professional, and hard working. After finding a captain I discovered what fishing and running my own boat was supposed to be like. My fishing career quickly went from hard work, some disappointment and exhaustion to Fishing Trips of a Life Time!

Captain Ethan's knowledge of the local fishery in San Diego is unparalleled. From the moment we set sail, he had us on the best spots, and we were reeling in Bluefin Tuna and Mahi Mahi in no time.
