Southern California offers the unique “close to coast” fishery for Mako sharks. Compared to other species in SoCal that come and go with each month. These cold inshore and nearshore waters give fly fishermen looking for a tug the most consistent chance at hooking into these beasts year-round. Prime months for big Makos pick up in May, June, July and returning in October up into November. This trip also gives you time to explore further...

About Your Trip

Southern California offers the unique “close to coast” fishery for Mako sharks. Compared to other species in SoCal that come and go with each month. These cold inshore and nearshore waters give fly fishermen looking for a tug the most consistent chance at hooking into these beasts year-round. Prime months for big Makos pick up in May, June, July and returning in October up into November.

This trip also gives you time to explore further
offshore San Diego's coast and explore much farther waters depending on the season, conditions, and length of the trip. You'll be seeing some sharks that will surely give you a breath-taking experience. This trip will allow for more time to find fish and sharks and more time for travel. So if you are trying to get that bucket list fish on the fly, this is the trip for you.

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.
