NorCal Traditions Sportfishing 

Took my Dad on an all day Sturgeon trip, the morning started off extremely foggy and cold. But The Captain kept us in the game!! We were getting several bites in the beginning but nothing would stick. Captain moved locations a few times and finally we ended up catching the fish of a lifetime!!!! Me and my dad were extremely happy to say the least. I’m already looking to book our next trip They kept the poles baited and in the water and the Boat hand was extremely knowledgeable and persistent with making sure we got the what we came for Would recommend them to anyone looking for a great fishing trip 10/10

Great day on the bay! The captain and deckhand were awesome and worked really hard to find fish, moving to several different spots when the fish weren’t biting. They stayed positive, made the trip fun and we ended up with a great haul. It was a small group, which made for a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely go out with them again.

we had a great time with james and randy. all of us were catching halibut left and right all day. randy was an excellent deck hand. james and randy actually let us fish. randy baited hook and we done rest. did not feel like we were watching someone else fish for us. highly recommended and will definitely book with james again

Captain james and deckhand randy made the experience unforgettable. tapped into several big king salmon and almost limited out. great company and fantastic sashimi at the dock. You are in great hands with them. will be back.

active approach to finding bite opportunities by captain. no keeper halibut but my first striper limit and lots of halibut under legal limit. nice day on the bay

just needed to stay at one spot a little longer. target was halibut but we caught some nice stripers. over all great trip. Captain was great. Crew was helpfull. people who like fish.

I’ma single mom with two teens who grew up fishing in Minnesota. I know enough, but not much - so Captain James and DeckBoss Randy’s expertise and experience really shined. We’ve done several other charters and none have been as much fun, nor as successful as our trip with NorCal Traditions. James knew where to go and Randy was super helpful getting the fish in the boat! You can’t go wrong with this team and we look forward to future adventures!

I highly recommend James for a 2 to 4 person charter. We fished the San Francisco Bay and caught halibut, striper and leopard shark. Because of James‘s knowledge of the bay he was able to relocate us to all the hotspots. His boat was very comfortable and we had a good time. I look forward to the next trip with James.

On the car ride home, my kid said it was the happiest day of his life. He’ll be talking about this trip for a long time. Thank you Captain James and Randy! You guys were great and really patient.
