San Francisco Bay Halibut Fishing

[@24DJX]

I live in smack dab in the middle of San Francisco. I love bay fishing! especially halibut. ive also caught sand sharks which are very cool catches!

[@doctoredable]

I just saw this video and was surprised I had never heard about Captain Steven Mitchell. He obviously knows how to catch and properly care for the catch of his clients. I hope to meet him someday. I have a 25ft Skipjack that I have enjoyed for the past 23 years while fishing the SF Bay for halibut and striped bass but my main focus is trolling for King Salmon and Albacore Tuna outside the Golden Gate. This captain seems to run a class act with a very good "vibe" during the experience.

[@henryman5809]

[@Dosindapendence]

Im going to start taking people out myself..I just cant stand the way some charters act and all the people getting tangled up and the captain yelling at you..When i take someone out they do what they want no tangaling no yelling just a great time fishing..This guy looks cool to go out with!

[@saltangler5163]

👍...what model phenix abyss do you guys use for the halibut? 807,808,809? Thanks

[@myungkwak0311]

Which ever you prefer dude

[@dmitryv3756]

808 when trolling 16oz lead...you can go lighter if you wanna drift

[@alexanderginebra1838]

1:03 that bird was like “ no one leaves alive”

[@cdsfishing4346]

Nice catch, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago!

[@anothersomebody8195]

Is the buzzing electronic sound while netting that fish from a dowrigger or a GPS guided trolling motor?

[@AnglerWestTV]

That's the auto pilot you hear when we were trolling.

[@anothersomebody8195]

@@AnglerWestTV I've never fished with one. That's slick as snot! Mind my asking what speed you trolled at (above ground versus current speed)

[@ReelNinjafishing]

Good job, guys!

[@familyfishkiller1062]

good jab

[@mikeboston421]

7:00. for Canada? wtf

[@ScotWalt858]

Awesome!

[@waynehughes8616]

Is this the reason our fisheries species tanks one by one? Limits of freezer trophy's? I fish......Salmon, Trout, Sea Run Cutthroat, kokanee. If I kept my limit of each fish I catch there is no way I could eat all the fish. Give it away to friends and family......sure I do that. But here is a novel thought.......let some of your limit swim.......let them live. I have to smoke most of my catch to preserve for a longer period of time. If I caught my limit and let them all go......I still caught a limit......I can still feel proud that I limited, and even better that some if not all of that limit survived. JUst a thought.

So awesome to see our local fishery profiled. Nice work!

[@melvinweidner5111]

I have a 26' Faralon boat and I still love to take my family out with Captain Steve, we learn and have fun on every trip.

[@DanielA-mp2sk]

Captain: "you wanna leave his head in the water, don't lift his head out, he's gonna go crazy. Etc." Passenger: lifts head out .

[@leefromcupertino9754]

Captain Steve is the best in the Bay Area

[@leefromcupertino9754]

Also the deckhand his name is Angle, he’s the most knowledgeable deckhand I’ve ever been around

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

Good day on the water BABY!!!!!!!

[@halibuthooliganinc1058]

Angel!!!!! That's my bro good dude

[@Abcd-cb5ty]

Why no bay or even beach in Oregon produce any flat fish? The answer is always because over population of Seal. That answer sounds logical but some Seals in Oregon are called California Seal (if I remember correctly) and why they live and eat fishes in Oregon but not California.

I’m a bass girl... “ ha ha...” 😂😂

[@110welding]
