Kraken Sportfishing is ready to show you what these plentiful waters have to offer! Departing out of Mission Bay San Diego, you’ll be in a prime position to explore everything from fish-filled kelp beds to offshore hotspots. Your guide is lifelong angler Captain Leng Bai, who has plenty of tips and tricks up his sleeve.
Captain Leng runs an impressive variety of shared and private charters, which are all customizable. No matter your skill level, you’ll find something to suit you perfectly. Newer anglers or families can opt for exciting, budget-friendly shorter trips to nearshore waters, where Halibut, Calico Bass, and Rockfish can be found. More experience under your belt? Head out for a full day and battle oversized Tuna!
You’ll be fishing from the “Kraken,” a 2004 Grady White Islander. She measures a spacious 29ft with room for up to 6 guests, and is powered by twin Yamaha 4-stroke 150 HP outboard engines. Capt. Leng has had the boat outfitted for all types of fishing, and you’ll find top-quality navigational electronics on board to guide you to the hotspots.
Capt. Leng employs a wide range of fishing methods, including deepsea fishing, fishing with live bait and lures, sightcasting & spearfishing. Using a mix of these methods, he’ll have you targeting a wide range of species, including Tuna species, Mahi Mahi, Yellowtail, Halibut, Sea Bass, Lingcod, Sheephead, and Rockfish.
If you’d like to spearfish, you must have some experience and bring your own gear along. prefer to try a more conventional technique? Your captain has mounted grand-slam outriggers for trolling, as well as Penn, Phoenix, and Calstar rods paired with Penn, Daiwa, Okuma, and Accurate reels.
Your trip includes all necessary bait and tackle needed . Snacks & drinks are also provided free of charge. A customary 20-30% gratuity is not included in the price but very much appreciated.
Sportsmans seafood restaurant is offering Catch and cook exclusively for kraken Sportfishing customers.

10 Hour Trip – Offshore
We went out of San Diego for pelagic species and got skunked, but he kept us going along some other spots on the way in and we got some good fish. We got to eat our catch at the local restaurant and he helped us get a water bottle we left aboard the next day. If he represents Kraken they’re doing something right.

Halfday special 1pm 5hrs
We visit our son ones a year and we were super blessed to have Captain Leng Bai with Kraken Sportfishing as our guide. He called it at the beginning of our trip, “mission bay is truly his back yard!” We had a blast and he was more than a gentleman. Mike Fowler, DALLAS PRO TECHS owner and Opperator for over 30yrs. As an entrepreneur I’ve always said, “Your only as good as the people you work with.” Great job Captain Leng! Thank you for all your hard work…

8hr-Coronado Islands
These guys were awesome! We did the Coronado Islands; Fish were a little finicky and Although we didn’t catch any targeted fish (yellowtail), they still made sure we didn’t leave empty handed and took us to catch some rockfish! Safe, clean, excellent guys! Coming back to do it again but next time we catch some targets! Out of everyone I spoke to on this app though I’m glad I went with the Kraken boys! Captain Leng is the man! 10/10 will recommend! Happy fishing!

10 Hour Trip – Offshore
The Kraken and Capt Leng is hands down the best charters we have fished with. He put us on the fish we limited out in just over an hour!! We will be back in couple months to make another trip! Thanks again Capt for a memorable time.
