I wanted to share the experience I had with Diamond Sportfishing and Captain Kyle! WOW! We…read moregathered at the dock super early and although we thought it was early, Captain Kyle was up and at'm ready to fish! He said we were in for an adventure. The great thing about DSF is that they provide all the gear necessary for your catch. We were going out for Tuna as Bluefin are now found in the waters off the west coast, we were all pretty excited to go fishing. All we brought with us was food and drinks, having everything else included was a bonus. In the event we caught anything, they'll cut, clean, gill and give us fillets. The boat ride was awesome, no one got seasick thank goodness, there's ample seating inside and out. It was super foggy in the early morning, but cleared up by the time we started. I've not been on a fishing boat prior to this trip, and I was blown away at how scenic and beautiful the water was out there. The bright sunshine gave the water a super bright blue appearance, it was cool. Captain Kyle and his deckhand got everyone rigged up and ready to fish. The Captain is youthful and took his time answering questions and giving advice. His mixture of humor and knowledge of where the fish were was certainly a bonus because as soon as lines were in the water we heard, " Fish On!" That first Tuna took everyone on board including my son Parker to reel it in ( Posted Picture). What a freaking rush. It was exciting watching as everyone reeled something in on the boat. We laughed, joked and had such a fun day out on the water with friends. On our way back in to harbor the Captain pointed out several whale pods swimming around the boat, it was a trip seeing them jump. We enjoyed our lunch and talked about who caught the biggest tuna. In all honesty, that first one was the biggest in my book. I can't say enough great things about Captain Kyle and his Diamond Sport Fishing. Reservations were easy as charters go out practically daily either 1/2 or full days. The waters off of California are changing, getting warmer, they're seeing Bluefin Tuna and Marlin so who knows, maybe our next trip we'll catch something epic! Overall Impression: A+

I needed some frozen anchovies for my upcoming fishing trip. I called the two Oakland bait shops…read morethat are still open (Joe's Tackle Box is permanently closed. I actually went there to check it out. Hopefully, yelp will update that soon). They both had frozen anchovies, but the man at Phu Quy let me know their bag of anchovies was six dollars, which was two dollars cheaper than the other place. I also needed some tackle, so I headed over. The selection of tackle there was good, and the prices were very good. I shouldn't have been surprised since the anchovies were well-priced. As I went to the counter to get the anchovies, I asked the guy behind it if I should get one or two bags. When I let him know that I was going to cut up the anchovies into pieces and not use them whole, he actually said that one bag should work rather than trying to upsell me two. I thought that was pretty cool. I decided to get the second bag anyway. As they say, better to have too much than too little. I asked, and he said his name was Victor. He was really friendly and informative. Even though I was going for Delta catfish, I decided to ask him about largemouth bass for the future. He told me some spots and fishing techniques to use there. I'm glad I found another great local baith shop and a local guide (Victor) to supply and support my fishing needs.

LOOK NO FURTHER!…read more Pacific Angler SportFishing is the best 6 person charter in the Bay Area. Captain Ross is friendly, knowledgeable, and will put you on the fish! I've gone numerous times and he has always delivered limits!!! His brand new boat is an absolute fish killer. You will feel comfortable the whole time, and will be filling your freezer in no time! Look no further then Captain Ross and Pacific Angler SportFishing for your blue fin tuna, albacore, halibut, striped bass, rock/ling cod, or Crabbing trip. Side shout out to his deck hand Ensei, who makes the fishing effortless and was always willing to help. After we got our limits, Ensei filleted the fish and packed it all up for the car ride home. Support this small business and get out there!!!

My family and I just went on a whale watching trip today…read more It's always part luck. Thankfully, we got lucky. Spotted a couple Gray Whales from a distance, and after a tip from another boat were able to get closer to two others swimming together and ride along with them for a while. Captain Smitty and Lee were great! Knowledgeable, friendly, informative, and great stewards of the sea, and marine life. We definitely recommend these guys. Go with an open heart, patience, and have fun!

We had the best time with Riptide Charters. The F/V Riptide is a 40' fiberglass hull, equipped with…read morea turbo diesel, and is licensed and inspected by the United States Coast Guard. It was so clean, well until we all made a mess. It is a lovely boat. We felt so safe with the crew. The Riptide is owned by Capt. William Smith. He has been a licensed captain for over 30 years. You will find it located on "H" dock at Pillar Pt. Harbor in El Granada (near Half Moon Bay), California. The Captain was with us and he was able to help the weak ones, like me, without making me feel like I did not belong. The boat leaves super early in the morning so get some sleep the night before. I had to nap after. Go to their website to see what type of fish is in season or you will not be happy. We went for Rockfish and caught a few and were so happy. We grilled it all up and it was great and we were able to serve a lot of people. I was hoping to see a whale, but sadly, did not. I think they are pretty rare to see in that area. They have clean bathrooms. We will be back, this time for salmon.

I don't have to fight for a spot on the boat or worry about getting tangled with the other 20+ like on other charters. Captain Justin was friendly and offered constant advice.

Bravo Captain Melynda!
