Leopard shark is my favorite! When they hit your bait, the clicker on the reel screams as line burns off, and they fight like a pit bull with fins...totally awesome!

Trolling for salmon is a lot of fun too. When they smash your bait, everybody yells "Fish On!" What a rush!

Another good time is drifting live bait for stripers and halibut. But one of the best things about summer fishing is you get to see a lot of different places in the Bay.

So whatever you like to do, it's all great fishing!

My boat, Child's Play, is a 1999 Design Concepts 26' Pacific Angler. It has plenty of room for up to six anglers. It has a full walkaround flush deck and a safety rail that runs all the way around the boat (very safe for kids). There is also a heated cabin and a marine head. The boat is fast and very comfortable.
