Captain Dan was wonderful with our family. We took our 5 year old along and Dan was kind and patient with him. He was a great teacher and we were very successful in catching five different types of fish. The boat was perfect for our family. Captain Dan was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. He helped our son reel fish in while giving my husband and I tips along the way. My husband and both agreed it was one of the best experiences of our lives!

When we go back to San Diego again, we will certainly book fishing time with Captain Dan.

We had a great time aboard the Slot Machine with Captain Dan.
We trolled a bit looking for tuna, and didn’t have much luck.
We never sighted a school of tuna, so we had no reason to break out the kite. However Captain Dan was prepared for the occasion with kites, flyers, and helium aboard.
We did land on a kelp patty that was holding a school of Mahi and went to town.
Captain Dan did a great job keeping up with the gaff as we reeled in fish.
Captain Dan filleted our catch for us leaving us minimal work for us to get our catch home.
We may not have hit the Tuna Jackpot, but the Slot Machine did not disappoint.
So, If your looking for a great time out on the waters of San Diego, the Slot Machine is your boat!

My son and I visited San Diego with the intent to fish and take a charter on the ocean.  We chose sd slot machine fishing charter and had Captain Dan Boney. The communication prior to the trip was great and he very accommodating on letting us use our own gear or he could supply it all.  We used his rods and tackle and it worked very well.  He got us into some fish a few times and when the fishing slowed we tried a different spot.  He was very knowledgeable of the area as he grew up there. He was very patient with us as we broke a few lines and learned some new styles of fishing.  The trip was great and my son and I had a great time. It is exactly what we wanted and was reasonably priced and well worth every penny.  We will definitely consider another trip with him in the furutre.

My 9 year old son and I had the privilege of fishing with Captain Dan.  It was my son’s first fishing trip (and like my third).  I’ll never forget my son’s smiles from today!  Captain Dan was patient, extremely competent, and super cool.  All equipment and bait were ready to go.  Learned a lot.  We had a blast!!! Highly highly recommend!!!!

I took this trip with my wife and 2 sons. Everything about this trip was awesome. Captain Daniel Boney Took us to a private reef to fish. For most of our trip there was not another boat in site. We caught roughly 20 fish during the trip 14 of which were big enough to take home. Daniel constantly moved the boat whenever we stopped getting bits so that we were always on the fish. He had all of our catch fillet and bagged for us before we returned to port. We would definitely book this trip again.
