    Worth Every Penny: An Incredible San Diego Charter Experience

    4 Hour Trip — Fall Special Bay AM • 2 adults

    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!

    Awesome Experience!

    8 Hour Trip — Inshore (3 pass max) • 2 adults

    My first ever private charter experience was a huge success! Captain Al had us catching fish the entire day, started in the bay jigging for bass and caught a few nice ones, then it was in between tides si the bass fishing slowed down, we went and git some live bait and it didnt take long before we were bringing in bonita left and right, super fun fishing. The trip would have been great if that had been it, but then i hooked into a monster fish while casting a metal spoon, it put up a great fight and we finally landed it to our surprise it ended up being a 25lb yellow tail, my first ever!!! It was an amazing way to end the day. I have nothing but great things to say about captain Al and his first mate Jax, I highly reccomend them to anyone looking for a fun action packed experience out on the water!!

    Reported catch:
    Sand Bass
    Yellowtail Amberjack
    Bonito

    Such a fun day! Thanks for choosing to fish with me! You did an excellent job handling that Yellow on the light tackle! They are one tough fish!

    Great day on the bay with Captain Al!

    4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing AM • 1 adult

    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!

    Reported catch:
    Spotted Bass
    Response from Captain

    The best part about fishing is how it forges new friendships! Thanks for coming out and enjoying a morning with Jax and myself. Til our next tacos!

    Pick this trip - It was Perfect!

    4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing AM • 2 adults

    My son and I booked a trip with Al, and as a beginner myself, it was all new to us—my son had only some experience with lake fishing. Al is fantastic! A San Diego local, he knows the waters and where to find the fish. All of our gear was included - just showed up with our own snacks and drinks and off we went! We caught plenty of fish, including a halibut that we kept! We learned so much while we cast, including fishing techniques, how to handle hooked fish, details about each species, and enjoyed Al's engaging stories about fishing and tips for success. Being on the boat, just the two of us, made it even more special. Al ensures you’re actively learning rather than just casting and waiting, making the entire experience exciting, engaging, and incredibly fun! As a side note, I am easily susceptible to motion sickness, but despite it being a bit breezy, which made the water more choppy than usual, I did not get sick. Al truly made this trip special for us and one we won't soon forget. Exciting, educational, relaxing, and most of all fun! The 4-hour trip we took is great for anyone wanting an adventurous day on the water, doing some Bay fishing, learning about the local area, the Naval ships, dockyards, and history along the way. If you have landed here and there is availability, I can tell you there is no comparison to Al's trip. Just book it now before your date/time gets scooped up by someone else. We will definitely be back again. Thanks, Al!

    We'll be back

    Special 5 hour trip for Reena Rivera • 3 adults

    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.

    Reported catch:
    Calico Bass
    Spotted Bass
    Halibut
    Response from Captain

    Couldn’t have asked for a better day! Great weather, cooperative fish, good company, short ride to the fish. Thanks for fishing with me and sharing an awesome day!
