Each year, the Northern California Skippers Club hosts and participates in a number of events for fishers, friends, and family.

Club Picnic
Each Summer, the Club hosts its annual club picnic for family and friends. Picnic-goers enjoy barbecued favorites including oysters, salmon, linguica, and steak, followed by a raffle of amazing prizes.
Youth Events
The Club often hosts youth events, for fishers under 16, which is a great opportunity to give back to the community and share the knowledge of fishing. Whether fishing for catfish or leopard sharks, these fishing events help spread the love of fishing — so much so that it’s not uncommon for these young fishers to grow into club members.
Fishing Trips, Camping, and More
Club members often partake in non-club events, too. It’s not difficult to get enough people interested in taking a fishing trip or going camping; with some members even going to Alaska and Mexico.
