Epic Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip – Bay (AM) on July 10, 20253 adults1 child
Our fishing trip in San Diego Bay with Captain Mike and Karen was an amazing experience. Their warmth and expertise created a welcoming environment from the start. The husband and wife team made everything easy. . Captain Mike's knowledge of the bay and everything in and around it, was impressive. The day resulted in a variety of catches, including bass, halibut, and sharks. Someone was always reeling in a fish. Karen's assistance getting the trip booked and knowing what to do and expect was excellent. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and had all the top-notch gear, including custom rods. Beyond the catches, the fun and professionalism of the trip set it apart. The experience was memorable, and everyone, regardless of fishing experience, had a great time. For an unforgettable fishing adventure in San Diego, Captain Mike and Karen are highly recommended. A return trip is highly anticipated! Thanks so much!

Wow Mitch, thank you for the fantastic review. Your group’s ability to pick up on the “new to you techniques “ is what made our day successful. It kept me very busy and resulted in an enjoyable day for all. I would be honored to get the chance to take you all out again soon. Tight lines, Captain Mike

Thanks to Capt Mike and Karen for giving us a great day of fishing. With their guidance we had the perfect day on the Bay - where a wide variety of fish were biting. Very convenient / easy and flexible with what we wanted ( catch and release - catch as many as possible !) . Thank you - we will be back !

Booked this trip for my father's day. My 5yr old son and my 72 yr old father and I. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had with my son. I travel a lot for work so every moment with my son I cherish. This trip hit all the marks, caught a ton of fish, and was the best father's day ever.

Hi Stephen, thank you for the amazing review. Having three generations on the boat is always special. Your family's great attitude & willingness to "make the moves" made my day easy. I really enjoyed spending the day with you and your family and would appreciate the chance to get you guys back out on the water in the near future. Fair winds and following seas, Captain Mike.
