Into The Depths Sportfishing is your ticket to the stunning waters of San Diego.
You're likely to fish for Halibut, Bluefin Tuna, Calico Bass, Rockfish, Lingcod, and more with any luck. You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!
Trips with Into The Depths Sportfishing are child-friendly, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Some essentials to bring are snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your excursion begins aboard a 24' Boston Whaler that can carry up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your Captain has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Want to just see beautiful San Diego Bay, book a 2 hour bay cruise to see all the edges of a beautiful bay.
Now's the time to experience fishing in San Diego for yourself with Into The Depths Sportfishing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience with Into The Depths Sportfishing! Captain Donnie was the absolute best. From the start, he was friendly, kind, and super knowledgeable. He took the time to explain how to use all the equipment, which made us feel comfortable and confident on the water. Donnie brought us to a few different fishing spots, and we ended up catching some really great fish! When I started feeling a little seasick, he was so understanding and immediately adjusted the plan—he brought us back to fish in the harbor where the water was much calmer. I really appreciated that he cared about making sure everyone was having a good time. 100% would use this company again. Highly recommend Captain Donnie and Into The Depths Sportfishing for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing trip! 🎣

Donnie was a super nice guy. He was knowledgeable about the area and the fish. The boat was clean and well maintained; the bean bags up front were a nice touch and made it relaxing. We caught some and fish and had a good time. Well worth the money.

My kids and I had a great time with Captain Donnie, the whole experience was much better than anticipated. Everything was easy and smooth, we just had to show up. Kids caught quite a few fishes, even a shark 😊 Highly recommended!
