Fresh Bay Area Fishing Reports

Great fishing boat and expert Captain. Arrive to dock at least 30 minutes early for best parking.

Good options with lots of parking and cleaning areas. Dock and location wasn't packed or rushed.

All the fish you want to catch are spawning and hitting and being caught at this time of year. Book charters out of san fran in july/august

Go with a positive attitude fishing is fishing and can go either way just have a great time.

Make sure you have warm clothes on. Take something for motion sickness because the water is VERY choppy.

Bring sunscreen, windblazer, snacks, and friends to relax with as you all wait for the bite.

If you are fishing the area for the first time, don't hesitate to book with Captain Frank. You will be glad you did.

The fishing on SF Bay is the same as anywhere.except if there not biting great you get some iepic views of the bay! Some days are better fishing than others so hope for the best and enjoy the day!

Actually speak with the captain and make sure you know where you're fishing and what you're fishing for.

It's not like fishing for bluegill or other varieties in technique listen to the captain and you will do great!

Hire John and he'll put you where it gives you the best chance to land the fish you're looking for.

Halibut! Lots of them. HUGE!!! Leaving from Fisherman's Wharf passing Alcatraz, seeing the sun come up over the east bay ills, watching the yacht regatta, passing all the freighters and cruise ships, going under the bridges, seeing the rising sun reflected off the skyscrapers; it's a gorgeous place to catch BIG fish.

Leave early to account for traffic delays and bring windproof jacket just in case.

Be prepared for a high temperatures and power fishing. Knowing how to use baitcasting equipment is a must.

If you've never fished the Delta, this is a great starting point. All services available. June was a bit tough because of the post spawn, but whether or not you catch fish, being on this water is a treat. Beautiful place!

Give time to get there as there was some construction at Marina that can be confusing.

It's windy and cold out there in the pacific, so wear good windbreaker and warm clothes.

Bring a jacket and lunch. If you not sure how your stomach will hold take meds ahead of time.

Captain Rooney said that Salmon Fishing is great right now, but I really liked going around the bay hunting halibut. So much action throughout the day!

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