Fishing on the Impulse… Four words — Worst day fishing ever! Five friends and myself went out on the Impulse for what we hoped would be a unforgettable fishing trip. We were supposed to leave the dock at 6:30 am and we didn’t leave until almost 7:00 am. By the time we got bait and left the harbor it was close to 8:00 am and back at the dock by 3:45 pm. The captain stated he had concert to be at so couldn’t be late. We spent the day trolling Marlin lures much to large to catch dorado or tuna. We stopped on a total of 3 kelp patties and fished for a total of 25 minutes we pointed out multiple patties that the captain drove right by them. The deckhand and the captain were eating breakfast sandwiches and didn’t offer anything to us passengers. When I asked when we were going to eat the deckhand told me that the food was in the refrigerator and to make my own food. We ran out of beer food etc. To sum it up the trip was a $ 2000.00 boat ride and definitely unforgettable.

I mainly visit this joint while on my lunch from work. The deli has a good selection of ‘specialty’ sandwiches, or you can make your own. The price is fair for the size of the sandwich you get in return. I prefer to design my own, but if I had to pick I would go for the Yacht Club. Call ahead, especially in the summer, to avoid the lunch rush.

Great place to take skiffs out for fishing. However it totally runined my day when The girl at the front register had such a bad attitude never smiles and looked like she didn’t want to help us. The sandwiches and fishing gear assistance are great though!

Very convenient for last minute tackle, ice or other fishing/boating needs. They also have a sandwich shop inside that real good. I use to rent boats from these guys before I had my own and it’s an inexpensive and convenient way to enjoy the water and fish for a bit.

Great place to stop before launching or recovering your boat for snacks, drinks and last minute tackle. They have a great deli inside that makes some fantastic sandwiches. Their staff is friendly and knowledgable. Chuy, the shop dog, is always friendly and makes you feel welcome!
