About Your Trip

Whether you're an experienced fisherman looking to step into a kayak, a kayaker who wants to catch some monsters, or a beginner who wants to try it all, this trip is for you! No matter what you've done in the past, nothing compares to the thrill of chasing gamefish from a sit-on-top kayak; you're literally inches off the water's surface, and you'll feel every tug and turn as a big Lingcod, Rockfish, or Bass takes the line.

These fish occupy the bottom of the water column, hanging out over rocks and structure where they can ambush prey. They also love kelp forests, so you'll target these areas looking for big hook-ups. To get bit, you'll bottomfish and jig on a variety of baits and lures. Let Michael be your guide—he's fished here for years and reliably puts his clients on trophy specimens!

The kayaks, rods, reels, and tackle and totally provided for you! All you need to bring is your California Fishing License, sun protection, and a good attitude! Get out there and bag some keepers.

First Time Booking with Us?

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
