Join Patihopper Sportfishing for and adventurous day in San Diego! Captain Vince De Palma has been in the fishing industry his whole life and knows everything there is to arrange a perfect day of fishing. You can join him for a day at any time of the year, as the fishing season never stops here. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler looking for a new trophy, Capt. Vince is the guide you need.
You'll be fishing from a 22' Triumph center console that accommodates up to 3 anglers. This boat is powered by a 115 HP Yamaha engine and it will glide and fly to your fishing spot in no time. There's also Furuno navigational electronics, a cooler, a live bait tank, and outriggers. You can also go snorkeling, as you'll have masks and fins available on the boat as well.
You can go bottom fishing for Halibut and Rockfish, trolling for Yellowfin Tuna, popping for Bluefin Tuna, or experiment with spearfishing, kite fishing, and jigging. You get to keep your catch and the captain will fillet it.
You'll need to purchase a US fishing license and, if you're planning to fish close at Coronado, you'll need a Mexican license as well. You can easily get both licenses online.
Your fishing equipment is fully covered by the captain. There's fresh water on the boat but you can bring other beverages and don't forget your snacks.
Patihopper Sportfishing is your ticket for an action-packed day in California! You only need to choose which adventure you want to take and show up!

We had awesome trip with Captain Vince. Set off early and the game plan was to head south. Captain Vince worked his butt off to make sure we caught lots of fish and we were not disappointed. Another thing that became clear was that he knew how to keep us comfortable throughout, even when the weather turned. We'll definitely be returning.
Thanks Yo Fan for letting me go the distance get you and your dad limits, the ride back was rough but you and your dad did great. Your always welcome on the Patihopper
I love fishing with the Patihopper guys! My Dad and I have been out with Captain Vince several times last couple years and every time out they not only find the fish but get them to the boat, and all the while teaching us along the way. We have caught Yellowtail, Tuna, Dorado as well as many of the other local species. If you're looking for a professional, knowledgeable and down to earth crew and Captain, Vince and the Pattihopper are excellent!
Thanks Matt its always great fishing with you and your dad. Thanks again, Capt. Vince
What a great experience I had with Captain Vince. He knows where to find the fish, boat was very comfortable and he makes fishing very fun. I’ve never caught as many fish as when I went out with him. Can’t wait to book my next trip.
Thanks Tony, I couldn’t have done it without you. You amaze me with your angling skills. See you soon, Capt. Vince
Such a beautiful day fishing!! Vince was so knowledgeable. Took us everywhere and was right there with every catch. Felt very safe and comfortable! Definitely doing this again!
It was great having you both out.
I've been fishing many times with Captain Vince! He knows the best spots and it's always a blast hopping patties, chasing down the tuna. This mahi was the biggest fish I've ever caught and I didn't want to drop it so Captain Vince held it up for me! Thanks for all the memories and can't wait to get back out on the water with you!
Thanks Stefani its always a pleasure to have such truly professional fisherwomen out with me. And thanks for the killer meals you bring out with you. See you in a few weeks, Capt. Vince
