Had a great trip with my teenage boys on opening day of Crab season. Sea was a little rough that day and a few folks didn't do so well, but we caught our limits of crab and cod by mid day. Had crab legs and cod chowder for Thanksgiving this year. Can't wait to do it again next year. Cal Dawn crew was amazing. All the guys were helpful with bait and hooks and Shelby and Candy was there help make everyone feel good. Plus the galley food is awesome.

I'm the Company liason for our Rc-Club, And have been chartering fishing trips with the Smith Family for the past 18 years. We have never been disappointed with the service, and quality of our trips, Tawny the Cook serves an outstanding variety of foods from the galley, the deck hands have always been informative and helpful teaching the newbies all the techniques, for a succesful day on the water. I can't say enough about Captain James, Our group has known him since he was a deck hand on his dads boat the Happy Hooker. His knowledge of the bay and ocean is legend among his peers. And he'll pull every trick in the book to make your experiance on the Califonia Dawn a memorable one. We booked again this year, and look forward to another great day on the Bay.

I have been fishing since the day I was like born! I have been coming on the Cal Dawn since I was like 12 or 13, and today I just spent my 17th birthday out shark fishing! It was the best birthday I could ever imagine! If you ever want to go fishing on a charter boat this is the boat to pick! the environment on this boat is always fun! You'll make great memories with your friends & family on this boat! Going fishing on the Cal Dawn is always my favorite thing to do! And Captain James is the best capt I know! (: he'll always do his best to make sure you have a great time! Thank you James and everyone on this trip for helping me have one of the best days of my life! It was literally unforgetable (:

If your reading this your still wishing, get on board the CalDawns crew so you start fishing. These kids know the Bay. Most of all they know how to locate the hot spots in the bay. |

Another stand up trip with the California Dawn. You can't find a better run boat in the fleet. Clean, fast and fun. Limits of lings and rock fish. Thanks to Captain James, deckhand Darren and the famous Chef Tawney. If it wasn't for all the reeling, I would have gained 10 lbs.

We have chartered the California Dawn several times to do various kinds of fishing. On our trips for Rock Fish everyone caught their limit and more. During sturgeon season in the bay we have always has alway caught sturgeon and stripped bass. For a great fishing experience, excellent service from the captain and his crew and a very good time, call Captain James and book a trip. We guarantee you will have a great time.

The California Dawn left the dock about 7 a.m. and I caught my 59" sturgeon about 2:15 p.m. using eel, grass shrimp combo. The deck hand was good and professional and the Captain netted the fish. If you want a good trip, try a trip on the California Dawn. The food was good too!
