My wife spoiled me with a 4hr Bay Trip fishing trip in San Diego for my Birthday present. Captain Sam owner/guide of Guardian Charters put us on some awesome spotted bay bass/spotted sand bass. Our first catches of this species. Then we both missed & lost a couple halibut. The fishing and 4Hr trip was amazing!!! The views of San Diego & around the bay were outstanding, with Sea Lions hanging out in several locations, along with many Naval Ships & Submarines in dock. Captain Sam & his boat... More

We had an incredible experience with Captain Sam during our recent trip. From the moment we booked our trip to the morning of our arrival, he was incredibly helpful and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. As soon as we boarded the boat early in the morning, we were pleasantly surprised by the roominess and overall quality of the boat. It exceeded our expectations. Sam was extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the fishing we did, we not only fished but learned too! This was... More

We did a half-day San Diego Bay fishing trip with Captain Sam on the Defiance.  We had a great time, Sam and his crew were friendly and engaging and knowledgeable.  He’s great with people who are new to fishing. We caught a bunch of fish, and had a great time. I highly recommend it.

Captain Sam took me and my sons out for a six-hour trip.  We stayed on fish, even when the big boats, crowded with anglers were not catching anything.  We chased sand bass and rock fish when the yellowtails stopped biting. Great boat and crew.  Book with confidence.

I’m not an avid fisherman but my boyfriend is and this charter was EPIC, exceeding our expectations. From start to finish the crew was spot on just like our “Fish On”! Captain Sam definitely knows where to go and we caught so much Mahi and Tuna we had plenty to give away. Next time my boyfriend will book a spear fishing trip with Guardian while I stay behind and wait for my dinner to be caught! :)
