Shark Trips!

Fly-fishing for mako sharks is a unique experience. Without a doubt, San Diego offers fly-fisherman, of all experience levels, the best opportunity in the United States to target mako sharks up to 200 pounds.

Our summertime shark fishing trips offer fly-fisherman the highest percentage shot at an angler releasing a 100lb fish "On The Fly" in the U.S. That's right! Your odds are better of catching a big shark on a fly rod with us than a tarpon, sailfish or marlin anywhere in the U.S., east or west coast! Click HERE for more info...

Feb. 15, 2010 : Big Blue Shark and More!

While the San Diego bays are producing bass and halibut, Blue Shark fly fishing has been phenomenal for the month of February!

With water temps in the high 50's to low 60's and an abundance of big Humboldt squid you couldn't ask for better conditions! We have released Sharks well over the 100lb mark on each trip so far this month!

Jan. 4, 2010: Great January Sharkin'
San Diego Blue Shark

While some people across the country are shoveling snow, here in San Diego the seas have been calm, it's 65 to 70 degrees out, and the new year has started off good for San Diego shark fishing. We have released over 30 sharks this year already, both Mako and Blue sharks, with reports of a few juvenile Threshers being caught locally as well.
