Trip Summary
The specialty that is the Parker 3420 aka ‘the mothership’ and her crew is the main reason why we offer this trip. This boat is run by one of the best dynamic duos in the industry. You will be taken care the entire trip, you will laugh until your stomach hurts and you will yoke on big fish. It is sincerely a dreamy California 4-pack fishing charter experience.
We personally run these trips a couple of times a year simply to get out into the California offshore scene and pick-off a few good fish… we suggest that you do the same.
Trip Inquiry Process
