Coletta Sportfishing - 

I took my son and a few of his buddies that are just getting into fishing. Captian Joe was great and got us on some fish. Sean our deckhand was great at helping out the boys and setting up all the rigs for trolling and bottom fishing. We caught a bunch of bonito, a yellowtail and some rock fish. The current San Diego bait situation is hard for all the whole fishing fleet. I think this is what separates the good captains and boats from the rest. Having good bait the fishing would be easy for everyone, but appriciate the knowledge and expertise of Colleta sport fishing to get us fish without relying on bait. Having a few of the boys first time fishing, the expierence was wonderful and I am sure San Deigo just gained a few more fisherman from the expierence they had. My son is working towards gaining expierence to work as a deckhand and his expierence on this trip with Sean was inspiring for him, so I thank both Joe and Sean for the expierence. That is what fishing is all about, whether catching fish or not, it is all about the expierence... I would highly recommend Colleta sport fishing group to anyone looking for a 1/2 day or full day trip.

We had the pleasure of joining Captain Joe and Jimmy on our 3 hr evening fishing adventure. We had the most memorable and incredible time ever! Our family of 6, two adults and 4kids ages 13-7. We all caught fish, had great laughs and made memories that will last forever! My daughter(12) hooked a 25lb yellowtail and reeled that thing in better than most men! It was so exciting and she is hooked, just like the rest of us on sport fishing! Till next time!

This was an amazing trip! We couldn’t have asked for a better 1st time experience! Captain Joe and Deck Hand Jimmy really took care of us; continuing to take us to the best locations, giving us the best chance to catch multiple fish. Our group had some with fishing experience and some brand new fishers and they both made sure everyone caught something! Thank you guys so much! We would love to go with them again for our future trips!

Capt Joe put us on the fish pretty quickly. We caught a Mako Shark, several Calico Bass and a yellowtail amberjack. We did the 4 hour day trip and it was the perfect amount of time for us. Once we were back in dock Capt Joe filet the fish we wanted and grilled them for dinner that night. Everything was fantastic (the Mako shark was our favorite). Great guide, boat and experience.

Capt Joe and Jimmy were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and excellent hosts. Full of action especially it being only a half day trip. We caught barracuda, bonito, kelp bass, mackerel. My son landed 2 out of 3 nice Yellow Tail which was the best part of the day. We will definitely be back!

We started bottom fishing and it was fast and furious. There were numerous doubles with large bottom fish and the crew even had to return safely two large yellow eye rockfish that are on the no keep list. captain Joe and mate Jimmy kept us on fish for the entire morning and we final had to cry uncle. Time was still left so we tried for a tuna hook up to no availe. great day on the water. i would go with these guys again in a heart beat.

Wonderful trip and captain and crew did amazing. Trip included (2) children 10 years old that had never fished in the ocean. The crew made sure they caught several fish. Yellowtail was running and we boated a 35 lb yello, calico bass and barracuda

They got us on some fish, very fun trip. First time being on the ocean. Joe and Cameron where great. would definitely book again with them. if you book thru this company do the full day for a longer trip and more fishing.

This trip was everything and more than I had hoped for. Captain Joe was amazing and so skilled. We caught 9 different species of fish!! 31 fish in less than 3 hours. Everyone caught several fish and it was so much fun and interesting. It was the perfect way for grandpa to take his grandkids on a fishing trip they will remember for years. Thank you Captain Joe!!!!

We had a fantastic experience for our first time sea fishing. The crew was great with our 8-year-old, and we managed to catch several great fish in our three-hour excursion!
