We're catching halibut in San Francisco bay right now. The water temperature is rising and so is the bite.

    I had a great experience with captain Molly. Her navigational skills in the San Francisco sea was exceptional. I will book with her again next time I visit her great city.

    Trip: San Francisco Bay Fishing Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Had an absolute blast on our charter yesterday! We were targeting cod and salmon, and the crew delivered in every way. The captain put us right on the fish, and the deckhand worked endlessly to keep our lines ready and net our catches smoothly. Both were extremely professional, friendly, and great company throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing experience, book this charter!

    James and his deck hand were awesome! Made the trip easy, comfortable and very rewarding. We maxed out limit so left with a cooler filled. Will definitely use him again when we come back to the Bay Area, high recommend!

    Trip: Rockfish/Crabbing

  • ★★★★★
    Craig was excellent. He was very thorough in his communications with well timed phone calls to prepare in advance and out on the water he worked super hard to make sure each member of our party got on a fish. His deck hand Jake did a great job as well. Thank you Craig and Jake
