Emeryville News | San Francisco on the Bay

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.

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.
