San Diego Fishing Report

San Diego is a local + coastal month: plan around the local half-day to full-day schedule. Expect the local mix to be steady and bottom-focused. Rockfish and lingcod are closed in California ocean waters January 1 to March 31, so don’t plan on those locally. If you want a real shot at winter yellowtail (and rockfish/lingcod), watch for 1.5-day Colonet trips—Colonet trips require a passport.
