Went out for full day. Despite the day starting off slow, action picked up quickly and consistently for afternoon. 5 total bluefin hooked, unfortunately lost one to an aggressive Sea lion. Great time with Capt. Frank and John, they got us on the fish! We'll see you guys again.

We had a great time out with Captain Frank and George. Didn't catch much, but nobody else on radio did either so it was just a slow day. Frank was energetic and excited every time we had a shot at some fish, which made it fun even when we struck out. He went the extra mile, drove something like 90 nautical miles, and let us stay out an extra hour in search of a catch, which paid off when we did finally bring something in.Highlight of the trip was getting a hook on a marlin that one of our group members was able to reel in for a bit before it broke the line. Would 100% use Frank again next time we go fishing!

Captain Frank and the Ironclad grew gave us a tremendous experience. We did the overnight and caught bluefin tuna, bonita, and yellowtail. These guys know what they are doing. The deckhands were also both experienced and very helpful. I highly recommend the Ironclad.

Captain Frank and George were great at getting us on the fish and helping us out. It's definitely a good boat to charter a six-pack. Food, drinks,snacks, and we caught a lot of fish. Make sure you check these guys out.

Went out on a 12hr trip and had a blast! My experience was largely in fresh water fishing and Frank and Jorge were incredibly patient in teaching me the ropes. Looking forward to the next time I can get out there on the Ironclad!

Frank and his crew were great! We had an amazing day of fishing! We hit yellowtail like crazy. Frank and his crew were super helpful to our whole group including extra help to our kids. The food and snacks on board were plentiful and delicious. The boat was great and had everything we needed for our day trip. It was a 5-star experience.

I have been out with Ironclad Sportfishing three times now. All day trips, 1 to San Clemente, 1 off shore, and 1 Coronado Islands trip. Sometimes we hit, sometimes not but that’s fishing. Capt Frank knows how to find the fish, he doesn’t grind it out rather he actively hunts to find the action. The boat has plenty of space for everyone to fish off the stern if needed but also has ample space on the bow for throwing irons or fighting monsters. You can’t go wrong with this company, if you need a spot filled, hit me up. 😂🤷‍♂️

Went out with Frank on a 3/4 day and had a great time. Super knowledgeable and cool captain. Took us out to some good spots and got plenty of fish. Great value especially considering he had rods, bait, and made us breakfast and lunch. Will definitely be going out with him again soon. 11/10 would recommend. Awesome experience!
