2026 Crab Feed

2026 GGFA Crab Feed — Join Us to Support Bay-Delta Fisheries
Pull up a chair for a night of great food and even better purpose. Since 1948, the Golden Gate Fishermen’s Association has represented Northern California’s charter fleet and marine recreational anglers, working with state and federal partners to protect and restore the San Francisco Bay-Delta ecosystem and the communities who depend on healthy fisheries. Your ticket helps fuel that work.

In recent years, California’s salmon seasons faced unprecedented closures—hard on coastal families, small businesses, and the boats that carry our fishing community. Showing up to this fundraiser directly supports GGFA’s advocacy at the tables that shape fishery policy and recovery.

Reserve seats or a full table today and be part of keeping our fisheries—and the people who rely on them—strong for the long haul.
