Big ones biting again today!
Big ones biting again today!

Today we hooked and landed from absolute Sturgeon. A very wet day, but the fish were still biting. Warm rains will keep them biting and itโ€™s a great time to come and catch the fish of a lifetime.

Unbelievable Fishing Today!!!
Unbelievable Fishing Today!!!
Dec 21, 2025 Berkeley
We had wide open fishing today with 15 sturgeon landed and lots of missed opportunities. We had an open charter and a great vibe on the boat once again. Everyone left with big smiles and sore arms after absolutely wearing out those big sturgeon! We have warm rains in the forecast which means the fish will be chomping! If you want to catch the biggest fish youโ€™ve ever caught now is the time!

The Sturgeon were biting today very good. We were able to hook nine Sturgeon and get six to the boat plus a couple of big bonus stripers to top it off. The weather is cooling down, but the fishing is still very good. Itโ€™s a fun time of year to go. Donโ€™t worry about being cold. We have a heater on the boat and an enclosed cabin to keep you warm!
