Capt John and crew are absolutely committed to catching fish, first time or advanced fisherman. we had a wonderful time... thanks

We had a great trip with Captain John and crew. We limited out on halibut and one extra lucky guy, landed a real nice striper! John and his crewmen kept us on the fish and were great at keeping us fishing and meeting our needs. My 85 year old father even had a great time and was pleased with the whole experience. Kudos to Barbarian Sportfishing, well done!

These guys know fish and their experience really shows. Look through their previous trips then look at other charters. No one brings them in more consistently and there is a reason. I'm a guide myself for spearfishing and abalone diving and from a professional stand point, John and Shawn are top tier guides. It's not just the hours you'll be on the water with them but the months before your trip that they spend setting you up for success. Catching their own bait, hunting the water to know when the fish will be where under what conditions. All things that any guide should do but Barbarian Sportfishing is on another level and it shows.
