Fantastic time!
We have a great trip with Captain Al! Communication was great from the moment we booked until we stepped off the boat. We knew what to expect - what if anything we needed to do such as licenses - and we were excited for our trip to start. We caught fish right away and Captain Al’s knowledge of the bay led to a day of fishing we’ll remember for a long time. We had initially thought we would book a charter to chase yellowtail - we went this route instead favoring steady action over a hunt for yellowtail. We experienced the added excitement of watching and aircraft carrier up close as it sailed by, and seeing the Blue Angels land and takeoff front the Navy base near by. Really glad we made the decision we did and would recommend this charter with our highest rating! Thanks for a great day for fishing Captain Al and Diamond Dogs Sport Fishing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Fishing Trip Ever!
My son and I had the BEST time ever with Diamond Dog Charter and Captain Al — hands down, an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Al and his daughter made us feel like family. They were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and just downright fun to be around. Captain Al didn’t waste any time — he put us right on the fish! We were reeling them in one after another and my son couldn’t stop smiling. You can tell Captain Al knows these waters like the back of his hand. It wasn’t just a fishing trip, it was a memory we’ll cherish forever. Thanks Al!

Al and Jax are great!
We had a great day fishing with Al and Jax! Al did a great job getting us on the fish while being very realistic about our expectations. We caught a lot of fish and rarely went more than a few minutes without a bite. This is a highly recommended fishing trip in the San Diego Bay area. We stayed in the harbor which made for calm waters and an enjoyable experience. Thanks!

What a Day!
We had a party of 4, 2 adult males and 2 teenage boys. Captain Alberto and his deck hand/helper Izabella were fantastic. Captain Alberto knows what he’s doing and he knows where the fish are at. We all caught more than our share of fish during our four hour day trip. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone that wants to ease into their first fishing experience or for any seasoned veteran that wants to have a great day in the San Diego Bay.

Captain Al catches another boat full
Perfect outing today for 6 and 10 year old grandsons. We all caught plenty of spotted bass along with a few bonefish and several others. Al and his deckhand daughter Isabella are very nice and work hard to keep the fish coming aboard. They were excellent working with the grandsons. We could not have had a better time. Highly recommend.
