About this business

Specialties When talk turns to striped bass in San Francisco Bay, Captain Jim Smith is inevitably mentioned. He's developed the most intimate knowledge of the habits of the striped bass within the bay and along the coast. His ability to predict where the fish will show up -- and when -- is uncanny.

Yesterday was our first trip with Captain Jonathon and deck boss Greg and definitely won’t be the last. Amazing fishing for rockfish and then solid halibut action afterwards. Can’t wait to do it again!

great guys to go fishing with, never ran out of bait on the bow, the bait bucket was always full of lively bait. and I cant say enough about the CAPTAIN, I made a booking mistake, and he made it happen on a booked boat, my sons first trip was a blast! he had so much fun, from the deck hand and Captain helping him reel in his first halibut, to making him believe he was helping with the bait. I recommend this father and son team any day! thanks for the great time and memories!

Went out on the pacific dream on 6/27. The weather, tide, and especially the wind were tough, but the captain and Joey did an outstanding job of trying to get us on fish. Fishing is just that fishing. Definitely will be back.
