San Diego offers a shark fishery unlike any other. Here you have a chance to sight fish for mako sharks on the fly. The San Diego waters are a nursery for the short fin mako shark, which is why so many sharks ranging from 80 to 150 pounds are seen. These amazing sharks have the capability of peeling backing off your reel at speeds of 35 mph while jumping and twisting up to ten feet in the air before hitting the water and doing it again. While in the San Diego area you can also choose to battle a yellowfin tuna, explore the inshore fishery for yellowtail, barracuda or calico bass or fish the bay for bonefish.
