As a longtime commercial fisherman from Santa Cruz, I stay tapped in to the daily movements of the fish I target. When I don’t have a trip booked, I’m not doing something else and losing the pulse of the fishery…I’m fishing every day. So when you come aboard Tied and True, you know I am armed with the latest knowledge not only from my own fishing, but the network of fellow fishermen I stay in contact with.

So whether it’s feeding patterns based on tides, location of schools of bait, or certain water conditions that have been holding fish…all of those things change day to day. Having a guide that was fishing the day before…sometimes less than 12 hours before you embark on your trip, that’s an edge, that’s an advantage.
