IA Born Report post Posted January 3, 2016 I seem to have lost the "Where we're going for spring break" discussion. I pushed for a long weekend on the San Juan, but it looks like we're ging to San Diego. I do, however, have the go-ahead to plan a fishing trip (family trip) for a day! I know there are tons of boats and charters over there from a quick search. Can anyone here make some recommendations for a good, quality outfit that has half-day trips (only option given) and won't break the bank? I know you get what you pay for, but this isn't my first rodeo on booking charters. I want something reasonably priced that will have my kids (11 & 8) on fish, having fun, but not land us on Gilligan's Island. I appreciate any help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siwash Report post Posted January 4, 2016 The San Diego out of Seaforth usually runs 3/4 day trips, so if you can manage that go for it. The captain on the San Diego is excellent. If not the New Seaforth does AM/PM half day trips. I have fished with Point Loma and Seaforth in last year and think the boats and crew out of Seaforth are solid.

IA Born Report post Posted January 4, 2016 I looked into the San Diego and a 9-10 hour day isn't going to work. I saw the New Seaforth 1/2-day trips, but I'm actually hoping for a smaller boat for just me and my family. I probably wouldn't do well in a big boat setting. Any ideas/recommendations for a smaller boat that is for 4-6 people? Thanks for the input so far, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siwash Report post Posted January 4, 2016 Back in the spring this member: murfys69law said he booked a private charter for $450, maybe try asking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted January 4, 2016 You will need to look up "six pack" charters. Pricey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flash Report post Posted January 5, 2016 I didn't fish with him, but discussed a trip with him last spring and he seemed like a potential good option for a small family type trip.
