Get Hooked On Fishing In San Diego

San Diego boasts 70 miles of coastline and an oceanic backyard teeming with albacore, bigeye, yellowfin, bluefin, dorado, yellowtail, seabass , marlin and a range of rockfish.

If you consider a good day to be rocking on the ocean waves with a fishing pole in your hand and your line taut with “the big one”, then you’ll want to carve out some time for sports fishing on your trip to San Diego.

San Diego is home to some of the largest and most modern sports fishing fleets, which dot its coastline, including at Mission Beach, Point Loma and Carlsbad. Most of these companies offer a variety of trips, including half-day trips, ¾ day trips, or even 5- or 10-day excursions far out into the Pacific Ocean or down into Mexican waters.

Trip availability will depend on the time of year. During the summer, many sports fishing companies offer “twilight runs” where you can fish through the warm nights. In the spring and fall, popular trips include a visit to Coronado Island where fishers can expect to pull up yellowtail, white sea bass, calico bass, barracuda and bonito. Winter is the time for full-day bottom fishing, where fishermen and women will drop their lines deep to go after red rock cod, lingcod, cow cod and sculpin.

For the ultimate sports fishing experience, you’ll want to sign up for a multi-day excursion, most of which will cruise the outer banks of the Northern Baja peninsula, on the hunt for yellowtail and dorado, among other big catches.

Sports fishing is a great activity to do with older children and teens. The combination of the salty sea air, the miles of dark water all around the boat, and the excitement of reeling in a big catch can bring a family together for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

San Diego Coast Rentals has strong relationships with some of the best sports fishing outlets throughout San Diego. Whether you are staying down in San Diego near Point Loma or Mission Beach or up north toward Carlsbad, we can help you get a great deal on a fishing trip.
