Looking to go fishing in Bodega Bay? Lucky Penny Sport Fishing is your ticket! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Bill can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Bluefin Tuna, Albacore Tuna, Lingcod, Rockfish, Crab, Chinook Salmon, California Halibut, and more. With any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.

Feel free to bring home some of the fish you catch within size and bag limits. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. How's that for fresh seafood?

Trips with Lucky Penny Sport Fishing are great for kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 30' pilothouse boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a first mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

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.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Lucky Penny Sport Fishing!
