Title: Bay Halibut/Striper
Post by: MolBasser on April 15, 2026, 06:20:04 PM
All,

I'm going to book a halibut/striper trip on the bay with D&D sport fishing next month.  Its limited to 4 anglers and $250 a pop for 8 hours on the bay.

If anyone is interested let me know and we can get a date set up.  Mid to late May weekends are open as is most of June.

Alternatively, if any boaters here need a backseat, I'm available, reliable and pay for food, drinks, and gas.

Richmond harbor for Halibut.

They also run out of Bodega Bay at times for rockfish, salmon (when available), and tuna.

No, they also will target bay stripers.  I'm assuming the trip starts as halibut, when limited then to stripers.  It says 6-8.5 hours on the web page, I plan on verifying.  I'll fish c&r until they kick me off the boat basically.

My experiences with charter fishing are that they usually try to get a limit asap for everyone if they can and then head back in(= more profit). Definitely not all my experiences, though.
 I've even had 'em change-up at last minute before leaving the dock when they convinced  others(all tourists) to forget about bottom-fish and go after Silver Salmon. Extra stamp($)on their outta State 1-day license, and the limit was one, and the fish were schooled-up right outside of the breakwater(less time and fuel). Jumped off the boat and got a refund.
Not trying to ruin your enthusiasm. That experience was NOT SF bay, Bodega bay, or even Calif.

This is a 4/5 pack boat. Dude is chill.  Definitely not a cattle boat. I mean, he could be lame, but i don't get that vibe at all from his videos.
