Captain
Bill Clapp

Member since April 2018 Richmond, United States
Background
Capt. Bill has been fishing the waters of San Francisco Bay and beyond for more than 30 years. He's also been fishing the waters surrounding Sacramento for over two and a half decades now. That amount of fishing has given him tremendous knowledge on the local fish, that's he's keen on sharing with his customers. He's a true angler, spending 12 months of the year on the water – when he's not fishing he's maintaining his boat, exploring the waters, or looking for hotspots.
Techniques
driting the SF Bay or Trolling when necessary example when tides are slower. When live bait is availabe i use it!
