Explore the amazing waters off the coast of California with The Codfather Sport Fishing! Captain Justin Young is a local angler with over 10 years of experience fishing these waters, and he’ll make sure to take you to the very best spots and honey holes in the area. He loves sharing his knowledge and has something to offer to every type of angler.
Hop aboard his 42’ Ocean Yachts Sportfish convertible boat, accommodating up to 6 anglers. There is a fully equipped restroom and access to a microwave should you wish to warm your food. There’s a flybridge to protect you from the sun, as well as all-new electronics, floors, and paint. And let’s not forget the large cockpit for landing that big catch!
There’s a variety of fish species that call these waters their home, and you can come and take your pick. Capt. Justin will put you on some of the most prized fish in the area, including Lingcod, Rockfish, Tuna, Salmon, Halibut, and Striped Bass. At the end of the trip, he’ll clean and fillet your catch, so it’s ready to go straight to the table upon your return.
All the gear and terminal tackle will be provided for you when you book a trip. You’re welcome to bring your own equipment if you wish so. If you’re having a birthday gathering, let the captain know in advance and he’ll make it a very special trip.
Always extra “points” for those who bait their own hooks and have more experience, but for the first-timers, of course, the crew is there to teach you how to fish and guide you every step of the way. Most importantly, you will need at least a 1-day fishing license that can be purchased online from the CA Department of Fish and Game for roughly $17.00
Book a trip with The Codfather Sport Fishing and come enjoy a fun-filled on the waters of California!

Halibut/Striper Private Group
It wasn't for lack of trying. The 4 stars isn't a reflection on amount of fish or crew either. It is just a note of fishing style and taste. Joe was so on it, anyone is lucky to be with him. That honestly was the only "down" comment in the group. He was so on top of things, there wasn't enough "fishing" for some. Bait was on, fish were out and netted. 1000% a wonderful job. Some were just used to a little more bumbling along and making their own mistakes. Skunked was just the day, it happens, sounded like it happened to the whole bay, bummer for all, but a bad day fishing is better than a day at work, so happy anyway. My family had a great time, thank you for all the work put in. I know many have and will be spoiled by you and love it all the more.

Captain Justin and Joseph were a complete pleasure to fish with. I've been on a few charters but this one will definitely get my business again going forward. They went above and beyond for us and we caught limit with no problem. I appreciate the memories that were created today.

Amazing trip had such a great time. The onboarding process was very simply and the deckhand was very helpful and they have a space where if you get sick you can sit inside and feel comfortable. Best part was that we came home with fish

Slow start due to previous days wind and muddy water, but Captain Justin got us on some nice Striper and one really nice Halibut. Joe kept the deck running smoothly and overall, great trip!
