Risen Tide Sportfishing is an experienced charter operation specializing in fishing San Diego Bay and the surrounding inshore waters. Spotted Bay Bass, Bonefish, Shortfin Corvina, California Halibut, Sand Bass, Calico Bass, and Leopard Sharks are just a few of the species you can expect to catch on a typical day in San Diego Bay.
This is a great place to introduce children to the sport of fishing, as bites come early and often and 20-30 fish is not uncommon for a half day of fishing. On top of that, the fish of San Diego Bay bite year round, rain or shine!
You could not ask for a better vessel than Captain Eric Risen's Skeeter SX240 bay boat. Brand new in 2017, she is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha outboard motor to get you out to fishing grounds quickly and safely. The boat has top-of-the-line fish finding electronics, a high-powered trolling motor, insulated fish boxes, and all the necessary safety equipment including life jackets for all sizes (children included). Please note, the minimum age for children is 8 years.
All fishing tackle is high-quality, with Daiwa and Shimano rods and reels to ensure you don't lose the fish of a lifetime. Most charters come with live bait, which is bought before the trip to save you precious fishing time. There are plenty of snacks and drinks onboard and all your fish will be cleaned and filleted free of charge at the end of the day. Just jump aboard with your fishing license and anything you want for the day and enjoy!
If you are interested in exploring nearshore waters with Capt. Eric, then please get in touch with him before booking your trip. He'll happily listen to what you want out of your trip with him and will use the information you give him to check weather and water conditions, in order to make sure that everything is in place.

We had a great morning fishing, we caught a variety of fish and alot of them. Captain Eric was excellent, making sure we were on the fish. I would highly recommend this charter to any family.
Thank you so much for an amazing trip! We caught so many fish we lost count. We will always remember this experience! Captain Eric rocks!
Caught a ton of fish and was able to bring home Corvina which is great. Would definitely recommend. Perfect routes - no big waves and nothing crowded. Had a great time. Good for all age groups too. Caught corvina, spotted bay bass, sand bass, needlefish, halibut, and bonefish. Would do this one again.
awesome experience he made sure we caught and the experience was worth every penny and a memory we get to cherish
Captain was on time and we quickly got into some fish. Ended the day on three leopard sharks and hooked into a Ray.
