About Your Trip
Get ready for an incredible day on the water targeting Halibut and Striped Bass with Captain Joe! This trip offers two of the most thrilling fisheries in California, giving you the chance to reel in prized catches depending on the season. With Captain Joe’s 20+ years of experience and a passion for delivering VIP treatment to every guest, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure that combines top-notch fishing with unbeatable memories.
From May through September,
we’ll focus on California Halibut, one of the most sought-after species in these waters. These flat, powerful fish are famous for their tasty filets and hard-hitting bites, making them a blast to catch. Captain Joe knows all the best spots to find Halibut, from sandy flats to the deeper pockets of the Bay where these elusive bottom-dwellers like to hide. Get ready to feel that signature tug as a big Halibut strikes, and brace yourself for the challenge of reeling it in—these fish don’t give up easily! Captain Joe and his crew will set you up with the right bait and gear to maximize your chances, so all you have to do is enjoy the fight.
From October through April, we shift gears to target Delta Striped Bass, one of the most exciting game fish around. Known for their powerful runs and aggressive strikes, Stripers make every fishing trip a true adventure. Captain Joe will take you to the heart of the Delta, where these fish migrate during the cooler months, making it prime time for hooking into a trophy-sized Striper. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to fishing, Captain Joe’s expertise and guidance will ensure you’re in the best position to land these strong, feisty fish. And with the gorgeous Delta scenery as your backdrop, the experience is as rewarding as the catch.
Throughout the year, Captain Joe and his crew take care of everything you need for a successful day on the water. They’ll provide all the rods, reels, and tackle necessary for both Halibut and Striper fishing, as well as the freshest bait to attract these targeted species. At the end of the trip, they’ll even clean and fillet your catch, so you can head home with fresh filets ready for the grill.
A day with Captain Joe is more than just a fishing trip—it’s an experience filled with laughs, stories, and the joy of being out on the water. Captain Joe and his crew are dedicated to making every charter unforgettable, blending professionalism with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’re a seasoned pro, Captain Joe will make you feel right at home and ensure that you and your group have a fantastic time.
All you need to bring is your California fishing license and any food or drinks you’d like to enjoy throughout the day. With Captain Joe at the helm, you’re set for an incredible day targeting Halibut or Delta Stripers, depending on the season.
