About Your Trip

Head just south of the border for a unique day fishing the Coronado Islands, one of the most productive and scenic fisheries in the region.

These trips offer a mix of action and variety, targeting species like yellowtail, calico bass, rockfish, bonito, barracuda, lingcod, and more. During the right time of year, there’s also a chance at tuna.

With more time on the water, you’ll be able to fish multiple zones around the islands, using a mix of techniques including trolling, casting, jigging, and live bait fishing.

Beyond the fishing, the islands offer incredible scenery and wildlife, with frequent sightings of dolphins, sea lions, and bird life along the way.

Trips typically run longer due to travel time, so it’s a great option for anglers looking for a full, well-rounded day on the water. All gear, bait, snacks, drinks, and fish cleaning are included.

Passports are required for all passengers.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
