Fishing with Rumble Fish - $65 per person.
Noyo Fishing Center Boats specialize in fishing the waters north of Fort Bragg. They primarily fish the Shelter Cove area and the Lost Coast. Most fishing is done in less than 50 feet of water and with light tackle. If they fish deep it is usually around 150 feet. Because of its remoteness this area is unsurpassed in the quality of fish. Limits of lings and huge sack of blacks, china cod, blues, coppers and canaries are generally the rule. We will even have crab traps out for our anglers enjoyment during dungenous crab season. The Rumblefish is the only charter boat fishing these areas out of Fort Bragg.

SALMON - $65 - per person.
Fort Bragg used to be the busiest commercial port on the California coast during salmon season. The commercial season has been drastically reduced but the fish are still here! Rumble Fish usually fishes for salmon within 10 minutes of leaving the harbor and, during the peak of the season, they run two and three trips a day. June-August are top months with the limit of two salmon, 24 inches or more, per day. 7 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

HALIBUT - The cost varies according to duration and the amount of anglers, please call the innkeeper. Usually July, August and September. Noyo Fishing Center is the only charter office which targets the pacific halibut. These fish average 50 pounds but will go well over 100. We will be fishing the Lost Coast area and the Punta Gorda reef. The limit is one per angler and, if we are fortunate to limit, we will switch to lingcod or salmon fishing.

TUNA - Prices on Tuna trips vary according to the length of trip and the amount of anglers. Please call the innkeeper. Usually July, August and September.When the longfins move close to shore we will be there chasing them. The only boat in Fort Bragg with live bait capacity, we will even go over night. Rumblefish can sleep 12 anglers but we only take ten on the overnighters. On overnight trips we will supply all meals. All tackle is provided on the tuna trips. Because of Rumblefish's speed we can run far offshore for our 12 hour tuna trips. She is capable of speeds over 30 knots. We also pack around a 1000 pounds of ice for our tuna adventures.

Crabbing - $75.00 per person
On our crabbing cruises, we will venture up or down the coast in search of the Dungeness crab. We will pull several crab traps, instructing the guests on what the differences are between female and male crabs, how to measure crabs for legal size, and how the traps work. The trip lasts about two hours. Back at the dock the guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of local wine served in a souvenir glass along with a half a crab. $40.00 per person

Gorda Trip - $100 per person
Again this year Rumble Fish is offering spectacular Gorda fishing trips.They are going to be fishing the extremely rugged and scenic area of California's remote north coast. Because of the remoteness this area is home to trophy pacific halibut, monster lingcod and rockfish. Also fast and furious king salmon fishing during the season, and later in the summer, the prized albacore tuna. Very few sport boats have the fuel capacity or the proper United States Coast Guard licensing to be able to pursue this untouched area. Passenger loads are limited for everyone's enjoyment. The trips usually last for around 12 hours and the cost will vary, according to the passenger load and the species chased.
