Come to San Diego and you will end up sitting on the beach. As you are, you will probably notice the boats cruising offshore with people fishing. Simply put, the fishing off the coast is tremendous and makes for a good day trip.
Deep sea fishing is a niche of fishing unto its own. You board a boat at the crack of dawn and head out a few miles to quality fishing spots. If you prefer, there are longer trips that take you out to the big fish like tuna over three or four days.
The San Diego coast offers some tremendous opportunities for anglers. The coast brings together flows of warm water that result in large kelp beds. The fish congregate around the kelp beds, which makes for great fishing.
When I say a wide variety of fish, I mean it. How about one trip where you can catch everything ranging from Dorado to sea bass to barracuda? Take a multiday trip and you will be able to get far enough offshore to hit the tuna.
The deep sea fishing boats are found in two areas in San Diego. In the north county, we have Oceanside which is the last northern town in the county. Point Loma is our second spot and located just to the west of downtown San Diego.
You can find various options at each of these locations. Each offers different trips with corresponding prices. Some are multi boat businesses while others may just be a single boat with the owner acting as captain.
San Diego Sportfishing, Inc., is a popular provider out of San Diego Harbor. The company provides half to three quarter day trips although charters are available. The three boats are the Point Loma, Mission Belle and Daily Double.
Up the coast in Oceanside, you can charter a 32 foot Rodovich Sportfisher via the Fish Taxi charter. Captained by Don Nelson, this is a much more personal experience than one would find with the San Diego Sportfishing operation.
San Diego is a warm area, but it can get cold in the morning on the boat. Make sure to use a layered clothing approach when you head out on even a half day trip. Remember, it will be cold in the morning and hot the rest of the day.
Bait is vital when it comes to fishing. That being said, you really do not want to feed the fish your breakfast or lunch. There are patches you can wear to stop sea sickness. Invest in them so you do not end up with a ruined trip.
San Diego has a lot to offer visitors. From the beaches to the famous zoo, there is a lot to do. If you like fishing, make sure you take at least a half day trip to check out the deep sea fishing off the coast.
