Captain Sean was professional and experienced overall. Great knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend

September 16, 2025

It was definitely a great trip. Captain Sean kept on bringing us to great fishing spots so we can optimize our rate of success. We got a lot of halibuts sizing as big as 33”, more than we can handle. It was really a fun and exiting day. Both Captain Sean and Candy are fun to talk to. Thank you Captain. We will be back.
