San Diego Sportfishing is a Labor of Love

The Labor Day Holiday is upon us but the Summer Action continues to be strong here in San Diego!

Speaking of “schools,” the schools of Dorado are representing the world-class fishing and weather that makes San Diego the envy of the civilized world! Our anglers continue to experience fantastic trips and stellar catches! Here at Coletta Sportfishing, we pride ourselves on delivering the San Diego fishing experience of a lifetime, especially to families that include children and junior anglers.

Our fleet is tailor-made to deliver an experience that your family can enjoy for years and years. As you can see below, the family that fishes together, stays together. We we also love to host groups of old friends getting together to share fishing stories.
