Fishing on Crystal Pier - We had a good experience despite the weather and not catching anything 🤷 But that's how it goes with fishing.

Great first step into fishing - This was a great activity to do with our 6 year old grandson who had never fished before. Angel, our instructor, was kind and patient and very experienced with helping kids and adults bait, cast, and catch fish. Our grandson caught his first fish and in 2 hours we caught and released two stingrays, 3 smelt and and a perch!
Location on Crystal Pier was perfect.

Great pier fishing experience! - I went with my teenage son. We booked a last minute trip while we were already on vacation. They were very friendly and informative showing us how to cast, set the drag etc. We caught fish and they took pictures for us. They let my son put on new bait, clear his own seaweed etc. but would have done it for him if he didn't want to haha. My son enjoyed talking to them and would have stayed all day! I would definitely book again if back in the area. It was nice to have a shorter timeframe than the usual half or full day options.

Highly recommend! - A great fishing experience! Chris was an excellent guide, provided all equipment and gave excellent instruction. Fishing off the pier is an excellent way to fish the ocean and not get sea sick. Ended the evening catching a leopard shark! So much fun!

We had an amazing time fishing with TC - TC is an amazing fishing guide! Very knowledgeable and patient with my questions. I love fishing, but don't have a lot of experience even though I'm visiting from another fishing paradise, Florida. I feel a lot more confident now having spent time with TC. It is very evident that he has a love for his art and a gift for teaching. Crystal Pier is a beautiful setting with its historical cottages and quaint neighborhood in beautiful Pacific Beach. I will definitely be booking this tour again on my next trip to San Diego.

It would have been nice... - It would have been nice to know that one can rent their own fishing pole and bait, and it does not require having an instructor
