If you're going to cast a line in Berkeley, look no further than Reel Addiction Sportfishing.

Around here it's common to catch Halibut, Lingcod, Albacore Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Salmon, Crab, Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Rockfish, Black Rockfish, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You'll be casting lines from a 34' Duckworth sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it 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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Reel Addiction Sportfishing!

Perfect Experience
Whole Boat Halibut and Bass on April 23, 20266 adults
6 fishermen caught 11 Halibut and one Bass of legal+ size as well as many many more shorts. Strong and steady boat with expert rods and reels. The mate kept the lines untangled, baited and managed flawlessly. While the captain kept us moving through productive fishing areas the mate kept his eye on the rods for bites yet engaged with us with conversation and stories as well as banter. Serious boat ethics yet fun guides. We had a great time and you will too.
Reported catch:
Striped Bass

Reel Addiction out of Berkeley.
Crab Combos (Crab, Rockfish) on September 4, 20254 adults
This was the best trip I have ever been on. Having had my own boat and been on several boats before I was shocked how much I didn’t know. The Captain and deck hand were unbelievable with their knowledge and just down right great people. Definitely would recommend the Reel Addiction to anyone who wants to learn more about fishing and catching fish. Can’t wait to book them again. Unbelievable experience I will never forget. Thank you Reel Addiction. Dave.

Crab Combo (Crab,Rockfish) on October 26, 20253 adults1 child
We had an awesome time! I came out from NC, visting family and friends, and decided to go fishing with my brother and 13 year old. niece. The Captain and Deck Hand were top notch and we caught our limits of striper! I couldn’t give a better recommenation. Just go fishing on this boat and you won’t regret it. I’m definitely booking again the next time I’m in the Bay Area.
