Fish On Charters

San Diego, United States
10+ reviews
Capt. John runs trips out of San Diego aboard a 35' Cabo Express. These waters are known for Lingcod and Seabass and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    we definitely had fish on

    3/4 Day Fishing Charter Islands • 6 adults • 3 children

    John worked hard to get us on fish today, and we loaded up with about 15 yellow fins. We even got a mahi at the end for fun. Had a few of my 12-year-sons friends along and they all are tired, sunburnt, and happy tonight from getting bites and reeling them in.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yellowfin Tuna
