The fishing in San Diego has been red hot, and we’re not slowing down! From first-timers to seasoned anglers, families of all ages and experience levels have been reeling in some impressive catches on both our nearshore and offshore adventures.
Whether you’re chasing dinner or just creating unforgettable memories on the water, Coletta Sportfishing has been delivering all summer long—and there’s still time to get in on the action!
Nothing beats the feeling of hooking into a fish, battling it back to the boat, and then taking it home for dinner. Our guests have been landing tasty rockfish, big red vermillions, and a solid mix of groundfish that’ll make any seafood lover smile. Captain Joe and the crew aboard Wanu recently ran a trip where guests went home with full bags and big grins—nothing but fresh eats and fish stories to share.
One of the best parts about fishing with us? We’re built for everyone. From young kids learning to cast, to vacationers looking to check “deep sea fishing” off the bucket list, our crew is patient, experienced, and knows how to make your trip fun. We’ve hosted families from out of state, return clients from across California, and even bachelor parties looking for something different—and every group leaves smiling (and usually a little sun-kissed).
The rockfish bite has been ultra-consistent, especially when we venture a little deeper. Some days start slow, but we’ve been finding the hot zones and turning every trip into a success. Captain Geno and crew aboard Swell Chaser recently made a power move into deeper water and came up big with quality reds and other bottom dwellers.
One trip after another, these vibrant fish have been lighting up our decks—and our guests’ Instagram feeds. A recent trip with Captain Joe and First Mate Mikey was nothing short of a vermillion slamfest. If you’ve never held one of these bright beauties up for a photo, now’s the time!
This summer’s been epic—but it’s not over yet. Late July and August offer prime conditions, lighter weekday crowds, and warm waters that keep the bite hot.
Still thinking about booking? Here’s why now’s the time:
We’ve still got limited availability for half-day, ¾-day, and full-day charters. Whether you want to fill your freezer or just enjoy a few hours on the Pacific with friends and family, now’s your window before summer winds down.
📍 Book your trip today at ColettaSportfishing.com or give us a call—we’ll handle the gear, the bait, and the good vibes. You just show up ready to fish!
Tight lines,
Captain Chris & the Coletta Sportfishing Crew
