First-Time Sea Fishing Made Easy and Fun!
My husband and I came down to San Diego for our honeymoon and decided to try fishing, and we had such an amazing experience! Our guide, TC, was fantastic and so much fun to be around. He helped us with all of our bait, taught us plenty of fishing tips and tricks, and was incredibly patient while we were figuring everything out. We fished for about two hours and ended up catching 7 fish! 🎣 TC was positive and encouraging the entire time and taught us about the different species and sea creatures we came across. One of the things we appreciated most was that he made sure to capture plenty of pictures and videos throughout the experience, so we could simply enjoy ourselves and still have all those memories afterward. Overall, we had an amazing time. TC made the experience fun, easy, and memorable for both of us. It was such a great activity to do during our honeymoon, and we would absolutely recommend TC to anyone looking to go fishing in San Diego!

Bait and Switch experts, not worth your time or money
A pathetic Bait and Switch operation with unqualified, unprofessional “instructor” kid. I booked this weekend the two-hour session from their official website. The morning I was to attend, I got a text from the owner “TC” stating another person would meet me at the tackle shop. The other person resulted to be an unqualified 18-year old kid, very charismatic and funny, but who failed to provide a good experience or any knowledge transfer. He clearly does not have teaching experience and came underprepared, more so than people who go fishing at the pier. Failures: 1. everyone at the pier carried either a bucket or icebox for caught fish. our instructor had none and this was a problem because, 2. the only fish caught during the two hour session happened early on, about 10 minutes into the demo (all I can call this “experinece” is a demo). We stated we wanted to gut it, clean it, take it home. the “instructor” say he would show us, but proceeded to throw the fish on the pier floor and leave it there saying “it will be allright”. he continued his explanations and two minutes later the fish was gone, taken by seagulls. 3. when I asked if he can show me how to tie a hook to a line, he indicated he failed to bring any rope to teach us, but I should just “google it and watch some fishing videos on youtube”. 4. he failed to provide basic information, like the rod part names and purposes, until prodded. he glazed over things he might know as second hand, but the three participants (who all stated has no previous experience) don’t know and would benefit from learning. I wasted $150 in a learning session where we spent more time listening to our instructor’s exploits (he bragged about how much fish he catches, bragged about how many unpaid parking tickets he has from the local restaurants, and how they will never come after him, and he shared he doesn’t need to buy food in months thanks to how good a fisherman he is). But we failed to have a positive learning experience. Don’t waste your time or money here. Ask before you go who will be your “instructor” and ask what credentials they have. Beware of last minute switches and the quality of the people’s ability to share and impart knowledge. No doubt charismatic and funny, but those are not the key attributes for any activity guiding people in a new activity. I will next research how to request a refund for this pathetic experience. I am at a loss of words how to describe the “instructors” answers to me where regularly “I can’t show you now because <excuse>, just look it up in youtube”. Worst $150 spent in my life living in San Diego.

Great experience!!!
My husband and son had such an amazing time fishing off the pier with TC's fishing adventures. Our guide Chris did an outstanding job! His knowledge and energy really made it a great experience.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.
How much does TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.
Is TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Diego?
+
San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Diego?
+
March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Diego?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours?
+
Included: Fishing poles, Bait and tackle, line and fishing lures. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours?
+
Your fishing guide will contact you in advance on where to meet. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is TC'S FISHING ADVENTURES! 2-Hour Fishing Tours offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
