Ratings & Reviews Summary

My Father's Day gift from my wife led to an amazing fishing journey. Accompanied by my son, son-in-law, and grandson, we set out with Captain Eric on the Rising Tide. Right from the start, Eric guided us to abundant fishing spots. For three thrilling hours, the action was non-stop – reeling in Halibut, Corbina, White Sea Bass, Spotted Sand Bass, Calico Bass, Mackerel, and even a sizeable Shovelhead Shark. Captain Eric's expertise and warm personality made this experience unforgettable. If you're seeking a day filled with continuous fishing fun under the guidance of a knowledgeable and friendly captain, I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to everyone.

Captain Eric guided my father and me on a delightful 6-hour bay excursion. The weather was perfect, and the fishing action ignited after the first hour. Exploring 5 to 6 distinct locations, we found success with the superb flies he supplied. Our catch was bountiful, all thanks to the impeccable combination of sinking line and a 7 wt rod complemented by a 12 lb tip.
