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. We enjoyed it so much that we booked another tour the day before we left. Highly recommend! These guys were great!

Awesome and Honest
TC was a nice, friendly, energetic, and honest guy. We had scheduled pier fishing for our honeymoon. When we got to the pier TC found that the fishing conditions were not ideal due to a lot of washed up seaweed. He was honest in the fact that we would likely not catch anything if we continued to fish at the pier. He offered to take us right then to another spot that would be cleared up, or we could go the next day. We chose the next day, due to other scheduled plans. The second spot was great. We caught 8 fish, 4 different species, in 2 hours. We fish regularly, but not in the ocean. TC met us on our level and gave us tips, but also let us do more on our own since we had experience. He was knowledgeable about the location, fish, and bird species around. We really appreciated his honesty and the fact he didn’t want to take our money if we weren’t going to have a good time.

My son and I did the 10am...
My son and I did the 10am fishing today off the pier. While the weather was fine, our fishing was not. We didn’t catch a single fish. I’m a little upset. And yes that’s how fishing goes sometimes, but when you spend a good amount to do it, it’s just aggravating. The guys that worked on the pier were friendly and gave us bait when we needed it, but didn’t really offer to help or give advice. Maybe next time we will do deep sea fishing instead. The pier is probably just out fished every day.
Response from the operator: Hello Morgan. Sorry that you didn't catch a fish in the 2-Hour time slot. The Spot fin Croakers showed up this morning. As you mentioned it's fishing. We most definitely can't control what shows up or when they bite. I also offer deep sea fishing trips. Even on a boat we can't make them bite. Sometimes the fish are spawning or just got done feeding. The water is still heating up. We went from the winter conditions to the spring run. Now they're on the move and feeding..

Very friendly and professional, poor value
The description made us think the experience was going to entail more than fishing from the pier, and immediately next to the bait shop. Our guide is a great guy - we enjoyed his company and service. Our guide did what he could to help us catch fish which was appreciated. Net / next - excellent service- I would hire our guide again - yet I feel misled on what the 3 of us would get in exchange for the $225.
Response from the operator: Good morning this is TC the fishing guide. I'm glad that you enjoyed your guide.Yes we have been fishing the Surf Zone which is close to the bait shop. This time of year fish are feeding on the sand crabs 🦀 That's why we where using shrimp. Target species Surf Perch ,Corbin ,Yellowfin Croakers , Leopard Shark, Guitar Sharks as well as Halibut. Now when it comes to fishing especially from the pier we can't control when they bite or which species will show up. But we're ready for them when they do decide to bite🎣. You mentioned that you where mislead about what you got for 3 individuals which included bait and tackle rods and reels plus a guide. The water is still heating up so we went with the bait and wait rig

Why this scores 65
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 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 36 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 13 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.
