I was born with a view of the Hudson River and grew up within walking distance from the Atlantic Ocean. I moved to the Bay Area 25 years ago and I have fished every bit of water in-between.

Michael Hyland5.0VerifiedNEWCaught a bucket list species!
Half Day Trip - 12:30 PM • 1 adultAwesome and beautiful day on the water with Warrior Poet's Captain David and deck hand Bradley. I was fishing solo that day after another boat cancelled my trip. David was very easy to communicate with via text and I was happy to nab the last available spot on his charter that day. I expected I'd get on board with a few other fisherman like me and was quite surprised when the other 5 people on the boat was a family of 5! A very nice mom and her kids who were 14, 12, 6 and 4 years old. I really have to hand it to David and Bradley for how easygoing and accommodating they were with such young kids. They kept everyone on the fish and the family was really cool. I would have been stressed bringing 4 kids out on the ocean, so kudos to the mom too! Aside from that it was really extraordinary to travel on the splendor of the Golden Gate Bridge and to take in the beautiful views of the city and the natural landscapes. Most importantly I caught a legal California Halibut! That is the number one fish I'd been wanting to catch since I'd never caught one before. I highly recommend getting out on The Warrior Poet!

Joey Hinson5.0VerifiedDavid and Neil are The Best
Full Day Trip (Private) • 6 adultsI've been using the Warrior Poet for over five years for my Bay Area Fishing trips (I take one or two per year). I've always come back with fish! He'll get you on the halibut, striped bass, rockfish, and salmon. David is a great captain. He has great information on where the bite is hot. He has great knowledge of the fishing landscape in the Bay Area. And he's a really interesting and kind human being. I've been through rough seas, calm seas and everything in between on this boat and it was clear that David knew how to handle the moment. Neil is also great! He's a pro in every way. From safety briefing to bringing your catch on board to filleting a halibut without leaving an ounce behind, he's the best! Between David and Neil, you should feel great about booking a trip with your friends, colleagues, and family. Amazing crew.

Brittany Barnes5.0VerifiedBest birthday fishing trip ever!
Full Day Trip • 4 adultsI booked this trip as a surprise for my husband, and we brought his sister and her boyfriend along. My husband has always wanted to try rockfishing, and this trip exceeded all of our expectations. Dave and Neil were fantastic, and made the whole experience so much fun and we couldn't believe how many fish we caught! We're looking forward to trying out lots of new recipes and enjoying plenty of fresh rockfish ceviche. We had an amazing day from start to finish and would absolutely recommend this crew to anyone looking for a great fishing experience. We'd love to book another trip with them in the future!

Mistie Kern5.0VerifiedFantastic fishing
Full Day Trip (Private) • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe had an absolutely fantastic fishing trip and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Captain Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. Thanks to his expertise, we caught an amazing variety of fish including halibut, striped bass, rockfish, leopard sharks, a seven-gill shark, and brown sharks! Bradley, the deckhand, was outstanding. He was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. He especially connected well with our teenager, which made the trip even more enjoyable. What really stood out was how wonderful both Neil and Bradley were with our two boys. They were patient, encouraging, and made the entire experience fun and memorable for our family. Their passion for fishing and dedication to their guests truly showed throughout the day. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, we highly recommend this company. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future with Warrior Poet.

Steven Hendrix5.0Verifiedperfect day for fishing.
Half Day Trip • 3 adultsmy mates had an incredible day out on the water. With Captain David putting us right on the fish. They practically jumped in the boat. Neil was phenomenal and patient with us. Got me out of a jam or two. Replaced my tackle a few too many times. Susan was a welcomed addition. she helped is tremendously getting us up to speed. I can’t wait to get out and catch a few Salmon on our next trip!! Awesome experience 10 out 10 would recommend you book with Warrior Poet Sportfishing.

What's biting with Warrior Poet Sportfishing 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.
