For private sportfishing charters out of Encinitas, Stock Charters runs light-tackle inshore and bay trips across San Diego's coastal waters with a maximum of four anglers per outing. Trips target spotted bay bass, halibut, bonito, croaker, yellowtail, and bonefish across San Diego Bay and nearshore kelp zones, departing from a coastline shared with Cardiff by the Sea lodging properties including Cardiff by the Sea Lodge. The operation brings more than 1,200 logged guiding days to the charter, covering both bay structure fishing and offshore runs for tuna and yellowtail depending on seasonal migration patterns. The light-tackle approach emphasizes casting and sight-fishing techniques over trolling, producing the same locally caught species featured at Cardiff by the Sea seafood destinations including Fish 101. The 20-foot Sea Fox center console carries GPS and chartplotter electronics for marking structure, reefs, and bait concentrations, with a live-well system for maintaining live bait through full-day sessions.
