🎣 Ed’s Annual Father’s Day Trip Aboard the Pacific Dream 🎣

What an incredible day on the water with Ed and his group for their annual Father’s Day trip aboard the Pacific Dream!

The day started off a little slow, but nobody seemed to mind. The morale was high from the moment we left the dock because this trip wasn’t just about catching fish—it was about spending quality time with family and friends. We had three generations of fishermen and three generations of family aboard, making memories that will last a lifetime.

Fishing was tough early on, with only 8 fish on the deck before noon. But as the incoming tide began to build, so did the action! The afternoon turned into an absolute chaotic striped bass bite, with rods bent all around the boat.

By the end of the day, the group finished with:
🐟 25 limits of striped bass
🐟 Plus 4 crew fish
🐟 1 California halibut
🦈 1 big soupfin shark

Of course, no trip aboard the Pacific Dream would be complete without the amazing food from Stephanie. She kept everyone fueled up all day long with breakfast sandwiches, pastries, snacks, and hot coffee. Then came the burger that earned its own reputation among the passengers—the legendary “Sleepy Burger.” It was so big and so delicious that some of the guys claimed it was putting people to sleep after lunch!

Thank you, Ed, and everyone who joined us for another memorable Father’s Day trip. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to fishing with you again next year!

If you’d like to book a trip for yourself, your family, a group of friends, or even a company outing, we’d love to have you aboard.
