About Your Trip

Come experience some of the best California Halibut fishing the San Francisco Bay has to offer! Whether you're a seasoned angler or stepping aboard for your first fishing trip, this outing is designed to be fun, hands-on, and memorable from the moment you leave the dock.

Depending on the conditions and what's producing best, you'll spend the day either trolling or drifting live bait in pursuit of hard-fighting California Halibut. These prized flatfish are one
of the Bay's most sought-after catches and are known for delivering excellent table fare along with exciting action when they hit.

When live bait is available, the trip often becomes a true multi-species adventure. In addition to targeting halibut, you'll frequently have the opportunity to fish for Striped Bass as well, giving you the chance to put two iconic San Francisco Bay game fish in the boat during the same trip.

One of the best parts of fishing the Bay is that no two days are exactly alike. You'll be fishing in a unique and scenic environment while working productive areas that regularly hold bait and feeding fish. Along the way, you'll learn about the techniques used to target these species and get plenty of opportunities to stay engaged throughout the trip.

All rods, reels, bait, and tackle are provided, so all you need to do is show up ready to fish. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler, introduce family members to fishing, or simply spend a great day on the water, this trip is built around creating an enjoyable experience for anglers of all skill levels.

The goal is simple: put you in the best position possible to catch fish while making sure you have a great time on the water. It's the kind of trip that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
