our MOST POPULAR trip
This adventure is perfect for a group of friends, families with kids, and couples looking for an incredible fishing experience. Whether you are a beginner at fishing or a seasoned angler, you will have a great time on our half day fishing excursion. We offer either a morning or afternoon trip.

3/4 DAY FISHING
great for more time on the water
On our 3/4 day trips, we have a couple of options, we can stay local and spend more time fishing our best honey holes targeting a wide variety of fish, or we can head down to the Coronado Islands. The islands are in Mexican waters, and everyone will need a valid passport for us to go down there. They are amazing to see and fun to fish around.
FULL DAY FISHING
best for experienced anglers
On these San Diego fishing trips we have a full 12 hour adventure to spend fishing. They are popular in the summers, as the extra daylight gives us time to explore more areas. We have the option to stay in local waters, go to the Coronado Islands, or go offshore looking for trophy fish like tunas and dorado. We will use a variety of fishing techniques.
