great time and we’re both ready to do a repeat…or even 3peat.
I have done many salmon fishing trips in California. I have to say this was the best saltwater fishing trip I’ve ever been on. Captain Nikolai did a great job. When a Dorado went under the motors, we got it unstuck. I was running the boat while he cleared the line, and I did not lose the fish. The trip started at 7 a.m. and by 8 we are on the fish. I caught three nice Dorados and 1 Skipjack.
My experience started well before boarding the boat. Every question i had was answered promptly. Upon arriving at the marina I was greeted by capitals of the boat. we imidiatly boarded discussed our fishing options and fue to high swell at the islands we decided to head to the southern point of the bay. Needless to say it wasnt wide open fishing but the hard work of the crew made sure we would have every opportunity to catch fish. we landed about 12 Mahi Mahi and 10 skip jack. we kept what we thought was enough about 7 Mahi and the skip jack was used for bait mostly. After affording ourself every opportunity at a trophy fish we decided we were satisfied with a great all around day of fishing. . Boat was great, the gear was very good, and the crew was outstanding. I would use this charter again in the future. Ofcoarse I was a little disappointed in not being able to land more species but that’s fishing.

Although we did not catch any fish, this trip was great. We came at a really bad time for fishing which is why we did not catch fish ( we went out on a charter two days prior with the same results). It was a mixture of a full moon and the water being too warm. Bad timing.
However, Nicholas was great captain. Very knowledgeable about not only the fishing in the area, but the history of the area as well. We have done many guided trips down here and he was one of my favorite captains. Great service and would recommend to anyone.

Thank you my friend! It was full moon of Friday 13th and bananas on board…..
We got there at a 7:00 Ty p go on a 4 hour trip. We left on time and the crew introduced themselves. Last thing the captain said all day. We trolled with lores for an hour. Nothing happened. They switched up the bait with live bait and trolled for another hour. We headed back yo shore and came upon a. School of yellow fin. The captain grabbed a pole cast into the school 4 times. Put the pole away and drove us home. First time I’ve ever been on a charter and never touched a fishing pole. My son litterslly slept for 3 hours. W we he en we got back other boats had fish many of them. We sadly did not. I understand you don’t catch something every time but little to no effort was made fo ya to face a fun time. I would pass on this charter.
