I started fishing at the early age of 6 on my grandfather six-pack boat for Salmon, Striped Bass, and Rockfish in San Francisco Bay's outside ocean on the Marin coast. I loved to go fishing with my grandfather and helping him with the boat. I got my captain license in 1992 and worked in Halfmoon Bay for different charter boat companies running the Huli Cat Capt. Jon Blue Horizon Princton Special, then worked out of Emeryville on the Capt. Hook. I also lived in a Alaska for 8 years, worked for charter boat services in Sitka and Ninilchick fishing for Halibut, Salmon, Rockfish, and Lingcod.

Brant Smith5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing
Half Day - Shared Trip • 4 adults • 2 childrenHad a great day out on the water fishing for halibut and striper with Captain Dave and his first mate Arron. This was our third time going out with them, and they continue to deliver an awesome experience every time. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. We ended up landing some really nice halibut, and there was steady action throughout the day. Dave clearly knows where to go and how to put you on fish, and Arron was always right there to help, whether it was setting up gear or making sure everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a solid fishing trip with a crew that knows what they’re doing and keeps things fun, I definitely recommend booking with Captain Dave. Looking forward to getting back out there again soon!
