There’s a Shark with your name on it in San Diego, and Captain Jack’s Sportfishing will help you catch it! With Captain Jack at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Mako Shark, Thresher Shark, Blue Shark, Hammerhead Shark, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Jack also offers fly fishing and provides the necessary gear.

You’re welcome to bring home some of the fish you catch, so long as regulations allow it. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home to eat. Your next meal doesn’t get any fresher than that! If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available.

Capt. Jack welcomes you aboard a 27’ Pro-Line center console with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. It’s always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in San Diego for yourself with Captain Jack’s Sportfishing!

Great Fishing with a Great Guide
Half Day Trip – Shark Fishing on June 11, 20251 adult
Absolutely great time. Captain Jack gave me the option of going for more fish or bigger fish which I really appreciated. He had so much knowledge of the water and the area. Decided to go bigger and Captain Jack got me on the line with a nice mako. He definitely knew how to bring the sharks into the boat and the right gear for the job. Had an amazing day out on the water and I really recommend.

Captain Jack was an amazing captain and his deck hand Allan was very helpful and full of life. Both were very knowledgeable experts when it came to the sharks. Knew exactly when and where they'd hit. Both makos were over the 300 pound marker and had put up amazing fights. This will be a trip I'll never forget. Highly recommend!

Full Day Trip – Shark Fishing on June 27, 20252 adults
Captain Jack knows sharks. Absolutely amazing trip! We were on fish immediately once we got to the fishing grounds, we released a couple and fished the rest of the day trying to find more fish, we decided to try one more spot and landed a very nice shark! Captain Jack knows his stuff! Thank you for an amazing trip!!

Captain Jack was a gentlemen. Took our two kids out in search of Makos, found plenty and enjoyed the experience greatly. Captain Jack was great with the kids and made everything easy for us. Hope to fish with him again soon!
