     Captain John “JT” Lepien has been fishing since he was a teenager and has been fishing locally in the Channel Islands for decades! The most rewarding part of running fishing charters is seeing that moment when someone catches one of their very first fish! I see the joy and excitement on their face, and it allows me to reminiscence the moment when I caught my first fish. You can’t put a price on that experience, and I truly love sharing my passion with others

    Itinerary

    You’ll experience a private sportfishing charter in the beautiful inner and outer coastal Channel Islands! In these waters, you’re guaranteed to catch fish year-round! 

    I’ll bring you into my sportfishing world and teach you about the region’s fish and how to read the birds to find the best spots. Then, we’ll either have me bait your hook and cast your lines or you will bait your own lines out to target Yellowtail (this isn’t tuna, it’s part of the Jack species ) White Sea Bass, Bonito (island tuna), Halibut, various tasty Rockfishes, California Scorpionfish, and California Sheephead to name a few. 

    I’ll share strategies and techniques that will be helpful to beginners and seasoned fisherman alike. Along the way we’ll likely see playful dolphins, California sea lions, and sometimes migratory whales.

    I’ll fillet and bag the fish you catch for a nice meal to take home and enjoy while you relive the memories from our excursion
