Josie Mac Sportfishing

Captain Ken is as laid-back as they come, the kind of guide who makes you feel at home the moment you step aboard his 2015 39’ Pursuit Sportfisher. Running trips out of Berkeley, he’s logged countless hours on these waters and loves nothing more than sharing what he’s learned. If you like a captain who talks you through the why—not just the how—he’s your guy.

Ken’s style is equal parts calm and encouraging. Whether you’re trying your first drift for halibut or fine-tuning your jigging rhythm for striped bass, he’ll walk you through every step with patience and a grin. And when a sturgeon decides to test your grit, he’ll be right there giving tips, cheering you on, and making sure you enjoy every second of the fight.

Using a mix of bottom fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, and other tried-and-true techniques, Captain Ken puts you in the best position to hook the Bay Area’s favorite species. He believes the only real way to learn is on the water—with good company, good conversation, and plenty of hands-on experience.
