Make the most of your time in Berkeley and go fishing with Josie Mac Sportfishing. With Captain Ken at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.


Species like Sturgeon, Salmon, Halibut, Striped Bass, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. 


The fish caught are yours to take with you, provided they're legal to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Your next meal doesn't get any fresher than that!


Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip! 


You'll be welcome aboard a 39' Pursuit sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.


You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.


You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.


It's never a bad idea to bring lunch, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
