Fish Emeryville

What travelers say:

Don't go to KingFish!!!1. [RENT ROD SCAM] I called their landing service before making reservation and was told the rod rental is included in the fee. But when I got there, they said it's not included and I have to pay extra to rent rods (or I go on the trip without rods).2. [TACKLE PURCHASE SCAM] I purchased the tackle set for the fishing trip. But they refused to give me the tackle set and said they need it for the next trip. It's "BUY tackle" instead of "RENT tackle", and they SHOULD give me what I bought.3. [LOW QUALITY TACKLE] I thought their trolling halibut tackle set is the professional ones with fish flashes and other components, and that's why I purchased it when making reservation. But it turned out to be just a 16oz sinker with a cheap livebait rig, and they use frozen anchovy on the livebait rig. No wonder they catch less fish than other charters. Also I never saw my "Burlap Sack" which is supposed to be in the tackle set I purchased.4. [FAKE FISH REPORT] I was on the trip of Mar/26 so I know we only got 2 keeper halibuts, and 2 non-keepers that we released. But the fish report on the website saying we got 3 keepers. This is fake and who knows if their other reports are correct??5. [BAD ATTITUDE] When I tried to ask them for the tackle set, they in turn blamed me for tangling up with other anglers and they have to cut/remake my rigs many times. This is not true. They never needed to replace my rigs, let alone the sinkers. When I corrected them, they simply ignored me and refused to talk any more.
