5 Hour Sight Fishing Thrill with Capt Brian
Shark Half Day on July 1, 20232 adults

My 5 hour trip with Brian and his crew was a blast. I battled sea sickness the majority of the time but the guys didn't let that stop the fun. I fought through and they put me on some good sharks. Equipment was sufficient and had a set up ready to go for any size of shark sited. The site fishing aspect was a BLAST and even though we couldn't get the biggest ones sited hooked up, my heart has never raced more with a baited line in the water. Makos are understandably not an easy fish to handle so this trip is for the pure thrill from the fight of a top of the chain predator so this isn't the trip for family photos and fish to take home: nonetheless, if you want a once in a lifetime experience with expensive gear and an expensive vessel then allot yourself about 3 hours per person who wants to hook into a shark. There was 2 of us and we hooked into 2 sharks, and had the opportunity for 2 more. Don't cheap out and book some good hours with these guys and you'll have a great story of an adventure to cherish and share. This was so much fun even sick as a dog the whole time! Check out their website Fishing Charters of San Diego and book a trip you will be pleased with!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

It all started with my dad as a kid. I always loved being on the water and catching anything I could. Over the last 50 years, I've made fishing my life. I've been fishing the waters of Southern California on anything from tiny boats to luxury Sportfishing yachts. Inshore or offshore there's no place I'd rather be. Running charters for families and big game anglers allows me to share my passion for fishing. The variety of species and anglers keeps it exciting.
