HALIBUT EVERYDAY, SALMONS BACK JUNE 23
Berkeley Charter Boats
Summer begins with Halibut Trips…
HALIBUT has been great all spring and the big ones haven’t really moved in yet. We’re catching decent fish now but the overall quality always improves as we head into summer. The next couple months should be fantastic! We‘re averaging around two fish per person and it’s not uncommon to come back with limits! A few striped bass are caught everyday, no huge striper bite, but they average around 8 lbs each. We have open spots daily in June for Live Bait Potluck trips.
SALMON reopens June 23rd. In April and May salmon fishing was great the days the ocean allowed us to get out. We came back with limits more trips than not, but windy conditions held us back most days. Good news is when we reopen, we’ll be in the heart of salmon season and we’re expecting a terrific summer.
LINGOD in late summer and early fall. Big lings, fat sacks and generally great ocean conditions.
ROCK COD/CRAB COMBOS start in November.

FAQ
What should I bring for my trip?
- Fishing license (Purchase below)
- Food and beverages. Personal hand held ice chests ONLY. No large coolers or anything with wheels
- Warm clothing, dress in layers, be ready for any and all weather condition.
- Sunscreen
Are there any additional fees?
There are no hidden charges but keep in mind that tackle is not unlimited. The deckhand works hard and gratuity is appreciated. Be prepared to give the deckhand a little more if you want your fish filleted.
How should I dress?
Odds are it will be cold in the morning and warm and sunny in the afternoon. Be ready for all conditions. Dress in layers. I like my rubber boots but are not necessary, old pair of sneaker are fine. It’s better to have it and not need it, than want it and not have it.
Is there a guarantee I’ll catch fish?
No. These are wild fish. The captain and crew are good at what they do, but that Is why they call it fishing.
Do you clean our catch?
It is part of our service to gut and gill salmon,
if you want your catch filleted or steaked, ask the deckhand and he’d accommodate for an agreed upon fee.
