Join Captain Bill aboard his custom 24’ pilothouse fishing vessel, expertly crafted by H&F Radon. Designed to accommodate up to four anglers, this boat is perfect for you and your fishing team. Equipped with advanced Raymarine electronics and navigation systems, you'll spend less time searching and more time reeling in fish. The vessel excels offshore, featuring an 8x13.5-foot rear deck fishing area and a spacious 52-gallon live bait tank.
On this trip, you'll focus on catching Chinook (King) Salmon using trolling gear—a thrilling method to hook these powerful, fast fish. Alternatively, you can try "mooching" for salmon, which involves light tackle with a sinker and a plug or lure. Captain Bill is eager to teach this exciting technique if you're new to it! Salmon fishing on light tackle offers an exhilarating experience, and these fish are delicious to enjoy afterwards.
All anglers are provided with premium gear, including Phoenix rods, Shimano reels, and custom Calstar rods. After your catch, Captain Bill will clean and fillet your fish, so be sure to bring a cooler to take your fresh, hard-earned dinner home.
Whether you want to unwind while cruising San Francisco Bay or seek the adrenaline rush of battling sizeable ocean fish, Captain Bill offers an unforgettable fishing adventure. Just bring your appropriate clothing and California Fishing License—everything else is taken care of for you.
