About Your Trip

The offshore banks that lie off the coast of Southern California down into Northern Baja, provide a great opportunity to catch big game fish with a fly rod. From the Coronado Islands for yellowtail and Bonito to the outer offshore banks for yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, and Dorado.

These offshore fisheries will consist of searching out the ocean for kelp paddies that can hold yellowtail and Dorado and at times, yellowfin tuna. These paddies give you the chance to find fish that are holding in the upper water column.

On these offshore trips, you'll be fishing rods that are 10wt up to 13wt, depending on what species and size Captain Mark has you targeting that day.

All offshore fly trips include all fly rods, leaders and flies, chum, teasers. No need to bring anything other than your fishing license, lunch, snacks, and beverages! Captain Mark will have a cooler with ice and waters for you to drink and use for storing those food and beverages as well.

Be prepared for cool mornings on the run out to the fishery. Recommended to have some lightweight clothing to wear as the day goes on. Average sea conditions can be a little bumpy to having a heavy wind swell. Most winds are in the afternoon and the ride home can be bumpy. Be prepared for all weather conditions.

About Your Guide

Mark M.

Independent Guide

Though he grew up in Arizona, those close to Mark during those years are not surprised to see that he has wound up making a career as a saltwater charter captain. As early as he can remember he has always had a fascination with water, and even more, what may be swimming in it. He is the owner and operator of his charter business with expertise lying in the offshore waters of San Diego.
With thousands of days on the water under his belt, he knows and understands what it takes to manage your time on the water for the best results.
Whether you are a novice that is just getting into the game, a family out on vacation looking to fish, or a seasoned angler looking to lay into some fish, Captain Mark's goal is not only to catch fish but more importantly to create a memorable and fun experience for each of his clients. He looks forward to one-day meeting and sharing his passion for the ocean and “what lives below it” with you.
