The fishing in San Diego has been a mixed bag of fun fish.  Our anglers have had the opportunity at multiple species each day including Halibut, Calicos, Sand Bass, Rockfish, Whitefish and more!  This is what makes San Diego so exciting and with the right captain and crew your chances are worth betting on!

As we enter the middle of February, the temperatures have been hitting highs of 70 degrees on some days.  Looking back at my logs and studying trends such as tides, currents, moon phases and weather conditions, we are able maximize every minute you are on a trip with us.  It is our priority to be efficient while putting you on a fun, safe and educational fishing trip here in San Diego.  Remember we cater to all ages and experience levels including young children.  See our kid-friendly fishing trips.

If you know the dates you are looking to fish with us, please give me a call as we are booking up fast.  The spring season is right around the corner and some of the best fishing of the year.  You can also BOOK ONLINE.
