San Diego 6-pack charter fishing boat

With over 26 years of expertise with San Diego saltwater fishing, Nathan and his knowledgeable and friendly crew can provide you with expertise on the seasonal bites and the best "hotspots" off of San Diego and Mexico waters. The forty foot "The Long Run" will provide your group with a memorable fishing trip.

The Long Run Sportfishing Charter specializes in trips as short as 1/2 day trips (6 hours) to 2.5 days. Each trip will be tailored to the season's bite and what you want to catch. The 24 hour plus trips target Albacore, Yellowtail, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Dorado, Sharks, and Marlin during the warmer months. The shorter half day 6h hour and 3/4 day 15 hour trips often target San Diego's Yellowtail, Bonito, Barracuda, or bottom fish such as Ling Cod, Sculpin, Sand Bass, and Halibut. Just outside San Diego Harbor we can find Rock fish, Kelp fish, and much more.

If shark fishing is something you wanted to try, then our evening and night trips are the perfect time to catch Mako and Thresher sharks. We are very conservation oriented with regard to sharks as they only produce a few offspring per year. Over fishing is a definite concern particularly with Longliners of the coast of Southern California. We strongly advocate catch and release, so we avoid killing sharks under 80 pounds and over 140 pounds and try to take only males to preserve these fascinating creatures. Our vision is to preserve the future of sport fishing for future generations by respecting this spectacular resource.

The Long Run is eco-friendly being very fuel efficient, which limits sickness from diesel fumes, reduces noise and passes the savings on to our clients.

"The Long Run" is also available for private parties, bay cruises, whale watching, and more. It is your trip and would goal is to create a custom trip for every party. We are very hands on with a maximum of two anglers per crew member to assist anglers from every experience level.
