Another Epic Fishing Trip with Captain Dylan! We caught close to limits of yellow tail. Captain Dylan always puts us on the fish and he goes above and beyond to ensure everyone catches fish. You will not be disappointed! Hands down one of best captains in the entire San Diego fleet!

Full Day Trip

VERIFIED

My brothers and I went on a full day trip with Capt. Dylan. From the start Capt. Dylan was communicative and friendly. He laid out a couple scenarios for us to choose between different fish to target and we choose to go after Mahi. After driving to our first spot, the Capt. was able to get our entire group bit and every angler almost limited out. We did a lot of cruising around searching for kelp patties after that and were able to locate another, but were unsuccessful in catching more fish from that point on. Overall, our group had a great time on board AF Sportfishing and I would definitely recommend and use this service again in the future.

6 Hour Trip – Bay

Half day trip with Capt. Dylan

VERIFIED

This was our first family trip to the west coast and we were looking forward to spending some time on the water. Capt. Dylan didn't disappoint! After a quick trip to the bait dock where plenty of seals and sea lions were competing with the birds for scraps, he had us on fish almost as soon as we set the anchor. We caught rays, shark, halibut and more. Capt. Dylan kept the lines in the water with fresh bait to make sure the kids always had some action on the line. Only regret is that we didn't take more pictures!
