What To Expect

Meet your fishing instructor at San Diego's Crystal Pier on Ocean Boulevard, where your fishing experience begins. There's no need to bring anything as your guide will come equipped with everything you need, including fishing poles and bait. Listen to your guide lead you through the ins and outs of fishing, from tying bait if you’re a beginner to perfecting your technique if you’re more experienced with angling. Cast your lines and wait until you get a bite. As this is a catch-and-release experience, you'll quickly unhook whatever you catch and return it safely to the waters below.
