What anglers said about fishing in San Diego Bay

Although we didn’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.

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.

Check your ego at the door. Let the Charter Captain be the expert he/she is and guide you. It will make for a much more pleasurable fishing experience!

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.

Go more in the middle of the month as you’ll have better luck with the halibut.

This was our first time fishing in the bay so we weren’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 didn’t keep any as they were not really the eating kind and they were mostly under 14”.

If you have never been on a boat follow the Captain’s recommendation about motion sickness prevention. Tons of different fish species to catch.

Definitely splurge on a charter. With just four guests, the crew was able to help us all individually. It was great fun!

Plenty of sunblock. Calm waters in the bay but expect big swells if you go offshore.

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.

The fish are aggressive and are a great fight. Haven’t been on too many other trips similar to this trip but I would fully recommend doing it again. Lots of sun screen
