Silva Scales n' Tales Sportfishing 

It is very clear Captain Mike cares about his clients. We spent the morning trying to find the fish, which we eventually did. Once that happened we pulled a large number of Mahi and Yellowtail into the boat. It was non-stop for several hours there, and we did very well. Mike is friendly, knowledgable and just a great guy. Would definitely do a charter with him and his boat again. His boat is also very fast, saving a bunch of time getting to where we needed to go and getting back to the marina as well.

What an amazing day out at the Coronado Islands with Captain Mike Silva! The water was beautiful and the fishing didn't disappoint — landed a solid yellowtail, which made the whole trip. Mike knows these waters and put us right on the fish. Great crew, great scenery, and a perfect day on the water from start to finish. If you get the chance to fish the Coronados with Mike, take it — highly recommend!

we had a blast with Capt. Mike. He took the time to know what kind of fishing we wanted to and worked hard give us the best possible experience. We caught 4 Bonitas a Mako shark, yellow tail and a bunch of rock fish. Almost more fish than we could carry home. i highly recommmend and will book Mike again.

this was our second trip out with Captain Mike. Just like last time, he really went the extra mile to make it a great day out. Caught some somewhat out of season mahi-mahi, which was a great surprise. I'm making them into tacos as I'll write this. We'll definitely be back.

Such an amazing trip with Captain Mike! We saw whales and dolphins, which was incredible, and the fishing did not disappoint. We caught Bonita and kept some to cook up for dinner, which made the day even better. Captain Mike was fun, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable the whole time. An unforgettable experience and one I’d highly recommend!

Caption Mike took us on a 7-hour fishing trip and made sure we caught some big fish. We had an amazing time celebrating my Dad's 50th birthday with Captain Mike.

We had a great time. Kids were thrilled to catch some great fisb. Capt Mike was awesome. When we come back to San Diego we will fiah with him. And his boat is perfect, and gets you to your deatination quick.

Captin Mike was great!

Booked Mike for an offshore trip 6/1/25, weather was gloomy to start but he still managed to get us on some big fish. Next thing you know Capt. Mike said reel em in where going to catch some Bonita! Less than 5 minutes later were doubled up on Bonita , boats going crazy , amazing time. I can honestly say me and my friends haven’t had a good time like that in many years. Thank you Capt Mike, you are a legend and will be our go to charter for sport fishing. Mike is intelligent , smart , easy going and very calm and collected, overall an amazing and outstanding captain. Mike and his team will get you on the fish!

We had an absolute blast! I can’t recommend Silva Scales n’ Tales Sportfishing and Captain Mike enough! We caught several species of amazing fish and saw an incredible abundance of marine wildlife. On the way to one of his fishing spots, Captain Mike spotted a whale spout and asked if we wanted to check it out. So we got a bonus experience of getting an up close encounter with a grey whale and her calf. I went out with my two sons, ages 9 & 11, and Captain Mike was fantastic with the kids. He was incredibly patient and took time to teach the boys different techniques and assist them when needed, while providing encouragement and giving them the confidence to bring in fish after fish on their own. If you want to learn, have fun and catch incredible fish, I definitely recommend dropping a line to Silva Scales n’ Takes Sportfishing!
