Mako Shark Fishing in San Diego

San Diego's shark fishery is one of the best kept secrets of west coast fishing. Being home to a Shortfin Mako nursery (one of only three known worldwide), these waters regularly see adult Makos between 80 and 200lbs. With common yearly captures of monsters over 1000lbs in weight, this is the place to get your trophy catch of this amazing apex predator.

The fishery is just a few miles out from the shore and Mission Bay offers the most convenient launching point. Makos are available throughout the year, but the best time to target them will be during the summer.

AH-mazing trip with Pelican as always!
5/5
In the first 5 minutes my husband caught a mako shark! The rest of the day we were pulling up rockfish and white fish all day long. Such a blast and always worth every penny. Noah was awesome, very cool guy and personable. Extremely knowledgeable and put us on fish every time. Booking our next trip right now!

Captain Travis was fabulous! He was polite, patient, knowledgeable and fun. He was very attentive to our requests and accommodated us with great fishing. We were able to catch fish for dinner, a mako shark that got away the last minute, dolphin sighting and much more. We will be back next year!! Thank you!

We had so much fun with AWOL. They are so knowledgeable and had us on the fish THE WHOLE TIME! Not to mention that our hooks were always baited and ready to go. They know thief stuff and make it easy to enjoy fishing with them. We had a great time! Thank you again Andrew and Ace. 10/10 would recommend and will book with them again. See y’all in September for some bluefin…

Amazing Experience!
5/5
My son and I had an outstanding time on our charter. Shaun was a great captain and knew right where to take us. He was very personable and patient with us as we learned about salt water fishing. Best of all, we caught a lot of fish and brought some back to eat. What a great day! I would highly recommend Pelican Sport Fishing to anyone looking for a great salt water fishing experience.
