Captains Eric and Randy are praised for their deep knowledge of these waters and their patience with guests of all skill levels. Their half-day and full-day trips provide an intimate experience, where catching fish is paired with spotting dolphins, sea lions, and even occasional sightings of rare sunfish and endangered birds.
