What anglers say about Dogfish fishing
- 5.0/5(5 Hour Trip)
will be coming back!
CPT ben and rashad were knowledgeable,able, friendly and created a great environment for my sons first fishing trip and the best part is they got us on the fish!!
- 5.0/5(6 Hour Trip - Back Bay)
Great Trip, even after last minute change due to weather
Great captain and first mate. Had to change our trip last minute from the In shore (20-30 miles off shore) to a bay trip but everything was still great. caught a ton of fish (no keepers) but it was still a lot of fun. The Captain is very knowledgeable and the first Mate was super attentive. I will be booking with them again. The boat is pretty big too with a nice wide deck.
- 5.0/5(5 Hour Trip – Inshore Shark Combo)
Perfect trip
Absolutely worth the money we caught enough shark for everybody on the boat to get some action and it’s a workout. It was interesting and we plan on doing it next year.
- 5.0/5(Half day shared)
Wonderful Small-Boat Custom Experience
We had a beautiful catch-and-release day with Captain Molly aboard her 30-foot boat, the Miss Molly. We had fantastic views of San Francisco and the Bay so, in addition to great fishing, we ended up with hard-to-get pictures of the city. I will definitely book another excursion with Captain Molly!
- 5.0/5(Half day trip - 1:00 PM)
Great trip!
We had a great time shark fishing. It was harder than we thought it would be, but the crew was very helpful along the way (especially with my 13 yr old daughter). Definitely a great experience!

Dogfish fishing is all about steady action and simple fun. Dogfish are small Sharks that bite often, fight hard for their size, and make a great first catch. Anglers target them for reliable bites, good teaching moments, and tasty fillets where allowed.
You can catch Dogfish by bottom fishing inshore or offshore, and sometimes while deep sea fishing. Drop bait like squid or cut fish on the bottom with a sinker and a strong leader. Surf fishing and pier fishing also work when fish move close to sandy or muddy bottoms.
Expect quick taps, short runs, and doubles when the school moves in. This is a relaxed, hands‑on trip that suits families, beginners, and anyone who wants lots of action. Bring layered clothing, non‑slip shoes, sun protection, and a cooler if your captain allows keeping fish. Handle with care around the sharp dorsal spines, and use circle hooks and pliers for easier releases.
Regulations for Dogfish fishing change by area and species. Always check local rules for fishing licenses or permits, seasons, and harvest limits before your trip, and follow your captain’s guidance on what you can keep.
