One of the most unique fisheries on the West Coast of the United States, San Diego Bay is a natural deep water bay that is home to hundreds of different fish species. We now also offer Fly Fishing, Inshore, and Coronado Island/Offshore trips during peak season (May-October)!
Sheltered from the offshore swells, San Diego Bay is a great place for anglers of all skill levels. From beginners and children to serious bass anglers, there is something for everyone in the Bay. It was recently voted the #1 easiest place to catch a fish in San Diego, and on most days the fishing is fast and furious! As many as 20-30 fish is not uncommon for a half day fishing, making this a great place for children or people who are new to the sport. With year round good weather and awesome views of Downtown San Diego, fishing San Diego Bay is a truly memorable experience!
We now also offer seasonal trips Inshore and to the Coronado Islands/Offshore. Inshore Trips are available March-November and target a variety of species along the local coast line. These trips are great for anglers who don’t get seasick and are looking to cook their catch. Calico Bass, Rockfish, Barracuda, Yellowtail, and Bonito are common fish to catch on these trips.
Coronado Island/Offshore trips will be available May-October and are recommended for experienced anglers. The Coronado Islands are a unique fishery located just over the Mexican Border. These trips require Passports and Mexican Fishing Permits (these will be handled by the captain and are included in the price of the trip). Coronado Islands trips give you the best chance at Yellowtail and Calico Bass and are worth it for the scenic beauty alone. Depending on the fishing conditions these trips can also be flexed to Offshore for Tuna, Dorado, and Yellowtail at the captains discretion.
