When you fish with Captain Andrew, you can expect a safe, enjoyable, and highly professional outing. Guests often praise his clear communication and helpful advice about trip details, including scheduling, target species, and weather conditions. One memorable trip involved rescheduling to November, which turned out to be fantastic for Bonito fishing—nearly every cast resulted in a bite, making for an exciting half-day adventure.
Another experience with Captain Andrew and his first mate Ace highlighted their dedication and hard work. Despite not catching any fish that day, the boat was impeccably maintained and fully prepared for a great day on the Pacific Ocean. Their relentless efforts to locate fish were commendable, and guests still enjoyed witnessing abundant marine life. Though the catch was elusive, the fun and professional atmosphere earned top marks, and many look forward to returning to reel in that big one soon.

From the shallow inshore bays to the deeper waters just offshore, Huntington Beach, CA offers a diverse fishing experience. Southern California’s rich fishery, fueled by cold Pacific currents, presents the perfect opportunity to join Captain Andrew for an unforgettable fishing adventure.
This full-day pelagic sportfishing excursion is designed for those seeking an exhilarating challenge. You'll venture far offshore in search of some of the Pacific’s toughest and fastest species, such as Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Pacific Barracuda, and White Seabass. These fish are not only strong fighters but also delicious, whether served as fresh sashimi or grilled to perfection. To land these prized catches, you’ll employ a mix of trolling and drift-fishing techniques—stay alert, because when the rod tip bends, it’s time to bring your best effort!
Given the variety of species targeted, you’ll switch between multiple fishing methods. This might include trolling at speed for Barracuda and Mahi Mahi, which favor lively baits and lures, bottom fishing near underwater structures for Rockfish and Amberjack, or casting lines for surface-feeding Bluefin Tuna. Captain Andrew customizes the trip based on the season, weather, and your preferences to maximize your chances of success.
All necessary gear and equipment are provided, so come prepared with appropriate clothing, sun protection, a cooler stocked with snacks and drinks, and your California Fishing License. Since the trip extends into Mexican waters, don’t forget your passport. Get ready for an exciting day on the water!
Your vessel for the journey is Andrew’s 28-foot Boston Whaler center console, powered by twin Yamaha engines delivering a combined 500 horsepower.
