What anglers said about fishing in Mission Bay

First time fishing Iโ€™d recommend wearing clothes with zippers to secure all belongings. 300 horsepower boat your hat will fly off ! Wear secure hats and glasses and anticipate dressing for the weather seriously

We went out on the trip hoping for yellowtail, but knew that it was still early in the season and they might not be around yet. We wound up bottom fishing the day of, caught some beautiful Rockfish, good sized, and came home with plenty to split between two households, and at least enough for 3 or 4 dinners for our family of 5 and a dinner friend or two.

We are used to catching bigger fish in the Gulf like snapper and grouper. The water was a little more choppy this trip so we feel like the weather had some bearing on not catching the bigger fish. We still had a great time.

If youโ€™re coming to San Diego in November through February make sure you have warm clothes. At least three layers to take off during your day. Itโ€™s normally on the water in the high 40s to low fifties first thing in the morning. Once suns up its in the High sixties.

Know what to expect during the time of the year that you are going out and you will not be disappointed. This was my second trip off the shores of San Diego. Both times we had a great day and caught what we expected.

Bring a jacket... even if it's warm on shore, once you are out in open water, and the boat is going, it gets cold.

Great place to fish. You never know whatโ€™s biting. Youโ€™ll catch a lot of smaller fish in the bay, but if you want to go for the big ones, youโ€™ll have to go out for a longer tour.

A four trip on the bay's calm waters is a great way to get started. Perfect amount of time to catch plenty of fish.

Although we didnโ€™t fish with children, it would be fun for the older ones. The trip is not long and you can catch a lot of fish. This is a catch and release trip so perfect for people who are not looking to keep their catch. Would be a very fun trip for kids as well as adults.

Be selective about who you choose to be your fishing guide. Look at the reviews and ask for referrals. The Pelican and Captain Bobby were excellent

Watch some videos on how to use a conventional bait-caster reel. Bring plenty of bags of ice and coolers for what you catch. Be prepared to clean your own fish or book a slot at the processing plant.

Make sure to wear layers, bring a cooler for fish to bring home and be patient. Catching fish is not guaranteed but you can always have a fun experience.

This was our first time fishing in the bay so we werenโ€™t sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of fish we all caught. I think my youngest son caught more than 10+ fish. We didnโ€™t keep any as they were not really the eating kind and they were mostly under 14โ€.
