Great trip fishing in SF bay
Half Day Trip (PM) – The SF Bay on March 31, 2024
We were very thankful for accommodating our group on Easter. Fishing Captain Alex and Captain Tom ensured we had a great time. We caught 3 halibut and one striped bas. They ensured hands on experience which we very much appreciated. We were 6 people and everyone had a great time. Highly recommended! Happy fishing to all

Full day trip with captain Mike
Full Day Trip on August 14, 2022
What a great day out on the water with Captain Mike and his deckhand Lucas! We went out for salmon caught a 22lb 25lb and 30 pounder along with others. The fishing wasn't as hot as expected but they worked hard to get us some of the most fish of the day out of all the boats regardless of the conditions. It's easy to call yourself good when the fishing is hot but it's how good you are when you have to work for it and they certainly did just that. Defiantly would recommend to anyone who asks

Half Day on the Bay
Half Day Trip (PM) – The SF Bay on August 12, 2022
We had a great time on the bay, fishing the best catch for the afternoon outing. (go early if you want a chance at the salmon) All in all it was great, wild life, incredible views of the bay, great captain, that had us in the right places to get the best catches. This was our company Summer trip, and the crew was all smiles. Highly recommend The SF Bravo, Captain Brent and team.
