Member since May 2019 San Diego, United States
Background
I grew up on an island in the Caribbean. My life was surrounded by water and the ocean my playground. I got my first taste at fishing when I was 5 years old handlining the bottom fish from a small 12' panga. My dad ended up getting a bigger boat when I was 10 years old and that's when I elevated my fishing game. I had access to the rich fishing grounds of the Caribbean waters and started fishing for pelagic fish like Tuna, Sailfish, Billfish, Swordfish, Wahoo, and Bonito, to name a few. My vacations were spent fishing, my weekends were spent fishing, and every spare time I had I'd be in the water fishing. My passion carried over when I moved to San Diego 20 years ago, and I started fishing in the rich local waters. I now want to share my experience and the love of fishing with other people and give them memories to last a lifetime!
Techniques
The proximity to both US and Mexican waters ensures the widest range of fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. Some of the target species include Bluefin, Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado, Yellowtail, Bonito, Wahoo, White Seabass, Calico Bass, Halibut, Sheepshead and more. Depending on the time of the year, we can target different species based on available intel and weather dependant. We specialize in local day trips up to 80 miles Offshore to target big game pelagic species so you can catch a fish of a lifetime. Our Inshore fishing trips will take place along San Diego’s coastline. From Point Loma, across Mission Bay, and up to La Jolla, you’ll explore some stunning shallow waters. Get your fish on as you bottom fish for the bite of Halibut, Bass, Sheephead, rockfish, lingcod, Bonito, and many more delicious and exciting fish to take home. We provide all equipment necessary to fish or you can bring your own and mexican fishing visas.
