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

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

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.

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.

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.

Be sure to go over parking in advance with your Captain. With all the tourists, it can be difficult to find areas to park without a permit.

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