We got a bit of a late start because of something left behind at the dock but the captain made up the time at the other end. The captain and deck hand were terrific — very attentive. We caught a few smaller rockfish in the morning, then tried unsuccessfully for bass, then went back to bottom fishing in the afternoon and they found us a sweet spot where we caught numerous rockfish, a couple of sand dabs and two Ling Cod. Best day of deep sea fishing I’ve had and Pat worked hard filleting them all.

We had a “great’ day fishing with Captain Herman and First Mate Paul.  We caught fish all day.  There were 4 of us and we took home 60 fish.  We caught over 100, but some were too small too keep.  We fished locally, off shore of Long Beach and San Pedro.  We caught Rockfish, Sculpin, Red Fish, White Fish, Sheepshead, Sand Dabs and a couple of other varieties I never heard of before.  My wife and I ate a White Fish and a Red Fish for dinner last night.  We couldn’t decide which one tasted better.  We are going to have a huge fish fry and invite all the kids and grand kids.  We plan on making this an annual event.  We had a blast and have so many wonderful memories.  We give Captain Herman and Paul AAAAA Rating.

This was truly a great trip. First, the crew was amazing. Captain Hermon kept us on fish all day. Mike, the deckhand, was fun, funny, and very attentive to our trip needs. When my two grandsons hooked into 30+ pound tunas, the crew walked two young and inexperienced fishermen through landing the biggest fish they had caught. Our family had a great trip and there is already people ready to book another MarDiosa charter. Thank you Captain Hermon for an unforgettable day and memories of a lifetime.

Too many pictures to post so chose the biggest yellow we landed that day. It was a slow day but the captain made the right calls and put us in position to capitalize on some huge yellows. Flew out from Texas and had a blast on the Mardiosa. Would highly recommend booking with Captain Dorado.
