What anglers said about fishing in San Diego County

From what we heard, September is slowing down. We got lucky and caught a couple halibut. If you’re looking for dorado (mahi mahi), do that in July or August.

Listen to the crew they have a wealth of knowledge. I recently got into fishing and the crew taught me so much. Made the experience even better and now I’m ready to go after even bigger fish.

Bring a sweatshirt and some sandwiches. Bring an ice cooler to take your fish with you. Sunglasses, sunglass straps, sunblock and any type of hat are also recommended. You need good shoes that give you stability to reel in fish.

If you definitely want to catch fish and don't care about what type of fish, stay in the bay. Offshore deep big fishing is hit or miss. We missed this time, unfortunately.
