"Sea Bass" Fishing Charters

If you’re going to cast a line in Berkeley, look no further than "Sea Bass" Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Trung is prepared to put you on fish.

Halibut, Striped Bass, Rockfish, Lingcod, Chinook Salmon, Leopard Shark, and more inhabit these waters, depending on when you go. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner! 

Your boat for the day is a 55’ "Sea Bass" with room for 25 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods and reels are not covered by the charter, so message the captain about renting them or bring your own. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Kids are welcome aboard. Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available. Don’t leave home without snacks, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

"Sea Bass" Fishing Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Berkeley. So, how about booking that trip?

Crab/fish combo

VERIFIED   Rockfish/Lingcod and Crab Combo on November 3, 2024
Most of the time is spent watching them pull in crab pots. Very little time fishing (may 90-120 minutes in a 11-12 hour day)....
