Pt. Loma Sportfishing half day trips on the Daily Double
-
(I like this boat and highly recommend it for a half day trip)
The Daily Double fishes half day at the Point Loma Kelp Beds and other local areas. They leave twice daily at 6:30 am and again at 1pm. Each trip is about 5-6 hours long .
You just arrived back at the dock after a sucessfull two day tuna trip. Everyone aboard who caught fish meets at the top of the dock where the fish is handed out by number. Some fish is already filleted while some were not. You are now thinking "what the heck am I going to do with all this fish and get it back home to Texas" (or wherever you are from)

Sport Fishing for Calicos.... (Every couple weeks I will be writing articles covering tips, techniques and various sportfishing topics covering San Diego. I am no pro at writing, but I am an experienced fisherman who grew up in San Diego and likes to share what I have learned with others.)
Every year between November and April the California Grey Whale makes its annual migration to Baja, Mex.. at Magdelena Bay. This is an added bonus for fisherman taking trips out of San Diego as I recall countless trips spotting them on the way too and from the fishing grounds.
fun with the kids. I took my nephew
out for his first trip with J.D. and he has been hooked since.
He made it as productive as fun. Another fine boat I recommend.
Malihini
3/4 Day - Great sportfisher with long, productive history
of fishing the Coronado Islands. My first boat a s a kid.
New
Seaforth - 1/2 and 3/4 day fishing. Another favorite, this
boat is extremely comfortable and always offers a friendly
crew and Captian. Closest to the La Jolla Kelp Beds.
Oceanside
95 - This boat usually fishes overnighter's and multi-day
tuna trips and occasionally half-day trips which in my opinion
is one of the finest 1/2 day boats in San Diego. Equally quality
operation for tuna trips. Located in Oceanside Harbor.
