Rock Cod

The Northern California  Rock Cod and Ling Cod Fishing trips are favoured by many Charter Boat Anglers.  It is not uncommon for Charter Boat Anglers to come off the boat with plenty of fish and fish stories to boot.  This is a popular trip late spring through the winter.

Captains Choice

Captains Choice

Albacore, Bluefin and Bigeye

Many Anglers prefer a "Captains Choice" Charter Boat trip.  The Captains are very "in tune" with current fishing, ocean and weather conditions. Rock Cod, Ling Cod, Halibut, Flounder and Striped Bass are some of the options that can be fished for.  It is not uncommon for Charter Boat Anglers to come home with a mixed bag of fish on these trips.
