Here are a few considerations for a Coronado Islands trip: 

  • Semi-remote islands situated ~10 miles offshore, 15 miles south of San Diego offer incredible scenery and shelter on windy days
  • Islands have no full time human residents and exhibit marine bird and wildlife in its natural environment
  • Generally better chances to capture larger game species year round
  • The majority of the species targeted are great table fare (although keeping fish is not required)
  • Extremely high chance of success to capture various species
