Porbeagle
San Diego offers a chance to pursue Porbeagle sharks off the Southern California coast. The waters off San Diego benefit from the California Current, bringing nutrient-rich waters that support a diverse ecosystem, including Porbeagles. While available year-round, the late summer and fall months often see increased activity. Focus your efforts on areas with underwater canyons and steep drop-offs, as these are known Porbeagle hunting grounds. Drift fishing with live mackerel or sardines is a popular and effective technique. A local tip is to pay attention to the presence of seals and sea lions, as Porbeagles often hunt in the same areas. Shelter Island and Mission Bay offer various boat ramps and charter options for accessing the offshore fishing grounds. Be prepared for long runs to reach the prime fishing spots, and always check local regulations regarding shark fishing.
