Reel Addiction Sportfishing Gears Up for 2026

Reel Addiction Sportfishing out of San Francisco Bay is doing lots of prep and has exciting things coming up for the upcoming seasons. They run two boats that always come back with huge hauls, fishing the Bay and nearby waters for rockfish, lingcod, Dungeness crab, and more.

With their trips getting popular across locals and out of state visitors, they've made a couple of updates. Their second boat now has added deck seating for lots of families, since each boat accommodates up to six people.

They've also added a new deck boss, Robert Bewley, who is joining the team.

If that wasn't exciting enough, on the 15th of each month starting March they're doing a Battle of the Boats between the two Reel Addiction boats. It's going to be interesting to see what happens because both boats always come back with a huge amount of fish.

Make sure to get in on the action and book a trip with some of San Francisco Bay's best. Check reeladdictionsportfishingllc.com for availability or call 925-812-4047. Spots fill fast.
