Book your next trip with Reel Zen Charters and find out what you're missing in San Diego. Captain Casey will be your guide, which means you'll tap into their local experience.

These waters are known for Yellowtail Amberjack, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, Lobster, Sculpin, California Sheephead, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!'

During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Casey can also help you try kite fishing.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Food and beverages are permitted onboard, snacks and water are provided with each trip however we ask that you bring your own lunch and anything else you would like to drink. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, please avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your excursion begins aboard a 25' Pilothouse that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has outriggers, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

You'll find rods, reels, tackle, and live bait waiting for you, as well as lures.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and hats.

Get in touch with Capt. Casey below and start planning your trip today!
