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...

Bay Trips!

San Diego is known for year round mild climate and beautiful weather. What some people don't know is there is also year-around fly-fishing!

Their are over a dozen species to target in San Diego Bay and Mission Bay from Halibut to Bass and Croaker. Click HERE for more info...

Fishing Reports

Jan. 4, 2010: Great January Sharkin'

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.

Jan. 1, 2010: Happy New Years!

As the new year rolls in, we are proud to offer our clients the new Sage Xi3 series rods in 6wt.-16wt., and 6000 series reels for their use on all of our fly fishing charters. As always, we offer the best new equipment for all of our guests every season!
