Halibut Fishing in Bay Area

Halibut

  • Food Value Excellent

(Hippoglossus stenolepis / hippoglossus)

When you’re looking for a fish that is both abundant and fun to catch, Halibut is the best of both worlds. If you’re eager to explore the Halibut fishing the Bay Area has, all you need is a day on the bountiful waters and a seasoned guide to take you to that hot bite.
 
Numerous fishermen hit the waters in the Bay Area year round to catch their limit of so-called “butts,” and there are two varieties. You’ll find California Halibut primarily in the San Francisco Bay, and what they lack in size they make up for in quantity. Pacific Halibut is available throughout the area, but bear in mind that regulations can change in different bays.
 
Whether you’re trolling or drift fishing, getting your live bait to the bottom is absolutely crucial. Keep the bait moving along the sand bottom and wait for the Halibut’s predatory instincts to work for you. It’s only a matter of time before you hear the reel screaming. You’re allowed to keep up to five Halibut – plenty for a fish fillet feast for dinner.
 
Local fishing captains have spent years chasing their prey in rivers, bays, and estuaries, and they’re incredibly adapt in putting you on the bite. Whether you book a shared trip for $150 per person, or you go fishing with your family and make a day of it, there’s a charter that can cater to your needs.
 
Because the Bay Area is quite big, there’s a long list of fishing grounds you can test out. Monterey Bay, Paradise Beach, Crissy Island, and Muir Beach are just some of the treasure troves where the fishing action never stops.
 
So what do you need for your angling trip? Your captain will provide all the fishing tackle, including live bait, so you don’t have to worry about it. It’s up to you to have a valid California fishing license with you, dress in layers for the occasion, and pack food and drinks. If you don’t believe the rumors about the excellent Halibut fishing Bay Area has to offer, go and check it out yourself!

Not as good fishing conditions as other months, but you can still catch fish. We weren’t able to catch any fish from the dock on Bethel Island where we were staying but much of that was limited by stormy weather. On a bass charter we were able to catch 1 largemouth bass and 1 striped bass. In February fishing is OK but not as good as spring and summer.

Halibut! Lots of them. HUGE!!! Leaving from Fisherman's Wharf passing Alcatraz, seeing the sun come up over the east bay ills, watching the yacht regatta, passing all the freighters and cruise ships, going under the bridges, seeing the rising sun reflected off the skyscrapers; it's a gorgeous place to catch BIG fish.

If you've never fished the Delta, this is a great starting point. All services available. June was a bit tough because of the post spawn, but whether or not you catch fish, being on this water is a treat. Beautiful place!
