Family charter!

October 24, 2022

10/23/22 Sunday we had a family charter out on the Nautilus. We left the dock in the afternoon and ran to the hot spots. The kids weren’t into the fishing thing at first, but when they were biting, they were all in. The girls were the big winners, catching the most and the largest! John, Thanks for trying the Nautilus! Looking forward to our next adventure. Captain Ron & Captain Hunter

Birthday Bass!

October 23, 2022

10/22/22 Saturday we had a family charter celebrating a birthday, they wanted to go fish the ocean, but with the adverse weather we opted to survive in the bay. We fished a few of our sheltered areas and scratched at some fish to make a catch for our out of town guests. Kelsey, Thanks for trying the Nautilus! See you in August! Captain Ron & Captain Hunter

Afternoon flatties

September 5, 2022

9/4/22 Sunday PM half day We had an afternoon trip today. The wind whistled and the sheep were coming as we left the harbor to the fishing grounds. We rocked and rolled making fishing for our guests more difficult. We had quite a few opportunities but by the end, they learned the technique and caught some fish for dinner. Shang, Thanks for trying the Nautilus! Captain Ron & Hunter

Bring layers. California doesn't always mean sunny and warm. But bring sunscreen too.

If your unsure of your sea legs, take a motion sickness medication. Be prepared for Karl to take your sight of land. Have your camera ready for some sensational photos. Prepare for weather and a healthy appetite to consume your catch.

Bring a jacket because it gets pretty windy. Bring some snacks if you plan on doing the full day.

Layer up for the weather. It was chili out on the ocean. There were a couple of extra jackets on the boat (and the captain offered my wife a blanket and pillow when she was falling asleep in the cabin) but it's always nice to have your own stuff. Sunblock!!!

Book a trip on the Warrior Poet. Capt. Dave King will do his best to assure that you have a good time. He's very knowledgeable and will get you on the fish quickly

Baldwin L. San Francisco, California

Salmon fishing needs a long ride toward the ocean, so not very pleasurable for people susceptible to sea sickness. Prepare well before the trip, probably by limiting your meal before the trip and take some pills to combat the motion sickness. Wear thick clothes as well because it could be quite windy even in a sunny afternoon.

Fish with an experienced captain, like Craig Hanson. He knows the water, knows where the fish are likely to be, and has the correct tackle and bait.

Morning tends to be best because of the tides, and the weather is sometimes better then, too. More fish are available starting around May.

A total new experience for us who are used to living in tropical countries. The weather, the range of fish, the environment, etc... Fantastic experience.

Don't expect too much except an enjoyable day with a great Capt and spectacular views and weather. Fish were not as cooperative but Dave did his best and we caught fish.

Avoid the party boats at Pier 45 at Fisherman's Wharf. Look for the 6-pack boats like Warrior poet, Flash Sportfishing, Argo Sportfishing and you will have much better experience.
