Experience the Thrill of Full-Day Fishing

Introduction to Full Day Fishing

Full Day fishing (previously known as 3/4 day fishing) is an exciting style of trip that delivers the thrills of big game fishing without the time commitment of a longer trip. If you have ever wanted a taste of big game fishing, then a full day is the trip for you!

Our goal at Liberty Sportfishing is to ensure you have an amazing fishing trip! So whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced angler, you can rest assured that you will be well taken care of.

What To Expect on Your Trip

Your trip starts by checking in at the Fisherman's Landing office where our friendly office staff will guide you through the check-in process. The staff will give you you're ticket and set you up with rental tackle if you need it.

The office staff will then collect your passport & Mexican fishing permit (if you have one, if not it is included in the ticket price) for the Mexican Visa process. If the trip is scheduled to go to the Coronado Islands, It is very important to remember to bring a valid passport! (If your trip is scheduled to go offshore, no passport is needed) If you would like to learn more about what you need to do to fish legally in Mexico, click the link HERE

Once you have finished checking in you can then browse the tackle shop for any items you need. Once you are finished in the tackle shop head outside to check in with a Liberty crew member that will have a table set up, at this point you can reserve a bunk for $5 to rest in while the boat heads out to the fishing grounds. You are now ready to head down to the boat and begin your voyage.

Where are we fishing & What can we catch?

The California Yellowtail is the most sought after species aboard the Liberty’s 3/4 Day trips. Yellowtail commonly weigh between 10 and 25 pounds and are by far one of the most exciting gamefish to be caught anywhere.

They will readily take a live bait, vertical yoyo jig, or surface iron (Note for beginners: if this sounds confusing to you, do not fret because we can help you learn, the crew on the boat and the tackle shop employees are experts and will make sure you are setup for success.)

Once hooked, a yellowtail will do anything to gain its freedom. Pound for pound they fight as hard as any fish in the sea and they will try to bury into any nearby structure. Landing a Yellowtail is truly a great experience.
