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. When that ability is paired with The Happy Hooker, a Coast Guard certified 56' modern fiberglass boat with heated cabin, stove, color TV, and galley space for 20 people, the result is the best sportsfishing excursion on the Golden... read more

My experience with the happy Hooker when I was raised in El Sobrante California are used to go by Jim Smith‘s house who owns the happy Hooker I know in the Smith family for many years I highly recommend them for commercial fishing they’re honest they’re dependable they know what they’re doing and they’re caring it’s a great family and a good fishing family that learned throughout the years yes please try out the happy Hooker there’s a Oz saying if you snooze you lose
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!
best fishing all around... limits limits lim
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!
Awesome day ! Fishing. Great company. My favorite people. Awesome captain
Had a blast yesterday 7/28/20 boat caught over 20 halibut & 6 striper. made some awesome memories w/my son , Family , friends we were a group of 13 THANKS GUYS
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.
been fishing on this boat since 1970 always catches fish. Jim and his boys are the best fishermen in the fleet. always helpful in tackle and landing the fish. highly recommend all the Smith family
Would definetly do it again! Great experience!
