Captain Alan Clowers Charters

Captain Alan can do it all! We had a great time fishing for bluefin tuna. We were fortunate enough to see lots of activity but it was Captain Alan’s expertise that got us on fish without spooking them off, like some of the other boats were doing. We caught three bluefin, two of them were 80 lbs and the other was over 90! Also, Alan has a phenomenal young deckhand, Trevon. He was essential in helping us bring in those hard fighting monstrous fish! I highly recommend a private charter with Captain Alan if you want to fish with somebody who’s got years of expertise and wants to land you a big one just as bad as you do.

Thanks captain Alan! Great experience. We only caught one bluefin, but it was an 80 pounder (apparently they can get over 200), and one was enough to feed 4 of us for weeks. Got some great sashimi quality steaks out of this. Tough ¾ day for us with the bluefin schools south of Coronados… we were definitely not precision casters and the fish were moving fast. Alan & Dennis still made it happen with the kite rig set-​up.
Highly recommend the ¾ day if you can get to bluefin, height of season is apparently Aug-​Sept.

A++ experience. If you are considering any sort of fishing trip he is your captain. He has his finger on the pulse of San Diego fishing and it will be an absolutely excellent experience.
I have been on two trips with him and my family. I will not consider anyone but Captain Clowers. Both trips have been excellent and we went home with lots of tasty fish.

had a great time with alan we caught a lot of fish out on our bay trip really cool guy makes you feel like family 6 weeks and ill be back out with him. carlos sbfc

Had a great time with Captain Alan! Maxed out on our yellowtail limits, 15 in 3.5 hours, he really knows how to find the fish. It was a blast catch one after another. Would totally recommend taking a trip with Captain Alan anytime you are near San Diego.

Captain Clowers is the Fish Whisperer. A couple of years back, we took a Christmas Eve lobstering trip with him, which was an excellent experience. So we decided to try one of his tuna trips.
From the very start of our trip, it was clear he would not be satisfied letting us go home empty handed. Four of us headed out on a trip after some Yellowfin Tuna, with the captain and his deckhand. It took a few hours to find any bites, but Capt. Clowers used every resource he could, including following porpoise schools and near large kelp patties, and frequently checking in with many other fishermen on the water that day. Eventually, we found the bite, and once we found it, we couldn’t reel them in fast enough. We had all caught our limit by the end of the trip.
Captain Clowers meticulously cleaned our catch for us, and we brought home enough high-​quality tuna to last us for months. We will be fishing with Captain Clowers again, and would recommend him without any hesitation.

We all caught our limit in yellowtail! My wife and I did a full day with Captain Clowers and had an excellent time. He was on time, prepared and the upmost professional. He knew all the people on the bait barge, was very patient and respectful in teaching my wife how to fish and most importantly… he tracked down the fish! I highly recommend tapping into captain Clowers knowledge as he will save you time and money in the long run!

Captain Clowers took me and a few friends out yesterday September 7^th on a full day trip. It was my first time offshore fishing so I didn’t know what to expect. I had the time of my life! Captain Clowers got us into the fish and we caught 19 fish between the 4 of us! Very knowledgeable and friendly! I highly recommend you go catch some fish with him!!! 5 out of 5 stars!

I don’t normally write reviews. In fact this is my first review ever. I felt like I had to after the amazing time Captain Clowers and his first mate Trevin showed us for my buddy’s bachelor party last weekend. After a few hours of no action Captain Clowers looked at us and said don’t worry boys were gonna find these fish. Sure enough he was right. Off of pure insticts he took us from spot to spot. We ended up bagging around 21 fish. Yellowtail, mahi mahi and blue fin. Such a great experience. Going to book another trip with him this November.

Have you ever had the chance to experience being in a fishing boat where ever person with a fishing pole in their hand had a fish on? Well, thanks to Captain Alan Clowers, I can safely say that happened to us! We took a full day charter out and came back with a cooler full of fish. The Captain and his helpful deckhand made sure all the equipment was in order, and used their tremendous experience on the water to put me and 3 others onto fish. We caught dorado, yellowfin and yellowtail (18 in total), and had an amazing time.
As an added bonus, on the way out to the fishing spot, we ran into a school of dolphins who accompanied us on our way out. We also saw a massive Mako or Hammerhead shark at the fishing site, which also added to what was an amazing day.
I have a freezer full of fresh fish, and an unforgettable experience thanks to Alan Clowers. Thanks Captain, can’t wait to go out on the water again.

If you want to set sail with a fun captain, who knows where the fish are, dial up Captain Clowers. We headed out as a group of four for a ½ day with Captain Clowers to try our hands at some Guided August fishing here in San Diego. Captain Clowers and his first mate, Trevin, showed us a phenomenal time! Just an hour in, we knew that we wants to do more than half a day with these gents, and thankfully they not only allowed us to extend, but guided us to the Fish God’s private kelp patty, whereby we loaded up on dozens of Dorado, Bluefin, Yellowtail and Yellowfin. The crew was instructive, kind and had exactly the instincts needed for catching fish in San Diego. While there’s obviously always a bit of luck involved with fishing, we felt as though we were in the best possible hands with Captain Clowers the entire time, and highly recommend him if you are looking for a fishing excursion in San Diego. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

I had such an AMAZING time on my fishing trip with Al! Al confidently navigated us to where the fish were biting all throughout the day! As a 1^st timer deep sea fishing I was a little nervous I wasn’t going to know what to do, but as soon as we got to the first kelp patty, dropped in the line, I got a bite and Al was throwing on a belt for me to help me reel it in, instructing me as I went… Sure enough, I caught 2 tuna right off the bat! I ended up catching a handful of fish as big as me and left with a packed cooler! It was an amazing experience and I definitely can’t wait to do it again!

Fantastic day on the water. Captain took us exactly where the fish were biting and had an endless supply of fish in the boat. He then suggested we get a little more adventurous and go after the big guys. Success there as well. Can’t wait to go out on the water again with 800-​Fish.

A buddy of mine and I went on a fishing trip with Capt. Clowers yesterday and had a BLAST! I didn’t expect to catch much after reading the fishing reports from the big open party boats. I called Alan and he booked us for a morning bay trip. We fished for bass and caught 21 in 2 hours. Nearly every cast, there was another fish on the line! Then we went to another part of the bay to try for sharks and ended up catching nearly 20 sharks and bat rays. It was an unbelievable trip and we lost count after 21, but I would estimate between 35 – 40 fish in 5 hrs in early February. We are definitely going to book him again for Tuna in the spring if we can make it back to San Diego. Once the trip was over, he fileted the fish and gave us ideas on how to cook them.
I highly recommend Capt. Clowers for any fishing you want to do in the San Diego area.

Captain Clowers was fantastic. We will book our charter with him in the future! Thank you Cap’n! We loved our experience! See you next time! Vigils/​Agnews

Went out with captain Clowers first of the year. What a great experience for the three of us never caught fish in any bay like we did with captain Clowers. He is very knowledgable with all aspects of fishing especially San Diego bay. Very trust worthy comfortable boat and top notch gear. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to caught fish in the bays

Captain Alan took my wife and I fishing for a half day on San Diego bay. He clearly knows what works and where to find fish. Even though October is not the best season for fishing in San Diego we caught plenty of fish. His 24′ boat is the perfect for a small –2 to 4 — person charter. We had a blast! I am already planning a trip for next summer with a couple of guys from work!
