Times and Prices
We can launch from a number of different ramps in San Diego Bay
depending on the fishing conditions, target species and the plan for the day. We
will determine our exact plan during the week before our trip. En La
Mosca is a flat bottom bass-style boat that is designed for relatively calm
days. If it gets windy we will move to
protected areas or may ultimately come in early if things become dangerous or
unfishable. Fortunately this does not
happen often. Our safety is obviously
the most important aspect of any trip.
Below are approximate departure times and costs for En La Mosca
Adventures trips. You will see a 50% discount if you bring a
child under 16. One of my goals is for kids to learn and enjoy fishing at an early
age.

Clothing
Even though San Diego has a mild climate you need to be prepared for
some cool temperatures early in the morning and wind as the day
progresses. My recommendation is to
always dress in layers:
- Wide brim hat, particularly if you are fly
fishing.
- Protective eye wear if you are fly fishing
(I have an unlucky story about this for you!)
- Polarized sunglasses
- Wind breaker or light jacket
- Fleece or lined under jacket/sweat
shirt/sweater
- Long pants or shorts depending on weather
- Running or deck shoes (sandals not recommended)
- Sunscreen
