    6 hour off shore fishing charter

    6 Hour Trip Offshore WAHOO - 8:00 AM • 2 adults

    My wife and I joined Captain Jason for a 6 hour off shore fishing trip in late September 2026. Jason maintained open lines of communication with us leading up to the trip with updates and pertinent details. Jason worked hard to put us on fish for several hours, but fishing was tough, not only for us, we could hear other boats over the radios struggling to get onto them. Jason persisted even past the 6 hour mark to make sure we didn’t leave empty handed. After a little more work, Jason put us onto exactly what we asked for! We caught 8 yellowfin tuna, and one dorado! Looking back, the only thing I would have done differently would have been to reach out to Jason before booking to ask what option is best based upon local conditions. By the sounds of it, more fish were in areas further off shore that would’ve been accessible during an 8 hour trip rather than the 6 hour I booked. Nonetheless, Jason worked hard and put us on fish where others struggled. I would highly recommend booking through Bring it on fishing charters. Captain Jason is reliable, a hard worker, and a blast to fish with.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yellowfin Tuna

    great Afternoon On The Water

    4 Hour Trip – San Diego Bay - 2:00 PM • 1 adult

    We had a great day fishing San Diego Bay with an excellent guide who really knows his waters. We even had a little unexpected excitement courtesy of some overzealous Navy security personnel who seemed determined to make their presence known. Our captain handled the situation calmly and professionally, never letting it detract from an otherwise terrific day on the water. Highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Bonefish
    Spotted Bass

    Besting the Hurricane!

    3 Hour Trip – San Diego Bay - 8:30 AM • 2 adults

    Went out Saturday morning with Captain Jason- outstanding time. Weather was looming- but he put us on fish right away, managed the storm front, and got us in before things got too crazy. Great time!
