I Grew up in Newport Beach. I attribute my connection to the ocean, to my Father Mario Fernandez. He introduced me to it at a very young age. I have enjoyed fishing for as long as I can remember. Fishing Southern California is a Blessing that I enjoy year round. I run my own charter out of Mission Bay (Fernandez Charters). I also run Ironclad Sportfishing (In memory of Frank Pitetti). I’m a certified USCG 100 Ton Master. Let’s fish!

We got a few skip jack. What's really nice quality guys. And other than that, then we started running back home towards, you know, through 1811 a 2 area cut back across the 178. Didn't see a whole lot of action there. But it was all in all a great day had a great group out with us today. Kayden and I just had a blast with these guys and they were just having a such a good time. Fishing. Lot of tim was 1st, a lot of them were 1st time off shore fishing, so it was really good.
