Deep Sea Fishing Half Moon Bay


Day 2: Deep Sea Fishing in Half Moon Bay

When in the Princeton area just north of Half Moon Bay, make sure you take a moment to check out a deep sea fishing excursion for the family, associates, or friends. One of the most popular ones and the one that our family has been using for over 20 years is Huck Finn Sports Fishing. Located at 15 Johnson Pier at Pillar Point Harbor. Per person to charter the boat it will run you around 50$-70$, and a one day permit 10$-15$, but make sure you call and check for pricing. The boat that we have used prior is the Tiger Fish. The staff of the boat is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable that can make you experience that much better. Make sure you dress warm due to the coasts notoriously foggy and cold mornings! Most boats leave early mornings around seven and you will be fishing in about 30-45 minutes. We trolled south to follow the fish radar and very quickly the deckhands were working hard once we dropped our lines yelling “Fish On” from all sides of the boat running around helping people pull up their fish. Deep sea fishing is a great experience for all ages and a memory that will last a lifetime. After we all caught our limit (10 rock cod, 2 link cod), we headed back into the harbor, and what a beautiful sight it is. The coastline and sand bars shine against the crashing waves that are set against green mountains. This only enhances the great day with great people in a great town. After you get back you have the option of filleting your own catch, or having the deckhand do it for you. Deep Sea Fishing is a great thing to do in Half Moon Bay for tourists and locals alike, so pack a lunch and bring your sea legs for an adventure!
