What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Berkeley, California for the first time?

You need to book a trip with smaller tide movement. We booked on a 7ft tidal change that reduced the chances of catching fish but Captain Ken has been on the water for over 40 years and put us on the halibut.

Book, book, book the Josie Mac by far the best boat and charter out there. This is coming from a grand father who has 40 plus charters under his belt.

To purchase license before going to boat. Bd ready that the fishing will last longer.

Crab/fish combos mean very little time fishing. If you want to fish, I would recommend booking a fish-only trip.

Bring some warm clothes it’s cold over there in the morning please bring warm clothes please.

The Berkeley Harbour was easy to find plenty of parking, we easily found our captain and his boat.
