Bodega Bay Fishing Report Information:

Captain Ryan primarily writes these fishing reports when he gets a chance on Sunday or Monday evenings. Sometimes life gets in the way and it gets delayed. But if we leave the dock, whether the fishing’s good or bad, it will end up on this report eventually. Our Fishing reports will include Tomales Bay, Bodega Bay, Fort Bragg, San Francisco Bay and anywhere else we fish. You can expect fishing reports from Bodega Bay and Tomales Bay regularly. These reports are available for most of the summer, fall, and early winter. We continue until we dry dock the boat around Christmas. Currently the only other honest and first hand experience fishing report is from Willy with the Lawsons Landing Report down at Dillion’s Beach. We will also include fishing reports for our personal trips (when we are lucky enough to get them in) and tips and info from friends or other boats when we can get them. We are working on expanding this section of the website and archiving fishing reports out of Bodega Bay for years to come, for clients to get a better understanding of what seasons are best for what species. Overall this report is labeled as the Bodega Bay Fishing Report, but covers a wide variety of reports and information.
