Description

Specialties

Hi, I am Captain James Nelson. I am a full time, fully licensed, fishing guide. My specialties are families, and especially kids. As a father of four myself, I know what it is like to find a fulfilling adventure for the kids, where they have fun, and mom and dad don’t have to work hard at it. With me, you don’t. That’s my job.

With more than 20 species of fish to catch, San Diego Bay is the best fishery in the south west US. In the San Diego area, we also have easy access to some big largemouth bass, plenty of ocean fish from top (tuna and yellowtail) to bottom (lingcod and halibut).

I include everything you need for a full step-​on-​step-​off fishing adventure on the waters of San Diego.
