    For anyone looking for a phenomenal day of fishing, I highly recommend BayTime Charters & Captain Samuel! He treated our teenage boys to a day of learning, lessons & a world class fishing experience that they will always remember & we look forward to booking him many more times in the future! Captain Samuel shared his skill & expertise & really helped our boys enjoy this awesome adventure to its fullest! He even prepared our day by catching baitfish & had everything, all rods ready to go perfectly. With his guidance, our family caught fish all day & we were able to keep quite a lot of them after he kindly prepared them for us, all ready to grill delicious! I recommend this Captain for any age & skill level, but if you are looking for someone perfect for a family outing, this is the Captain, so patient, he helped us with every hook, every detail, explained about the proper lengths of fish, told us interesting stories about his life growing up on these waters & history of the area. I really enjoyed & appreciated the time he gave us! We are hooked & we will be back!!!!

    Our Captain, José, was so great with our family. He was extremely patient and helped us catch more fish than we ever expected. The wind and waves were challenging but he navigated us to an excellent area for catching fish. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and will re- book with José Salazar on our next trip.

    I took my dad out on a six hour trip for his birthday. Shaun and my dad hit it off . How could you not? The captain seems to be a great dude, that really enjoys what he does! And how can you not? The waters were picturesque...right out of a Hemingway book! Even before the trip began, Shaun was in constant contact, and made the whole trip easy and painless! I'd highly recommend this trip to you.

    We had never been deep sea fishing and wanted to try it out. Larry and Ky were the best captain and crew we could have asked for. They were so knowledgeable and friendly. We cought tons of fish, saw whales, and seals. I would highly recommend using these two for your next fishing trip. All the fish we kept they cut up and packaged for us!

About Silver Hake fishing

Size
1–4 lbs
Food Value
Excellent
Game Quality
Good

Silver Hake fishing is a fun, fast-paced way to target schooling Groundfish with a mild, tasty fillet. Also called Whiting by many anglers, Silver Hake gather over sandy or muddy bottoms and feed in flurries. They strike eagerly, making them a great option for beginners and families.

You will usually catch them by bottom fishing or vertical jigging. Simple high-low rigs with small hooks work well. Tip them with squid, fish strips, or clam, and keep baits near the bottom. Small metal jigs or teasers also draw quick bites when fish are stacked.

Expect steady action when a school is under the boat. The fight is lively but manageable, so kids and first-timers do well. Bring layered clothing, a hat, and sunscreen. Pack snacks, water, and any seasickness relief you prefer. A medium spinning or conventional setup with sensitive rod tips helps detect light taps. Most charters provide tackle, but confirm before you go.

Regulations for Silver Hake vary by area and season. Always check local fishing license and permit rules before your trip. Review open seasons, allowed methods, and harvest limits for your location. Your captain can explain current rules on the day, but the final responsibility is yours.
