What we're about

Family fishing trip with a big catch on a boat.

Lucky Penny Sportfishing is all about you. We love to teach the novice, but if you're an experienced angler, we listen to your needs. We aren't your typical charter; we take every client's individual wants into consideration when crafting your Bodega Bay fishing trips. So, whether you're a bait dropper, a swimbait slinger, or somewhere in between, we've got a trip for you. No experience is necessary for our Tuna and Salmon charters. We offer a diverse range of options including Tuna, Salmon, Halibut, Rockfish, Crab, and Whale watching tours, with most of our trips being combos to ensure your success.
