Fishing in Alameda is one of the things San Francisco Bay is known for. Located in the central part of the bay, 'The Island City' also has easy access to the ocean, which makes the fishing scene more versatile. Among locals, one of the most visited fishing spots is the famous Alameda Rockwall, where you can target Halibut without technically leaving the city. Find a local fishing guide and discover other secret honey holes. 

 

There's always something to catch in Alameda but some seasons are better for certain species. You can target Sturgeon year round but you'll get the best results in winter. On the other hand, Salmon, Rockfish, and Tuna offer the hottest bite in summer. During summer, most guides hunt using 'potluck fishing,' which attracts all kinds of fish and you never know what's going to bend your rod. 

 

Another popular fish in the bay is Striped Bass. They may not be trophy-sized here, but there's surely lots of them! Leopard Shark, White Seabass, and Lingcod are the usual targets if you're staying in the bay. You'll find these grounds to be productive even on a half day trip, but it's better to take a full day trip if you're planning to try a few different spots or even go offshore.

 

Most fishing guides in the bay offer shared trips, so you don't have to give up on fishing the only one who wants to go. Join a crew, make new friends, and catch some fish on the way. Come fishing in Alameda and get the freshest fish meat, without even going to the market.
