Mission Bay Fishing Reports

In December, fishing is weather dependent. Be prepared for a variety of conditions and dress accordingly.

Grind at finding fish and you will get on fish. Less boats out this time of the year which is awesome!

San Diego is a very beautiful city to begin with and add fishing the area is breath taking!!! Highly recommend fishing in San Diego area.

Couldn’t ask for a better 1/2 day excursion. Fish were jumping in the boat

Speak with your captain prior to departure. Bring extra food and drinks if desired Make sure to check the weather to prepare properly

The fishing boats depart promptly at their scheduled hour. Be EARLY or ON TIME for the trip.

Don’t hesitate to book with Pelican Sport fishing, you will not regret it. Captain Shaun will make sure you have a great time.

Tuna fishing down here can always be a hit or miss, avoid those days after a full moon and you should be able to get on them.

The water is a bit murky from the red tide this time of year but the fishing was still lots of fun, especially around the wrecks. Dress warm, 60's on the water can be cool.

Dress for weather conditions and if you haven't been on the ocean before take some dramamine before and during your trip. Oh I also recommend using Good Times Fishing.

First time for us so really don't have any advice other than charter with someone who fishes for a living and knows the spots!

It was a little early in the season for the bigger fish, but the water was great, the weather was warm enough and the fish were biting.

Dress warm while out on the ocean, it was really cold for us coming from Arizona. The parking is not suited well in some places for large vehicles. Research where you will be staying for availability of parking and the size of space reserved for you.

We recommend fishing during the peak season. Allow plenty of time to find parking.

Dont always just book with the cheapest charter, look to see if theg have good quaility gear for you to use, reliable boat and knowledgeable of the area.

Go with captain clowers. He'll give you a GREAT trip. He will take the time to show you the techniques, explain the feeding habits of fish, how to fish for different species, a great teacher.

It's all good. Just be ready for a great day of fishing. If it's your first time, the right captain and crew can make all the difference.

Check out this 4 hour morning trip - we caught a lot of fish, got to see some sea lions & some Naval maneuvers, too. Great to get your feet wet.

follow the reviews and trust that you'll be in good hands. This is my 3rd trip, 3 different boats, and all 3 did an excellent job.

I'd recommend calling Good Times Sportfishing. Captain Phil was fantastic!!
