Why fish with us

What a day on Dragonfly includes

Ty on the helm, Nick on the deck

Ty has fished the North Coast for over 20 years, and Nick works the deck on every trip.

Gear, bait and filleting included

Every trip comes with the rods, the bait and pack ice to keep your catch fresh. Filleting is free if you want it, and after a crab trip we cook and clean your crab at the dock.

The boat follows the season

Dragonfly runs out of Richmond from April to June and Bodega Bay from July through December, and heads out of Fort Bragg when the albacore move through.

Lines in at dawn. Ice in the box before heading in.
