First off its called fishing and not catching .ย the day before (the owner and person i booked with) Pablo called He stated the fish were 62 miles away. and wanted me to double what I was paying. The evening before I received a call from Noah (who ended up being captain) telling me I needed to pay more money as well.ย while we were attempting to locate fish the Captain mentioned that Pablo (the owner) told him he was under strict boundaries and couldnโt go any farther.ย Also the day before the trip after we had already arrived in California they asked for our passports so we could go fish โthe islandsโ that were in Mexican waters. This is the first we heard of it, and we booked months in advance. that would of been nice to know.ย Plus the water was colder than ideal.ย All this adds up to day of not catching anything.ย Seemed to us that Pablo was upset that we didnโt double the price we were willing to pay and greatly restricted the area we could fish in.ย BTW we still rode around in the bout all day and went just as many miles as we would have.ย I think Captain Noah is a very knowledgeable captain but with the restrictions placed on him we were unable to even see anything.

Note* photo above on 12 hour offshore trip! Thanks for the review. Time was the enemy. Sorry, you had a bad experience. You definitely did not go the distance you would on a full day offshore trip. You went as far as you can go on an 8 hour and Noah even pushed it further! Water temp is out of my hands. Bringing a passport to fish in San Diego is always a good idea but only required for Coronado Islands Trip. You only need Mexican Fishing license to be offshore. I should have mentioned that you should bring them. Myself or any Captain that works with me donโt run with any strict boundaries. We go as far as necessary on every offshore trip with the time allotted. Weโve been catching BFT 70 plus miles down as recently as 06-07-2024 and YT at the Islands regularly. The season is just starting. Hope you get back out there and have a better day! Take care and call me anytime to discuss!

Greg, Thank You, for taking the time to do a review. It was great to have you two aboard and I look forward to having you back out! You and your Grandson had a great attitude and were definitely a pleasure! Take care, Captain Pablo
Thanks for the review! Take care! La Jolla has been great everyday!
Captain Zeke is a hero. A great young captain making all the right decisions for an incredibly productive fishing day. The broker, however, not so much. We paid top dollar for a day trip and felt short-changed.
Here is what you texted me? โIt was an excellent fishing day.ย Zeke is a rockstar. The 26โ Blackman was a tough go for us. Thanks, Rogerโ first off, itโs a 31โ Blackman and that is Zekeโs preferred boat to take offshore. Secondly, you caught 13 Yellowtail offshore on paddies while everyone else was struggling at Coronados getting just a few if any. Lastly, there was no bait and switch. There was a misunderstanding between us regarding a โtrophy tripโ which I only offer custom packages and not available on my website or Fishing Booker. Sorry that skiff fishing isnโt your thing and we appreciate your business. Next time you can request the bigger boat or feel free to book elsewhere! Thank, for the feedback and taking the time with your review! Take care!

Thank you for the review! The family you booked with me that I took in the morning had an excellent time and were catching fish all day long until they were tired! I then took them to feed fish at the barefoot bar before dropping them off at the dock. I understand your trip on the other boat was harsh as conditions werenโt the best offshore and there were some vessel issues that set you back an hour. I recall my deckhand and I catching 20 fish and giving them to you so you didnโt go home empty handed. Thank you and take care!
