Captain Justin and Joe created a wonderful experience for us. Clear communication, timely, very professional, and helped us each catch 2 large halibut fish. They work so seamlessly as a team, everything clicked along, and they generously stayed out on the water a bit longer so we could all go home with 2 catches. What a gem, right here in Alameda. We would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

My son and I had the best time today. The fishing was great, the scenery around the bay… spectacular and best of all, both captain and crew were fantastic! We kept moving as needed to find fish and we laughed the entire time.  We learned a lot about the area and brought home so much fish!! We’d never caught halibut before so that was a lot of fun and you cannot beat the price. The boat is very well maintained and extremely comfortable. Hit them up for a trip!!

Had a blast fishing with Cpt Justin and Joe on their beautiful boat. Started out just behind Alcatraz and hooked up with some nice Halibut. Switched spots and got on em again plus caught some stripers in the process. Justin was a great captain and very informative and the same goes for Joe. They had obviously worked together and did so well. When we got back to dock Joe cleaned and filleted the fish and gave great ideas for meals. Couldn’t have had a better time. Thanks guys!

We picked the Codfsther to take our son and his friends out for a birthday fishing trip and we all had a great time.  The captain did everything the could find the good spots for us and as a result Everyone caught their limit of halibut on a day when very few other boats did so. The boat itself was fantastic, with plenty of room to fish and a comfortable spot to be inside when needed. We will definitely look to book another trip soon!

Captain Justin and deckhand Joe were top notch in their experience of the fishing grounds and most importantly in their knowledge of fishing technique. We were into Halibut in the first 15 minutes and continued to have luck pretty much throughout the day. We even ended with a lightning fast 7 butts in 15 minutes without missing one. Do yourself a favor and book these guys fast. I know I’ll be back. Thanks Justin and Joe. Hammerdown Fishing!
