I took my son and a few of his buddies that are just getting into fishing. Captian Joe was great and got us on some fish. Sean our deckhand was great at helping out the boys and setting up all the rigs for trolling and bottom fishing. We caught a bunch of bonito, a yellowtail and some rock fish.
The current San Diego bait situation is hard for all the whole fishing fleet. I think this is what separates the good captains and boats from the rest. Having good bait the fishing would be easy for everyone, but appriciate the knowledge and expertise of Colleta sport fishing to get us fish without relying on bait.
Having a few of the boys first time fishing, the expierence was wonderful and I am sure San Deigo just gained a few more fisherman from the expierence they had. My son is working towards gaining expierence to work as a deckhand and his expierence on this trip with Sean was inspiring for him, so I thank both Joe and Sean for the expierence. That is what fishing is all about, whether catching fish or not, it is all about the expierence…
I would highly recommend Colleta sport fishing group to anyone looking for a 1/2 day or full day trip.

The pleasure was all ours Ian. You’re correct. The bait situation is making it very difficult for the San Diego Fishing Fleet but like you said we still can catch fish without that luxury. I heard your boy was very interested in becoming a deca fantastic. It can be a lot of fun and exciting especially when taking families like you and your boys. thanks again for everything stay well and look forward to getting you and your boys out again soon.
We had the pleasure of joining Captain Joe and Jimmy on our 3 hr evening fishing adventure. We had the most memorable and incredible time ever! Our family of 6, two adults and 4kids ages 13-7. We all caught fish, had great laughs and made memories that will last forever! My daughter(12) hooked a 25lb yellowtail and reeled that thing in better than most men! It was so exciting and she is hooked, just like the rest of us on sport fishing! Till next time!
Jade, the pleasure was all ours. Your daughter was amazing, reeling in that yellowtail. You are right when you say you reeled that fish in better than most men. Creating memories that will last a lifetime, one charter at a time. Thanks again for everything, and I look forward to talking soon.
This was an amazing trip! We couldn’t have asked for a better 1st time experience! Captain Joe and Deck Hand Jimmy really took care of us; continuing to take us to the best locations, giving us the best chance to catch multiple fish. Our group had some with fishing experience and some brand new fishers and they both made sure everyone caught something! Thank you guys so much! We would love to go with them again for our future trips!
Thank you so much for writing such a positive review. Captain Joe and Jimmy really love what they do and sharing their knowledge with really nice folks like yourself. Thank you for choosing us for your fishing adventure. Look forward to taking you out again soon all the best.
We started bottom fishing and it was fast and furious. There were numerous doubles with large bottom fish and the crew even had to return safely two large yellow eye rockfish that are on the no keep list. captain Joe and mate Jimmy kept us on fish for the entire morning and we final had to cry uncle. Time was still left so we tried for a tuna hook up to no availe. great day on the water. i would go with these guys again in a heart beat.
JIM, thanks for taking the time and writing such a great review. Great job on all those fish. The rock fish were very aggressive on your trip and it’s good to see you. Quite quality and quantity. Thanks again for everything. Take care. Talk soon.
Capt Joe put us on the fish pretty quickly. We caught a Mako Shark, several Calico Bass and a yellowtail amberjack. We did the 4 hour day trip and it was the perfect amount of time for us. Once we were back in dock Capt Joe filet the fish we wanted and grilled them for dinner that night. Everything was fantastic (the Mako shark was our favorite). Great guide, boat and experience.
thanks Jeremy for running such a positive review. Captain Joe really loves what he does and you can see it when you finish with them. Great job on Landon know Fish. Thanks again for everything. Look forward to taking you out again soon Captain Chris.
