January is a great time for crabbing! You won't find many charter boats running trips at this time of year, but shore fishing can be excellent. Maybe you could even land a Leopard Shark, which is always fun.

If you're eager to mix things up a little, try clamming at low tide, or fish the incoming tide for Perch and Flounder. The weather is heating up already, and anglers are preparing for the peak fishing season.

Rockfish season is just around the corner. Until then, most catches will consist of Crab and Leopard Sharks. It's also possible to fish for Halibut most years, which means you could go home with a few nice fish fillets.

Spring is here and Rockfish are open to harvest! In years when plenty of Squid are around, White Seabass will start showing up to feed on them. As always, you can count on plenty of Crab.

Halibut fishing starts to heat up in May. By now, Bodega Bay fishing charters are fully up and running, carrying anglers offshore to catch Lingcod, Rockfish, and more.

June is one of the best times for fishing in Bodega Bay. You can expect clear, sunny skies all month, with temperatures in the eighties, and plenty of fish. Chinook Salmon season is open and Rockfish are at their peak.

Salmon season is in full swing, with plenty of 20 lb fish on the horizon. Halibut are also biting left and right, which makes bottom fishing especially productive. The season for Dungeness Crab will close this month.

Dungeness Crab are off the menu, but you can still catch plenty of other Crab species in Bodega Bay. Salmon fishing is still going strong, while Rockfish, Halibut, and Seabass are all at their peak.

Come September, ocean Salmon are scarce. But the Tuna action offshore makes up for it! Fall boasts some of the best weather of the year, so indulge in smooth sailing and some awesome catches.

You can still catch Albacore offshore, along with almost every other species. With only a few days of rain forecast this month, you can expect fair weather and a full cooler at the end of the day.

Dungeness Crab season opens with a bang when these delicious critters are at their peak! Fishing for Lingcod is excellent, and you can also target Rockfish and Halibut while you're at it.

December marks some of the coldest and wettest weather of the year, with average temperatures slipping back down, but have no fear! Bodega Bay continues to offer superb bottom fishing and crabbing.
