About Bodega Bay Sportfishing Center

Phone: +1-707-875-3344
Price Range: $$

Bodega Bay Sportfishing Center operates out of Porto Bodega Marina at 1410 Bay Flat Road. The landing is owned and run by Captain Rick Powers, a 40-year fishing veteran and president of the Golden Gate Sportfishing Association. Powers delivered a "Save Our Boats" petition signed by more than 20,000 Californians to Governor Newsom's office in response to proposed CARB engine-emission regulations.

Fleet

The fleet runs two vessels:

New Sea Angler — 65 feet long, 20 feet wide, roughly 50 rod holders, licensed for 48 anglers. Salmon trolling trips typically run 20–25 passengers.
Surf Scooter — 58 feet.

Captain Dana Amundsen, Powers' nephew and a licensed captain, works as deckhand and occasional skipper.

Trip types

The trip menu covers the North Coast species mix: salmon, rockcod/lingcod combo, Dungeness crab and rockcod/lingcod combo, halibut, albacore tuna, and Dungeness crab. Daily departures run from Porto Bodega Marina.

The landing does not publish a 2026 rate card and is not on the FishingReservations.com network most California landings use — reservations are phone-only at (707) 875-3344. Historical 2020 figures listed salmon day trips at $110 per person and salmon/rockfish combos at $200; 2026 rates are quoted by phone only.

The operator runs two sites that list different numbers — bodegabaysportfishing.com gives (707) 875-3344, bodegacharters.com gives 707-875-3495. The 875-3344 line matches the landing's rick@bodegabaysportfishing.com contact address and the number published alongside this fleet's current catch counts, so that is the one listed here.

Recent reports

An April 19, 2026 full-day trip on the New Sea Angler landed 190 rockfish and 38 lingcod up to 16 pounds for 19 anglers. In a July 2020 interview, Powers said "the past week or so has been some of the best salmon fishing I've seen in the last 10 years," with 20 anglers hooking over 70 salmon and landing 40 averaging 15–18 pounds.

Reviews

No third-party star rating or review count is currently cited — Yelp and TripAdvisor returned blocked fetches during research. Captain quotes from Healdsburg Tribune coverage stand in for first-party color: Powers, on the program, said the 65-foot New Sea Angler "is the perfect boat for social distancing" and described the salmon bite during a strong summer week as the best he had seen in a decade.
