We had a tough day of fishing but I dont believe it should reflect poorly on the captain, rist mate or equipment.  We fished march 21st and didnt hook anything for 6 hours of trolling.  Three decent hits and nothing stuck.  Not sure if I can recommend deep sea fishing this time of year out of san pedro?  Captain and first mate were experienced and good fishermen with good gear and good bait.  I am not sure that they could have done much more.  They covered lots of ground looking for fish.  No birds, no weed lines - no fish.  Just a bad luck day fishing. (Bring your own provisions for food or drinks if you are fussy) 
The captain wasn’t happy with the days fishing and spent extra time on the water bottom fishing just so that we could go home with some fish for a family dinner which was great.  The captain and crew were knowledgeable and shared information when asked and kept in good spirits despite the poor fishing.  I would highly recommend using this charter service during a better fishing window.  Nothing the captain can control.
