Meet Your Captain

Justin brings almost two decades of halibut fishing expertise to his charter fishing business. His work in the fishing industry began 12 years ago in Alaska, where he honed his skills as a fish processor at a local lodge before swiftly transitioning to commercial fishing, specializing in crab, salmon, rockfish, and lingcod. Over the next seven years, Justin became a seasoned captain, navigating Alaska's waters and leading successful charter trips targeting halibut, salmon, and rockfish.

Returning to California's Central Coast reignited Justin's passion for halibut fishing, motivating him to share his love for the sport with others. Justin founded his charter fishing business, offering both novice and experienced anglers the chance to explore the rich fishery of the Central Coast. With a lifelong dedication to the art of halibut fishing, Justin's expertise, passion, and commitment to providing unforgettable experiences on the water are at the heart of his mission.

The Boat

Justin charters out of a 22 foot Ranger Bahia powered with a 200hp Mercury engine. It also has a trolling motor that is used when drifting live bait. This equates to a quiet experience while drifting. His boat provides an open front deck with an ability to walk around completely. The boat has many seating options to provide comfort for everyone. Included on the boat has a large livewell in the back that keeps plenty of live bait onboard. The larger tank in the front is filled with ice where once a fish is brought on board is bled and iced down to preserve meat quality. This system also keeps the boat cleaner and less blood.
