Fishing Charter Report from San Diego, CA - 10 - 7 - 25

25 fish and 10 different species caught today off Coronados Islands - all smiles today!

On this chartered fishing trip out of San Diego, we went down the Coronados Islands on a 3/4-day charter just off the coast of Tijuana, Mexico. It’s about 20 miles down to the nearest island and just under a 1 hour ride cruising at 25 kts. 


The crew wanted to focus on fishing bottom species to load up on taco meat.  With that task at hand, we were on our way to bottom fishing with two hooks per rod using squid, swim baits, shrimp, and live anchovy as bait. Everything was getting lots of bites. 


If you want to load up on bottom fish, the Coronados Islands are the place.  Always good fishing action at many of my numerous secret spots, and often there are also yellowtail, bluefin tuna, and some other game fish; around although we did not see any on this chartered trip.


The crew wanted to catch a lingcod and a sheepshead so I took them to some of my secret rocks and we ended up with 2 lingcod and 3 sheepshead as well! They were stoked! We left the islands with passenger limits and a few extra for the captain. 25 fish and 10 different species were caught. Overall, a great day on the water with great weather and great people. 


If you'd like to come fishing with me down to the Coronados Islands for some fun, hit me up!
