Happenings at the Emeryville Marina

Commuters Embrace New Ferry Service

Prop SF is now servicing Emeryville from the Emeryville Marina commercial dock to San Francisco Pier 15 (near the Exploratorium) and back. Their small and comfortable ferries have individual seats, WI-FI, USB charging and bike racks. They operate Mon. – Fri. with morning and afternoon pickups. You must buy tickets online ahead of time, as they do not allow walk-ups.  (Buy nine tickets and your tenth ride is free.) You can also call  (650) 503-3779 for booking. It’s about a twelve minute ride for $9. Limited parking is available and is only $3 all day for travelers. Find out how to get there and where to park by watching a quick instructional video.

screen-shot-2016-11-02-at-7-12-10-pmOriginally offering ferry service only for Fortune 500 companies over the last years, Prop SF is now offering this revolutionary and fun means of travel to the public. With nine ports and 16 routes, all of their vessels are U.S. Coast Guard inspected and their leadership team makes your ride affordable, quick and safe. “An important driving force when we founded the company,” says CEO and Captain James Jaber, “was that we could improve people’s lives. That is at the core of our business. We can help people change their habits and get on the boat!”

It seems that a 12 min. ride to work in the morning on our beautiful San Francisco Bay would be a refreshing and inspirational way to start the day. No more bumper to bumper or searching desperately for parking at BART. Park, ride and relax. Though there is some parking, Emery Go Round would also be a great way to get down to the ferry dock in Emeryville. Next marina story: Improvements and Changes at the Emeryville Marina.

Fishing Reportimg_2741

It’s all happening down at the docks in Emeryville. During the first seven days in December Fish Emeryville sent out two boats with 160 anglers. The catch? 1,600 Dungeness Crab, 42 Lingcod and 1,297 Rockfish.  That’s a lot of crab.

Fish Emeryville is located at 3310 Powell St. in the Emeryville Marina and specializes in fishing trips outside the Golden Gate as well as in the SF Bay. Knowledgeable captains ensure a safe and rewarding experience out on the water.  You can reach them at (510) 652-3403 or [email protected]. They also have a hotline number: (510) 652-3474.

Fresh Dungeness Crab for the Holidays

Fish Emeryville now fills the space where Emeryville Sportfishing had its fleet of charter boats for years down in the Emeryville Marina. Many of the same boats are part of Fish Emeryville’s current fleet of eight boats – C-Gull II, Drake, New Huck Finn, New Salmon Queen, Sea Wolf, Sundance, Tigerfish and Wet Spot. Some boats have been going out daily since recreational crab season opened. Fish Emeryville provides trips out the Golden Gate as well as in the San Francisco Bay.img_2731

Just looking at the catch from one boat out of the fleet of eight, you can see that every angler that goes out fishing comes back with a limit of Dungeness crab. The New Huck Finn reports their count of 200 Dungeness crab and 200 Rockfish on 11/16 with 20 anglers going out. On 11/10 with 36 anglers going out, they had a catch of 360 Dungeness crab and 270 Rockfish.

The Sea Wolf  went out 11/17 with 28 anglers and came back with 280 Dungeness crab and 200 Rockfish.  You may have figured by now that the limit is 10 crabs per person.

Since 11/5 three boats went out daily, each carrying about 25 anglers  – so with limits of 10 ea., they were bringing in about 750 Dungeness crab a day.

It is easy to book a trip online on their website and you can buy your fishing license online also. Fish Emeryville is located at 3310 Powell Street in the Emeryville Marina.

Meet the Wolf Eel

Emeryville Sportfishing’s fishing reports are a reflection of catches happening in San Francisco Bay and outside the Golden Gate in the Pacific. On Sunday,  June 5, 2016, three boats went out from Emeryville with 50 anglers. The catch? 310 Rockfish, 58 lingcod, 14 Striped Bass, 13 California Halibut, 5 Chinook (King) Salmon and 1 Wolf Eel, which is not an eel at all, but part of the family of Wolffishes (Anarhichadidae)! The Wolf Eel really has a face only a mother would love. Take a look for yourself.

Note that only 5 Chinook Salmon were caught by a boat that went out all day on the Bay. California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and federal fishery scientists made an announcement a few weeks ago suggesting the forecasts for Salmon harvesting for 2016 in California is significantly lower than in recent years. 299,600 adult Sacramento River fall Chinook salmon in the ocean this year along with 142,200 adults from the Klamath River fall Chinook run.

These forecasts, in addition to information on endangered Sacramento River winter Chinook salmon, will be used over the next few months by fishery managers to set sport and commercial fishing season dates, commercial quotas and size and bag limits.

Chinook salmon that will be harvested in ocean fisheries in 2016 hatched two to four years ago, and may have been impacted by poor river conditions driven by California’s ongoing drought. Once in the ocean, the fish experienced El Niño conditions, which are not favorable for salmon or its prey.

The weather is warmer now for those 5:30am expeditions out to sea, so gather your group and make a reservation. Emeryville Sportfishing is located in the Emeryville Marina at 3310 Powell Street in Emeryville, CA off Highway 80.  For printable driving directions from your location to Emeryville Sportfishing follow this link. You can reserve a boat now at 510-654-6040.

He wants to be in the lead at all times, at every turn. ORACLE is currently training on the San Francisco Bay to get their team ready to take over Emirate Team New Zealand’s first place status. Stay tuned and get ready for the 2017 America’s Cup in Bermuda – watch the highlights of the Finals -Race 19 in 2013 on San Francisco Bay.
