Diamond Dogs Sportfishing 

Booking a fishing charter with Captain Al was an incredible experience and worth every penny! He is patient, kind, and exceptionally beginner-friendly while easily accommodating anglers of all skill levels. Having his dog, Jax, on board was such a wonderful bonus! Captain Al is incredibly knowledgeable about San Diego, pointing out the naval ships and sharing fascinating history throughout the trip. Beyond the great conversation, he really knows his craft—he tracked the wind and tides seamlessly to put us right on the fish, and we caught a bunch of sand bass while learning about their patterns. I couldn't have asked for a better day on the water!

Had an absolute blast on the water with Captain Al! Spent 4 hours fishing the bay with light tackle and artificial lures — relaxed, fun, and perfect for families. Al is a fantastic local guide who really knows these waters, and we had a great time together. He even taught me the "grandpa technique" — be patient and steady, and it works every single time. Sure enough, we landed several spotted bay bass! His dog Jax was the perfect first mate and kept us great company. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to enjoy a great day out on the water. Will definitely be back!

i planned this trip over a month ago. i was taking my nephews on an adventure, and I picked the right crew. i had so many questions, so Captain Al called me and made me feel confident that i planned the trip i wanted. The fish were biting from the first few minutes. When things slowed, he moved on to the next spot. I told him that i wished the knowledge and tips he imparted were known to me before i went fishing in Yellowstone River & Alaska. We all caught fish, hence we were all happy. The captain's knowledge is impeccable.

Captain Al Silebi is a star. Great with kids. We fished with him a year ago and caught tons of spotted bass. This year he suggested we try the north part of the bay and caught multiple guitar fish, multiple halibut, spotted bass, keeper sand bass, sting ray, mackerel, sculpin. Lots of action. Seven yr old caught the most. I HIGHLY recommend Capt Al. First mate Jacks the chihuahua does his part also. Grandkids loved him.

We had an absolutely amazing fishing trip from start to finish. The scenery was beautiful, the conditions were perfect, and the experience couldn’t have been better. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident the entire time. The fishing itself was incredible—we were on the fish early and often, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to fishing, this trip delivers excitement, great memories, and plenty of laughs.

Al couldn’t have been a more considerate captain. I really needed my 8 year old to get a win after several unsuccessful attempts. He really delivered under less than optimal conditions. He was very communicative and we all had a great time and picked up some new techniques. His boat is in great shape and his 2nd mate is very friendly. I can highly recommend the 4 hour bay trip for anyone with kids looking to get some fundamentals.

Had a great day of fishing. If i ever return I will book another trip with Diamond dog. First mate jack was great !!!!

Caught loads of spotted bass and a couple of rays. Captain Al knew the exact spots to fish, was very knowledgeable and helpful, taught grandson some new tricks of the trade and along with Jax, was a pleasure to spend the morning with. Would definitely book them again.

The trip was amazing from start to finish. Captain Al was so knowledgeable and his First Mate (Jax the dog) was adorable. We caught over 100 fish between the 4 of us and we all had different skill levels. We can’t wait to join Al and Jax again for another adventure.

had a blast, caught so many fish we lost count! didnt have to travel far to the fishing spot, we got on the fish early, and stayed on the fish, it was awesome. Captain is very helpful and has clear guidance on technique. 10/10 would recommend.
