Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
San Francisco is located on the Pacific coast in California, and has a rich and diverse history. Fishing has been a significant part of San Francisco's history since the earliest days. The Ohlone people who lived in the area prior to European arrival relied on fishing as a major source of food. When Spanish colonists arrived in the late 1700s, they established a thriving fishing industry in the Bay Area.
During the California Gold Rush of the mid-19th century, many immigrants from around the world came to San Francisco, including a large number of fishermen from Portugal and Italy who established the city's fishing industry. The industry boomed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with hundreds of fishing boats working the waters of the Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
However, the industry declined in the mid-20th century due to overfishing and pollution, and many fishing communities in San Francisco struggled to survive. Despite these challenges, fishing remains an important part of the city's history and culture, with a small but dedicated group of fishermen continuing to work the waters off the coast of San Francisco to this day.
The waters surrounding San Francisco offer a diverse array of fish species, both in the Bay and in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the most commonly caught fish in the area include Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Sockeye Salmon in the rivers, bay, and ocean. Striped Bass is a popular target among anglers that are frequently found in the bay and delta. Nearshore and offshore fishing San Francisco can product many different species of Rockfish, including Black Rockfish, Canary Rockfish, and Yellowtail Rockfish. There are also many Bocaccio, Cabezon, Halibut, Lingcod, and White Seabass. Albacore Tuna and Bluefin Tuna are also commonly caught when trolling baits offshore. One of the record fish catches in San Francisco was a 78.2-pound White Seabass in the San Francisco Bay. It came close to breaking the state record of 79 pounds.
