We found a gem with Capt Mike, Admiral Karen and The Bubba Jean! What an incredible half day trip!  The Only way to experience fishing on the bay complete with a history lesson that taught us more about the ships, structures, legends, and happenings in San Diego than anyone could ever learn in a lifetime.  My buddy and I took our teenage sons out and we had a blast.  Catching fish is of course the goal, and we did, but spending time with Capt Mike made it an epic adventure. 

Super easy logistics. We showed up, meet Mike, and hopped onto to the boat.  We spent almost every minute of our trip with lines in the water as we traveled through the channel.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone.  No matter the experience level, the Buba Jean is the fishing charter for you

Mike and his wife were a pleasure to deal with. His wife handles all of the scheduling, information, billing, etc., had everything organized for us, gave tips on where to purchase food nearby, parking maps, etc. Mike is the captain and he is a great guy. Even though we had very bad weather and someone from our team got sea sick Mike was a trooper and did the best he could to make the trip a great experience. Weather did not allow us to stay at the Islands for too long but Mike gave it 110% and we had to go back to shoreline fishing as it was getting too dangerous - Mike is all about Safety First and Fun 2nd! Shoreline fishing was great, caught ton of Halibut. Mike’s boat is also great, tons of advanced equipment and Mike does a great job of getting everything ready before you head out. Lastly, Mike has a ton of knowledge to share about the local area, was quite educational as well. Great trip - would highly recommend. Thank you Mike and Karen!

We had such a Great Time!!! Captain Mike and his Dear Admiral Wife Karen made sure we were completely set up and comfortable for an Amazing Day in the San Diego Bay. Very Well Kept and Clean Boat with top of the line Fishing Gear!!! Very prompt and courteous with the perfect emphasis on safety! Mike gave us an incredible guided tour of the bay explaining all of the interesting landmarks old and new! We caught Halibut, Sea Bass and even a Lizard Fish!! We will be coming back to San Diego again soon and are definitely booking another Charter with Bubba Jean Sportfishing!!! Thank You So Much For Everything!!!

Mike was amazing! Very informative of everything in the harbor on our way out to fish. Got us to some hot spots immediately and stayed on them all day! Caught 21 fish in 4 hours! A lot of bass, couple halibut, a bat ray, and a couple other different types of fish! Was a blast and Mike was amazing helping with whatever was needed! Will definitely book with him again! 5 stars!

Not enough stars available for our trip with Mike and Karen.
The fish biting was slow at first. Mike was quick to pull up if the fish weren’t biting after putting us on the fish.
Mike
was definitely super responsive. Even when the fish weren’t biting he was constantly pointing out interesting landmarks details on our way to the next spot. Mike’s determination paid off as our last stop was a constant “fish on” for everyone (3 of us)
We drifted over spot again with more hits and made the trip!
Highly highly recommend!
