 I've had some good trips on the Premier, but it was a long time ago. If you want to ride with a d!ck, fish the New Seaforth.

I've not had a good trip on the Premier the last time I was on a half day boat, but I would get on the Premier over the New Sead!ck any day.  The premier is a great fishing platform and I just might have been on the boat on the wrong day.  You could always look at counts and try to figure out what they are catching and choose from there.

Dolphin out of Fishermans... used to hate this boat, crew, and captain when it ran out of Islandia. Since their move to Fishermans I gave them a try they have earned back my business. Big boat great platform. Crew is cool.

Daily Double out of Pt Loma... Been years since I set foot on her. But never had a bad trip. Smaller boat lower to the water. Captain Fred is legit very good with rookie anglers.

Premier out of H&M... Big boat low to the water. Wide walkaround space. Haven't fished it enough to form a solid opinion but I have fished a few trips with one of the captains, Kevin. He always ran a good trip.

New Seaforth out of Seaforth... Sister boat to the Dolphin same layout but bigger bait tank. Been a few years since I rode on it so can't say how it is now. But definitely had fun trips when RJ was at the helm.

Chubasco II out of Sportsmans... Cool crew. Smaller boat. Best burger hands down. Different captain everytime I've been on her but all of them get a thumbs up.

Watch the counts. My go to out of the big bay is the Dolphin. And Chubasco II out of MB.

You always have the best intel on the local boats, Len.

I 2nd the Premier. The NSF has fallen off a bit in the customer service dept. I've seen that first hand too. It was sad to watch...

The Chubasco II get's my vote.
