Thresher Shark
San Diego offers anglers a fantastic opportunity to target thresher sharks in the Pacific. The waters off the coast are known for their healthy population of these impressive predators, and what sets San Diego apart is the relatively mild climate, allowing for a longer fishing season compared to other locations. The best time to target threshers here is generally from late spring through fall. Focus your efforts around kelp paddies and areas with significant depth changes. A practical tip is to use a balloon to keep your bait suspended at the desired depth, as threshers often feed higher in the water column. Multiple marinas offer access to the open ocean, but be sure to check local regulations regarding shark fishing and reporting requirements. The thresher shark population here is carefully managed to ensure a sustainable fishery.
