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.

On the Warrior Poet we troll for salmon, drift for halibut, jig for rock fish and ling cod, anchor for shark and sturgeon, and on special trips we will kite fish for sand dabs.
