My group of three had a blast with Captain Eric and the Deck Hand Josh for our full day offshore trip. We were greeted and ready to go by 5am. We filled up, got bait and was out in open water by 6am. The boat has a central restroom and two to three seats on the inside. Captain Eric will provide you with all the essential gear needed for your trip so don’t worry about taking your personal gear. Just bring lunch/ snacks, enough drinks and sunscreen. The Full Day Offshore Trip is perfect for a group up to four anglers. In the early morning we started to troll the waters while we were heading offshore but the morning bite was slow. Captain Eric knew that we were wanting to target some tuna but informed us that the morning bite has been slow in general and we decided to go to Santa Barbara Island to target other quality fish. If the initial bite is slow in the morning take any advice and suggestion that Captain Eric has so he can get biting on some other fish for the time being. The beautiful thing about EZ Sportfishing is the ability to get to a destination quickly. We had to of been the fastest boat out there. Once we arrived at the island we started to bottom fish/ fly lining and was hooking up on some awesome California Black and Red Sheepshead, BIG Calico Bass, Barracuda, Brown Rock Fish, Sculpin and Yellowtail. The bite was consistent and we were having a blast catching these fish. We were catching so much that we decided to do catch and release. In the afternoon Captain Eric and Josh wanted to head out to target Tuna. They both were scouting for foamers/ boils and shortly from our departure from the island we were on Bluefin Tuna and landed them on the deck. Even if we skunked out for the day we still would have been very happy customers just based off the exceptional and fun service onboard. Our entire trip was an A+ experience. Captain Eric and Josh provided us with excellent fishing and we were able to come home with the most fish my group and I have ever caught on a private charter. Exceptional service and we learned a ton from both Captain Eric and Josh about fishing technique. If you’re looking for a real fishing experience with a crew that will work it’s butt off trying to get your desired catch I would only recommend EZ Sportfishing.

If you like to fish and your looking for a private experience I highly recommend you book with EZ Sportfishing and request Eric as the captain.
The fishing season hasn’t been great but we caught Dorado, Bass, Barracuda and learned some new knots.
This boat also gives you more fishing experience because you get to your location way faster then other boats so you fish twice as much as other charters.

Had a great day on the water. 4 of us caught o er 50 fish with several different species.  Sprain and crew were very knowledgeable and kept us on fish the entire time. Would definitely recommend and will book again.

My boys and I had a great time out on the boat! My kids are nine and five years old and I would recommend a family style trip as the crew worked very well with them!

We had a great experience on the water with Captain Eric. My kids ages 3 and 7 had so much fun and caught all the fish they could handle. The boat was much larger than we expected and the kids loved the bean bag chairs provided while heading out and back in. Would definitely recommend and will be back for another day of fun!
