What anglers said about Bluefin Tuna Fishing in California

If youโ€™re coming to San Diego in November through February make sure you have warm clothes. At least three layers to take off during your day. Itโ€™s normally on the water in the high 40s to low fifties first thing in the morning. Once suns up its in the High sixties.

Halibut can be spotty if you book a trip late in October(if you only do a half day, full day trips will be better for halibut) but captain Sean will make sure you have a great time and catch fish either way

Know what to expect during the time of the year that you are going out and you will not be disappointed. This was my second trip off the shores of San Diego. Both times we had a great day and caught what we expected.

Bring a jacket... even if it's warm on shore, once you are out in open water, and the boat is going, it gets cold.

This was the first time that I ever fished on Lake Tahoe. I am from Iowa, so I donโ€™t do much fishing at all. I really had an unbelievably great time and enjoyed catching my limit in 3 hours. What a beautiful lake. I give this a 10!!!!

Great place to fish. You never know whatโ€™s biting. Youโ€™ll catch a lot of smaller fish in the bay, but if you want to go for the big ones, youโ€™ll have to go out for a longer tour.

A four trip on the bay's calm waters is a great way to get started. Perfect amount of time to catch plenty of fish.

I would highly recommend this trip for anglers fishing in LA for the first time. The crew is highly experienced and will guide you how to properly cast and reel in your catch. I have fished all over the western hemisphere and this was one of my favorite experiences.

It was a little hot by the late afternoon. The weather was supposed to reach over 100 but it didnโ€™t feel as hot on the water as it did when we reached the shore/land. It felt about 10 degrees or more cooler. Love that delta breeze!!

Although we didnโ€™t fish with children, it would be fun for the older ones. The trip is not long and you can catch a lot of fish. This is a catch and release trip so perfect for people who are not looking to keep their catch. Would be a very fun trip for kids as well as adults.

Donโ€™t be the dummy who thinks shorts and a tank top is a good idea. Check the weather and dress appropriately. Bring a styrofoam cooler with dry ice at the bottom and ice on top of the dry ice to leave in the car. Gallon size ziplock bags, paper towels, hand soap with pumice (ie: Fast Orange), and a change of clothes for afterwards are a good idea, too.

Be selective about who you choose to be your fishing guide. Look at the reviews and ask for referrals. The Pelican and Captain Bobby were excellent
