Fishing in Richmond

The Richmond fishing scene has a lot to offer, despite being overlooked! This little corner of the Bay features its own boardwalk and protected, rocky coastline – perfect for targeting a variety of species hiding out there.
 
Striped Bass, Sturgeon, and Chinook Salmon are the holy trifecta of the area, and with the right help and skill, you could easily catch a lunker in these waters. Halibut and Rockfish are also among the local favorites, both because they’re fun to catch and  delicious.
 
Richmond fishing charters usually depart from Marina Bay Yacht Harbor and offer a range of specialized trips. You can hit the bountiful nearshore fishing grounds or venture all the way to the open ocean to target Albacore Tuna.
 
Whether you go trolling for Salmon during their fall run or bottom fishing for Rockfish and Halibut, good fishing action here is all but guaranteed. In order to enjoy fishing in Richmond completely, you’ll need a valid fishing license, some drinks, and food to keep you sharp while you’re fighting your catch. The fishing riches of Richmond await!

My dad, my brother, and I went out today with Delta Fishing Charters for the first time. Both Captain Steve and Jeff the deckhand, were knowledgeable, hard working, and did a great job getting us on the fish. We fought tough conditions and brought home a cooler of fresh Striper and Halibut. We will definitely be back out there again with Delta Fishing Charters!

We got our halibut limit very fast, probably, faster then other boats from huge fleet on Sunday and we went for stripers. Once captain Steve found a school of baits we started fining for stripers. We continue catch and release after got or limit - stripers are great fighters. Thank you Steve for the trip. Once I empty my freezer I'll definitely go for another one.

My son asked me to book a fishing trip for him and his buddies. Two of his buddies flew in from other States and had never fished on a charter boat before. I found the Delta Sportsfishing boat and decided to give it a shot. Steve and Jeff were great and made our trip memorable. We caught halibut, striper, batray and even a small shark. Let's just say we left happy and went home and had an awesome fish fry. I highly recommend Delta Sportsfishing.

Captain John and Austin were great! John communicated with me from the time I booked and let me know exactly what we needed and where to meet. While it took us a few hours to catch some fish, the wait was worth it! We'll be sure to booked with him again when halibut season opens up.

Great communications prior to the trip. Then a Great, Clean, beautiful boat at a fantastic, convenient location. Then that boat with 600hp flew across the bay but felt smooth as a Cadillac. Anchored, and dropped lines in and BAM my grandkids and son were reeling in the leopard sharks. A fantastic memorable day with family and new friends.

Captain John was the best captain that I have ever had. We had a group of 4 and 3 of us have never fished. He took the time to not only teach us what to do but why we had to do it. He was funny and was very knowledgeable about the area and how to catch fish. We will definitely be chartering with him again!!

We had a great day fishing in the ocean for rock fish and long cod. We got on fish fast and caught more than we could have ever imagined. Non stop action all day long. The size of the fish were absolutely incredible. John and Austin were great company. We had a lot of laughs and hope to join them again someday on the water. Highly recommended. Thanks again for the great day John!

I booked this trip as part of a bachelor party for my buddy and we all had a blast. Captian John and his deckhand Austin were awesome and super knowledgeable. Real old school fishermen. I booked a half day for halibut and we almost hit our limit. Austin filleted them and sent us home with a cooler full of fish. 10/10 would book with addictive sport fishing again.

If you love great stories, pride of work and ownership, obvious skill and knowledge and a premium, productive fishing experience, then Captain John at Addictive Fishing is your ticket. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Totally worth every cent. Shout out to deckhand, Austin - the man knows how to fish and fillet like a samurai. Nicest fishing boat I’ve been on.

experience was great! Great conversation, great support from the first mate, knowledgeable captain. Was upfront about how a fishing was slow due to tides and the moon, but able to keep 5 fish for 6 anglers (threw back an additional 6 fish for being under the size limit so still had the thrill of hooking and reeling! great day on the water!
