Risen Tide Sportfishing offers spin and fly fishing charters in San Diego Bay, California, led by Captain Eric Risen, a highly professional, tournament-proven saltwater angler with over 20 years of fishing experience in San Diego, having spent his youth fishing the bay’s inshore and offshore waters.
San Diego Bay is one of the most unique fisheries on the West Coast — a natural deep water bay sheltered from offshore swells, home to hundreds of fish species, and voted the #1 easiest place to catch a fish in San Diego. Fast, plentiful action is common, with 20-30 fish half-day trips not unusual, making it a genuinely great destination for children and beginners as well as serious bass anglers, all set against year-round good weather and downtown San Diego views.
San Diego Bay Fly Fishing is a genuine specialty, targeting Spotted Bay Bass, California Halibut, Bonefish, Calico Bass, and Shortfin Corvina across the bay’s diverse habitats. Half Day Bay charters (5 hours, spin or fly fishing) run $749, while Full Day Bay charters (8 hours) run $1,099. Additional species include Sand Bass, Croakers, Bonita, Sharks/Rays, and Mackerel.
The business maintains an active fishing report blog with seasonal updates on bay conditions.
For anglers of any experience level (including families and children) near San Diego, California looking for a specialized, more than 20-year experienced spin or fly fishing charter on San Diego Bay, Risen Tide Sportfishing offers a well-established operation with Captain Eric Risen.
