Captains Choice

Albacore, Bluefin and Bigeye

Captains Choice

Many anglers prefer a "Captain's Choice" charter boat trip, as these fishing charters are operated by captains who are very "in tune" with current fishing, ocean, and weather conditions. On these trips, anglers can target various species such as rock cod, ling cod, halibut, flounder, and striped bass. It is not uncommon for charter boat anglers to come home with a mixed bag of fish, making these excursions just as exciting as harbor cruises and whale watching tours.
