What to bring list
Meet The Captain
The start of our trip we will pick you and your friends up at the dock. Hot coffee and pastries can be purchased at the local market. Once onboard we will go over a safety check with all of the passengers before we start our deep sea fishing San Diego adventure. Your captain will go over the fishing options and we will decide as a group what type of fish to target. Lucky for us sportfishing in San diego offers so many varieties of game fish that their could be different catches throughout the day. We will then go to the bait receiver located just a few minutes from our pickup spot and load the bait tanks with sardines or anchovies. We do use live bait when fishing offshore. We then will get the engines up to speed, talk stories and run to wherever the fish are. There are different ways we go about catching; Trolling, live bait or Jigs. The fish are like people. Sometimes what was great to eat yesterday isn’t so great today. If one technique doesn’t work, we will switch to another. The night before our trip your captain Will be looking at temperature charts, NOAA weather and other key factors that definitely affect the fishing day. When we get to the area we are targeting, everyone will be looking for breaking fish, birds and kelp paddies. All of these are key to locating biting fish.
Once we start catching, we have a bag with over 125 lbs of ice to ensure your catch is as fresh as can be.The fish will be properly handled, iced and brought to the dock at the end of our trip. When we get ashore, you will have the option to bring your fish back whole or to have It processed. Sportfishing in San Diego is a very busy industry so sometimes the processor can take 2 days to complete. They will take your catch, filet it and vacuum seal in dinner size portions so you can bring it open and store it for future dinners. Sushi grade is also available. For the traveling angler. Your catch can be packed on ice and shipped back home. These Services are charged directly by the processor.

We understand when you pick a charter boat San Diego you have many choices. The entire San Diego fishing charters are all amazing. My fellow 6 pack charters are all incredible so you can’t really go wrong. If we are full , we have many of our fellow captains we can refer a trip too so don’t hesitate to give us a call. On behalf of Marisol Sportfishing, I hope to see you all on the water.

Captain Ron

Hi, I’m Captain Ron from Marisol Sportfishing your #1 choice for Deep Sea Fishing in San Diego; I’ve been sportfishing in San Diego since 1991. I still remember my first trip ever. A good friend of mine was an avid fisherman. I had no clue. I couldn’t even tie a knot. Somehow on October 30th, he talked me into a 1 ½ trip on the Apollo out of Fisherman’s Landing. There was only 14 people on the boat and it was rough and whitecaps. I had my ski jacket, a pair of Vans and a hat. I didn’t know how cold it was going to be. I remember I borrowed my friend Senator 113 which he called a knuckle breaker. I soon figured out what that meant. We had 4 stops on that trip. Each one was for a few hours at a time on wide open yellowfin and big eye tuna all between 30 to 60 lbs. That was it. I’m hooked! Fast forward, 6 boats later and I am a captain of a 6 pack deep sea fishing San Diego.

Had a great day's fishing with capt Ron! We took the trip down to Mexican waters, had a couple of tuna strikes then caught a bunch of mahi-mahi. Capt Ron is quite the fisherman, and we all thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him. Will we go again? Absolutely, he knows his stuff and has excellent boat handling skills, and also knows where to have your fish prepped and packed for shipping as soon as you get off the boat.

I've been out twice now with Captain Ron on the Marisol, and both times were everything you hope for and more on a fishing trip. We caught yellowtail, yellowfin, and dorado. I can't wait for our next trip out!

Had a fantastic day with Captain Ron on the Marisol! I've never been fishing before, so I had no idea what I was doing. When I did get a fish on the line Captain Ron was there to coach me and help me reel in my first blue fin tuna. So much fun and would definitely recommend a day of fishing with Captain Ron!

Recently decided to go on a fishing trip here in San Diego and down into Mexico water. Captain Ron was very helpful from the start with getting the international day license to sharing what to pack for trip essentials. We arrived at the marina early, loaded the boat and within short time we were FISH ON! Best trip! Captain Ron was excellent. Highly recommended!
