San Diego Bay fishing trips & charters for the whole family.

San Diego Bay Fishing Trips & Charters

San Diego Bay is a great place to take your kids on fishing trips to teach them the basics of fishing while having a tremendous time of catching fish!

San Diego is loaded with spotted bay bass, sand bass, bonefish, halibut, corvina, bat rays, guitarfish, leopard sharks, smoothhound sharks, and many more great fighting and tasty saltwater species for excellent fishing trips and charters for the whole family!

We use artificial lures. If you would like live bait, it is an additional charge.

San Diego Bay Fishing Trips aboard our 20′ Stringari charters!

• Stringari 4-hr Bay charters: 4 hour bay charters designed to fish San Diego Bay. Family and kid friendly for Bay Bass, Sand Bass, Halibut, Bonefish, Bay Sharks and whatever else we run across in San Diego Bay while fishing.
• Stringari 8-hr Bay charters: Full Day Fishing Trips this is a big hit with our clients as it gives us plenty of time to fish for a lot of species like bonefish, bay bass, all the bay sharks, halibut & corvina. Also, you can bring your own lunch and eat on our boat or choose our restaurant option by pulling into a marina and choosing from one of three different locations. (Restaurant cost not included in the trip price.) 

The Stringari Bay Trips are not a “meat hunt” (If you’re looking to keep a lot of fish to take home, you will need to book our bigger boat for a 1/2 or full day outside of San Diego Bay.) The Bay Charters are designed for lite line fisherman, family with kids, or the angler who enjoys lite line fishing. 

Note: You may keep the keeper size fish, but it is mostly catch and release fishing.

Looking forward fishing with you and having a great of fun catching fish / site seeing excursion.

Need to add a fourth person? You may add one additional person for a one time fee.
