Captain Corbin Hanson started fishing with his cousin in Alaska during the summer salmon season, and got hooked on the thrill. He then filled in the winters fishing squid and coastal pelagics in Southern California. When not out on the water, Corbin enjoys the time he has with his wife and kids, and being part of the historic tradition and important community fabric of fishing families in San Pedro. Corbin runs the Cape Blanco out of San Pedro year-round, primarily fishing tuna in the summer and squid in the winter, with other species like sardine, mackerel, and bonito targeted when available. 

Captain Nick Jurlin started fishing with his father and grandfather as a boy in Alaska and Washington. You could say he has salt in his veins. Nick is statesman of the fishing industry, teaching young guys like Corbin the ropes. Corbin was a deckhand on Nick’s boat, then became a captain himself, and eventually Nick’s son-in-law. He has a long, successful career as a captain and boat owner and is now the owner/ operator of the Eileen out of San Pedro. Nick is also a representative on the Pacific Fisheries Management Council, helping inform the fisheries management we need to balance resource sustainability with a healthy industry that brings you the best local seafood.
