Fresh Carlsbad Fishing Reports

Departed the dock at 8:00, stopped by the bait dock and picked up some sardines and mackerel. Made our way down south in the beautifully calm water, saw a few dolphin as we approached our first fishing spot. Was a slow start to the morning, however started to pick up towards the end of our 5 hour trip with a very nice variety of fish for the day! Scuplin, calico, white fish, blue perch, mackerel, rock fish, johnny bass, and sheepshead! Tried a few different spots throughout the day ans ended it with a solid spot hooking fish every 5-10 min. Saw a few dolphins and kept our eyes out for whales. Fun day for this family!

Departed from the slip around 7:30am, stopped and picked up some fresh sardines and mackerel from the local bait dock. Steamed offshore to look for some dolphins and whales. Then we cruised in shore to catch a variety of fish for the morning. Sculpin, sheepshead, and some blue perch! Sun was out and the water was calm. Lovely winter morning of fishing for this family:)

Left the slip at 7:30 AM. Stop at bait dock for live Sardines then ran offshore about 4 miles to troll for Bonito. No luck there but a very large70 Plus lb fish jumped twice next to the boat. We then when inshore to fish for Bass. We ended up catching 28 fish of 7 different varieties for two people. We saw 3 different pods of Dolphins and one Ca Grey Whale on the way back. Great Day of winter fishing

Following our most recent successful sword trip, we navigated our way west to try and replicate the results. Flat calm seas and crystal clear skies made for a very enjoyable day on the water! First drift, no bites. Second drift, tip rod gets bit within 5 minutes, goes slack, we are hooked up! After a tougher battle and breaking the rod and reel, we land this beauty and decide to call it an early day and head to the scales! Just shy of 200 lbs, this fish provided many dinners for our family and friends! The gladiators of the sea are biting and the weather is GORGEOUS. Book a trip today and let's go catch a fish of a lifetime!

Due to our local waters being unusually warm, the chance to catch pelagic fish this late in the "season" remains! After an hour run to the zone, we deployed two baits into the depths to start our first drift. Within 15 minutes of the first drift, our buoy fell flat on the surface indicating that we are bit. After a brief battle, we landed this beautiful swordfish with plenty of time left to catch another! This is what is happening right now! If you want a chance at a fish of a lifetime, book a trip as this won't last forever! -Captain Danny

Left the slip at 8:00 AM and stopped at the bait dock for live Sardines. We already had squid for bait also. Cruised out for 3 miles and put the trolling jigs in the water in hopes of getting Some Bonito. We hooked up within 15 mintes and the young son fought the fish fopr about 10 minutes. He was very Happy. We then close to shore to anchor up and fish for Bass, Sheepshead, Calico Bass, Ocean White Fish. We caught them all. Fun day for everyone.
