Make sure to dress appropriately, if you go out in the early morning, or later in the evening it’ll be chilly, and could be windy, so pants and windbreakers are recommended ? Also, bring some snacks and drinks, don’t want to go hungry and not enjoy the trip!

It was hot, marked a lot of fish. It took some time to find active fish. I recommend cooler months for even better fishing conditions

Dress in layers and be prepared for cool, windy weather even in the summer. If you’re prone to seasickness, take something beforehand because the ocean can get a little rough. Most importantly, book with an experienced local captain who knows the area. The fishing was fantastic in August, and we caught a great variety of fish. It was an awesome experience for our whole family, including our kids!

Afternoon winds pick up so it was pretty choppy around Berkeley but the captain found us a calmer spot in the bay. Even as someone prone to seasickness I had no issues.
