Fishing and Sport Fishing

Fisherman's Wharf remains at the heart of our fishing community. Pier 45 processes more than 21 million pounds of fish every year. Local fishers supply three-quarters of the fish eaten in San Francisco restaurants.

Fishing is allowed from public piers and spaces. 

Check recreational fishing rules during the season.

Fresh caught crab and fish are sold directly from boats during the season. 

Sport Fishing Charter Vessels

Charter vessels are available for seasonal fishing in open waters outside of the bay. Available vessels may be found at the Jefferson Street lagoon and Hyde Street Harbor in Fisherman's Wharf.
