SIX Pac Fleet

Malihini - 3/4 Day (Featured Boat, thanks for great service guys and June in the galley!!!) - Great sport fisher with long, productive history of fishing the Coronado Islands. As mentioned above this is another boat I followed Tim Green on when he owned and ran it. My first boat to fish as a kid when I was just 6 years old.

Daily Double - Half Day - This is my favorite half day boat in San Diego. Captain Fred Huber runs a top notch boat and his experience gives the best possible chance of catching fish. When Calico Bass are biting he finds them. If you should catch Fred on a stop he fishes, watch carefully and take notes. I learned by watching him. Great boat.

Experience the ultimate sportfishing experience as part of any number of San Diego California vacations that can be organized. Book a San Diego hotel room today.


Calendar - I created a calendar for trip planning and posting upcoming trips I like from the San Diego fishing fleet.
