San Diego Fishing Report - Fishing Remains Solid

We departed Mission Bay and intended on fishing inshore but instead we decided to go to San Diego Bay due to bad weather.  While there, we targeted halibut, bass, and sharks. It was flat calm, beautiful conditions inside of the bay. 

Inside of San Diego Bay, we were bottom fishing using live sardines. It is the best type of bait to use for halibut.

When fishing San Diego Bay, we are mainly targeting halibut, sharks, and different species of bass. 

On this San Diego fishing trip, we caught:

• Numerous spotted bay bass
• A couple sharks
• Three short halibut that were not legal to keep
• A legal sand bass in the standout which we had to release was an endangered giant black Seabass, that weighed about 60 pounds. What a fight this was.

We had to remove the fish from the water to snap a quick photo and more importantly, get the hook out of its mouth to release it properly and safely and let it swim another day. We had it out of the water for under 20 seconds and got it back in and watched it swim right away. 

If you'd like a day on the water with an experienced San Diego fishing charter; give Captain Dan and Fish Furthers a shout!
