I agree with KellDawg. Go to San Diego or only go to Morro Bay when the hogs show up and don't talk to the crew! Disturbing to hear that a crew member was trying to sell fish.

I didn't even get there last year. On two occasions when the big fish were around, I placed reservations with a credit card. Knowing the bite was hot, I called back each time to confirm my reservations and guess what - no record of my name or cc#

Anyway, I've ridden out of Avila and they treat the passenger pretty good and had a good boat and crew.
