I have been fishing the bay area my entire life. I grew up in Rodeo California. I went to both John Swett and Salesian High School. I served in The US ARMY as a Communication Specialist. I currently work full time at Genentech in Vacaville and operate a 31foot Downeastern JC . We fish sturgeon, halibut ,rock cod and salmon. Check the blog at www.barbariansportfishing.blogspot.com.

Thursday, May 28th, 2026. We've made significant progress after a two-week hiatus. Our team is diligently working on replacing the Volvo D6 diesel engine with a long block, carefully evaluating and replacing parts as needed. With 11,000 hours on the old engine, we're optimistic about achieving similar longevity with the new one. We're aiming for a potential launch next week, with a target deadline of June 22. If you have upcoming trips planned, please expect a call from me or feel free to reach out. Alternatively, I can connect you with other options to get you on the water. For any questions, please call or text me at 510 750-4237.
