The San Diego fishing scene is buzzing with activity as anglers eagerly embrace the new season. As of March 2, 2026, reports indicate that the New Seaforth's morning half-day trip yielded impressive results, with catches totaling 105 Whitefish, alongside 4 Sheephead and 7 Sculpin. "It was a successful trip, and we’re seeing great action on the water as we head into the spring," said a representative from Seaforth Landing.
As regulations shift, there's good news for Sheephead enthusiasts. Effective March 1st, the bag limit for Sheephead has been raised to 2 per angler. This change is welcomed news for local fishers, enhancing the opportunity to bring home valuable catches.
Looking ahead, the Polaris Supreme is ready to set sail on its much-anticipated first trip of the year. Scheduled to depart on March 13 at 10 AM, this three-day expedition will focus on Bluefin Tuna. "This is a great opportunity for anglers to get out there and target these fish early in the season," noted the crew. Reservations are already being filled as eager fishers aim to secure a spot for what is expected to be an exhilarating trip.
In March, the San Diego will also launch its Coronado Islands Full Day Schedule, increasing chances for anglers looking to explore more diverse waters. Notably, a valid passport or passport card is necessary for all passengers, emphasizing the importance of preparation for those heading out to sea.
As fishing conditions improve with warmer weather, local fishing fleets are gearing up for a busy season ahead. From the variety of catches reported to the excitement of upcoming trips, the San Diego offshore fishing community is buzzing with anticipation for what lies ahead in 2026. For those considering a fishing trip, the current season presents an excellent opportunity to experience thrilling offshore adventures.
