Fall may be here, but the fishing off San Diego is still on fire! The crews aboard the Wanu and Swell Chaser have been staying busy putting our anglers on great fish, and we’re thrilled to announce something brand new — our Lobster Charters are officially here!


🐟 Recent Fishing Highlights

Red Vermillion Madness

A group visiting from Michigan joined Captain Joe aboard the Wanu and got into an incredible Red Vermillion bite. The rods were bent all day, with plenty of color hitting the deck and smiles all around.

Rockfish Runs Stay Strong

When the offshore bite slowed, we turned our focus to bottom fishing — and it paid off big time. Captain Geno aboard the Swell Chaser put guests on a steady pick of rockfish, calico bass, and other tasty bottom dwellers. Even when the sea was a little bumpy, the fish didn’t disappoint!

Local Anglers Get It Done

Some of our favorite trips came from local San Diego groups who hung in there through slow starts to finish strong. A quick change in depth and location brought in limits of rockfish and plenty of fillets for the table. Persistence pays!

Family Trips & Celebrations

From birthday outings to friends’ get-togethers, it’s been a busy stretch of smiling faces, tight lines, and lifelong memories. Big thanks to our returning clients and newcomers for trusting our team to make their days on the water unforgettable.

Youth Tournament Fun

Special shout-out to young angler Willis, who landed eight fish in the Roy Martin Young Anglers Tournament! Watching the next generation fall in love with fishing is what it’s all about.


⚓ What’s Biting Now

  • Vermillion rockfish are stacked and biting strong.
  • Mixed rockfish limits are common on both half- and three-quarter-day trips.
  • Calico bass and lingcod continue to show up on the reefs.
  • Inshore and drop-zone trips remain productive depending on conditions.

The weather’s been great, and fall fishing in San Diego is one of the best times to get out before the winter chill sets in.
