Captain Eric made the fishing experience fabulous and memorable for us. My wife and buddy and I have very different levels of fishing knowledge and experience. Capt. Eric did a great job of finding the fish (Corvinas, Halibut and Bass), then cleaning and filleting them.  We were in the bay for about 4 hours and caught about 20 fish, including a few keepers. We highly recommend fishing with Capf. Eric Risen.

If you’re looking to have a good time and catch some fish , Eric is your guide. First off he is always checking the weather ahead of time and we had to change from our original date and time so the weather wouldnt affect our fishing or shorten our trip.  He had us on this fish from the get go.  We caught bass, halibut, a barracuda, and even a couple sharks.  I had my 9 yr old and 5 yr old and Eric was great teaching the kids and helping with them so that I could focus on fishing.  We had an awesome time and definitely recommend his as your go to guide.

This is the 3rd trip the grandkids (9 and 11) and I have taken with Eric (Rising Tide).  Caught over 50 fish at least (a lot of Bass, 3 halibut, leopard shark, etc). Great trip if you want to catch some fish.  Great for kids/family. We used live bait/lures and Eric put us on the fish early/often throughout the day.

My wife bought me this fishing trip for Father’s Day .Me my son my son in law and my grandson went out today with captain Eric on rising tide.Eric put us on the fish right away for 3 hours non stop we caught halibut Corbina white sea bass spotted sand bass calico bass mackerel and a big shovel head shark this was a great experience with a great captain I recommend this trip for anyone that wants to have fun catching fish all day with a very knowledgeable captain that is also a great guy

Eric was the perfect guide for a half day of fishing on the bay. He was super communicative leading up to the trip - answering all my questions promptly and friendly. His boat was a perfect for for my 13 year old son and I - and the San Diego Bay was beautiful and calm.

Eric is super knowledgable and he led us around the bay searching for action. The morning was slow at first, but Eric was relentless in his efforts to find where the fish were biting. About an hour in, things heated up and I had a blast watching my son reel in spotted sea bass, mackerel and some kind of scary looking needle fish. I did a little fishing too, but I was mainly there to support my son.

Best part for me - Eric does the dirty work. He takes each fish off the line and was constantly changing out lures for us looking for what was going to work best. On the second half of the day we used some of the bait fish we caught to try and land some bigger sharks or sting rays. We got one big bite, but lost the line in the fight. Finally my son was able to reel in a stingray - which proved to be the absolute highlight of our vacation for him.

Can’t recommend this trip - and Eric in particular - enough. A+++ for a memorable morning on the water. And then we spent the afternoon exploring the beautiful Coronado island - bonus!
