If you are looking for something to do for your next company outing or team building event, then look no further. It's the perfect way to experience San Francisco Bay. Please like and share!

J and P bait worked hard through the night and brought in a nice load of anchovy.

Live bait season has officially begun today!!!!

Here’s a look from our galley. No need to ever pack a lunch when fishing with us.

Our deckhand Gary showing the proper way to fillet a halibut

So if you see me fishing out on deck with this rod just understand I’m avoiding getting tangled with anyone else. Also don’t laugh, the rods been on fire this spring.

Let’s go fishing and have a culinary experience at the same time!

2024 season starts Saturday

24 limits of Jumbo Dungeness crab and 24 limits of rockfish!! Just a few trips left for the 2023 season.

We found decent weather and full hoops to send home with the folks that made the Christmas Eve trip 20 limits of crab and Rockfish!!!

You’d never believer what we saw 200 feet deep in the ocean. An unexpected visitor and we caught it on camera!

After numerous trial and error attempts we finally got some amazing footage of what goes on in our crab hoops. This took great minds working together to capture something unique that you don’t see everyday. We wanted to share this experience with you so you can see the process and how we’ve been so fortunate this season catching crabs for our customers.

The ocean is a crazy place, we had the opportunity to see what goes on 200 feet down.

Some underwater footage for your enjoyment

CRAB SEASON IS HERE! The start of the season has been amazing for crab so far. You are able to keep 10 crab per person. Also, your'e able to catch rockfish on our trip. With a limit of 10 rockfish as well. We offer a full service of cleaning your fish for you on the boat and at the dock you can have your crabs cooked and cleaned. It doesn't get any fresher than that!

Spectacular Blue angels show today ! We also finished up with limits of halibut for our light group to 25 pounds! Room for Mondays trip and the weather looks great. For reservations (510)4175557
