Halibut can be spotty if you book a trip late in October(if you only do a half day, full day trips will be better for halibut) but captain Sean will make sure you have a great time and catch fish either way

Don’t be the dummy who thinks shorts and a tank top is a good idea. Check the weather and dress appropriately. Bring a styrofoam cooler with dry ice at the bottom and ice on top of the dry ice to leave in the car. Gallon size ziplock bags, paper towels, hand soap with pumice (ie: Fast Orange), and a change of clothes for afterwards are a good idea, too.

Charter Addictive fishing if you want the very best fishing overall fishing experience. It ain’t cheap but my experience far exceeded my expectations. Bring warm layers - this is a quick boat, and a beanie!

Plan for all possible weather conditions. Wear layers as the wind picks up in the afternoon. Sunglasses and a neck gator are a must. Wear waterproof or rubber shoes. Your feet will get wet at some point.

Absolutely. Call the captain and discuss what you want and he give you a clear answer on what’s your best options

We fished in Pittsburg, not Richmond, and it was okay. Would have been better without big rain before.

A nice captain and a well run boat BUT the captain is a chain smoker and in the confines of the forward cabin we found that a MAJOR problem.

Make sure you have warm clothes on. Take something for motion sickness because the water is VERY choppy.

Captain Rooney said that Salmon Fishing is great right now, but I really liked going around the bay hunting halibut. So much action throughout the day!

Yes But captain needs to find out from previous days colleagues just where the shoals are biting.

Wear layers. The wind can be extreme in some places and nonexistent in others. Check the tides.

Get up a little earlier to park in a secure spot in Richmond as opposed to worrying in SF

Get upstanding about parking and the time you need to be so that you are not to early

Good options with lots of parking and cleaning areas. Dock and location wasn't packed or rushed.
