Captain Brent McLain is a local San Francisco fisherman and has worked in the boating and fishing industry for over 30 years. He grew up fishing Salmon and Rockfish on the Pacific Ocean and always had an affinity for being out on the water. He's a US Coast Guard Master Mariner with vast knowledge in local fisheries, boating, water safety, and diving operations. The only thing Capt. Brent loves more than catchin' big fish is helping others do the same and seeing the smiles on their faces once they finally land a keeper!

    Best team offsite, ever!

    Half Day – San Francisco Bay (PM) • 7 adults

    Captain Brent and Lincoln were so awesome and made our fishing charter offsite so easy and memorable. I am a total newbie when it comes to fishing and they were super patient and encouraging. Captain Brent plays some good tunes too - 10/10 would recommend!

    Being on the Bay is always the Best!

    Half Day Trip (PM) – The SF Bay • 12 adults

    Crew was super chill and accommodating. Our group (mostly novice) had a great time learning to fish the bay and simply being on the water in our beautiful city!!

    It was our first group deep sea fishing trip. Expectations were exceeded by Capt. Brent and crew. They were very knowledgeable. They were also very patient. We were having a tough time setting the hook after bites. Capt. Brent and crew showed us techniques to help. It was easy after the lessons. We caught our limit of striped bass (12). We also landed a sturgeon and a starry flounder. We did release the sturgeon because it was out of season. I will be booking with them for my next trip! Highly recommend.

What's biting with SF Boat Support in San Francisco

Salmon is closed for the season and the Striped Bass won't be biting as hard. But plenty of other fish are still around, including Halibut, Rockfish, and Lingcod. Set a few traps for Dungeness Crab on your way out.
