Hailing from Hawaii, Captain Sam infuses every fishing adventure with enthusiasm and passion. Don’t be deceived by his youthful appearance—after many years of experience on San Diego sport fishing boats, Captain Sam possesses the expertise and dedication needed to help anglers catch their target fish. If landing a California Bluefin is on your bucket list, a voyage with Captain Sam is an opportunity not to be missed! An amazing outing indeed, Captain Sam and his first mate Noah were incredibly supportive throughout the trip. We found ourselves amidst a school of bluefin just minutes after dropping anchor, and everyone caught their daily limit! They took care of cleaning and bagging our catch, and we captured some fantastic photos. It was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend fishing with Captain Sam.
