I had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Mason and couldn’t be more impressed. Right from the start, it was clear he knows his stuff—both as a fisherman and as a guide. He has deep knowledge of the area and took us to all the right spots. Whether you’re experienced or new to fishing, he’s incredibly patient and takes the time to walk you through everything. His passion for the sport is infectious and really made the day fun. The equipment was excellent, and safety and comfort were clearly a priority throughout the trip. We caught plenty of fish, and Captain Mason gave helpful tips that made a real difference. He even made sure to get great photos of us with our catches! Overall, it was a fantastic day on the water. If you want a captain who’s skilled, professional, and truly enjoys what he does, Captain Mason is the one to go with. I’m definitely planning to go again soon!

Captain Mason and his crew were fantastic from start to finish. Although we had limited time for a bachelor party fishing trip and unfortunately went during an off-season, they did everything possible to get us on fish. Despite the challenging conditions, their professionalism, friendliness, and expertise stood out. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing experience.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Mason and his crew, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment we boarded the Bay Hunter, their professionalism and expertise were evident. Despite challenging conditions, they worked tirelessly to ensure we had a successful and enjoyable trip. We caught our limit of Rockfish within a couple of hours, and also managed to catch numerous spots for bait and take-home. The equipment was top-notch, and the crew was friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be booking another trip with Captain Mason in the future!

I booked a trip with Captain Mason in June 2024, and from start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Although Mason is one of the youngest captains I've encountered, he handled himself with the professionalism and skill of a seasoned veteran. He was accommodating and laid-back, making the trip enjoyable for everyone. While we didn't catch our limit, it was due to the fish not cooperating that day, not any fault of the crew. The Bay Hunter II was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable environment for fishing. Mason and his crew did everything they could to ensure we had a successful trip. I highly recommend Captain Mason and the Bay Hunter for anyone seeking a memorable fishing experience. You won't be disappointed and will create lasting memories. I'm already looking forward to our next trip!
