Three generations including first timer on the ocean 11yo Blake out to the local fishing grounds. Seas were flat calm, had some fog that kept the air temps perfect, and a wide-open rockcod bite. Blake got real busy hauling in most of the fish. Before you knew it we were done and it was time to head back to port. Great first time experience for Blake. He was certainly the star of the day.
Out to the rockcod honey holes again today. Seas were big and bumpy but that didn’t stop the fish from biting. In fact, they were biting like crazy. Our group whooped ’em good today!
Tried to get back out to our last good bite spot but the winds were up and so was the water. Looked around closer to shore and WHAM, we got into a crazy bite of mixed sized blues. It was one of the best bite’s we’ve had this year. Lot’s of fun and the four teenagers, mom and dad were worked pretty hard. Great fishing!
With the red tide in town we decided instead to go out to the rockcod honey holes. A little slow at first then after moving around a bit it went to a wide open bite. Amazing fish.
Water turned a little uglier with the south swell and fog that came in. We got to our fishing grounds and were pulling in the fish big time but… the group had enough rough water and pulled the plug early.
Big southerly swell in town so only thing worth fishing for was the rockcod. Ran out to our jumbo blues honey hole and it was non-stop action. Hooked into over 100 fish and only kept the biggest. Wide open bite again!
Weather was coming in so we opted to fish local reefs for lingcod and South Rock for the jumbo blues we’ve been getting lately. Ground swell pretty much put the kibosh on lingcod but South Rock kicked out the jumbo blues non-stop! 12yo Jay and 15yo Randy did most of the muscle work and filled the box while proud dad Pete enjoyed the action. Was Jay’s first time on the ocean and he’s a natural! Good work boys!
Local potluck on perfectly calm water today. Ran out to our honey hole, dropped in our lines, and started whacking the jumbo blues. 11yo Charlie from Ft Worth area was the star of the day bringing up jumbo doubles.
Ran back out to south rock to see if we could locate the fish schools from earlier today. And we did! WHAM!!! Nailed the big blues again and had our fish within 90 minutes. Great fishing today.
Local potluck this morning and the bite was red hot for about an hour then things went quiet. Fished another couple hours and the bite turned on again. Big blues, olives, browns and a lingcod.
Another awesome day out at sea. Our bay area techies got real busy hauling in the fish today. Even had a whale show in the distance. Great time. Thank you Ji.
Local potluck today with a couple dad’s and eight year-olds. As soon as they dropped in their lines it was game on! Big blues, olives and brown. Early limits and first time on the ocean smiles.
Great water today for our Jurassic Park trip. Ran up the coast looking for lingcod and rockcod. Water still a little off for lingcod (bottom stirred up) but the rockcod were biting crazy. Came home with canary, brown, red, olive, blue and black cod. Great time.
Flat calm water for our local potluck this morning. In the beginning fish were a little on the small side. 30 minutes later WHAM! Fish got bigger, stronger, lots of doubles and a fat 15 pound lingcod. Kids won’t forget this for a long long time.
Since halibut fishing has been so good lately we all decided it was worth a shot. And it was rhe right choice! Hooked into 9 halibut and kept the biggest two. Weather was flat calm. Great catching in the halibut fishing grounds.
Ran up to Jurassic Park for lings and rockcod today. Slow Lingcod bite and great rockcod bite. Here’s a pic of Kerry, and her trusty fish buddy Mia and their ten-pound lingcod.
Up the coast today for Jurassic Park today. Fog is still in town and the water turned a bit rough from yesterday. After we got our rockcod we headed home for halibut. Really nice grade of reds, blues, olives and browns today.
The weather stayed perfect and the fish were hungry! Went for halibut and we had a halibut slug fest all afternoon. Five year-old Ben and seven year-old Finn got to haul in a few halibut too. Fantastic day.
Gorgeous day on the water. Flat seas, no wind, and a wee bit foggier than usual. Ran out to South Rock for a local potluck trip. Took some time to get the fish to bite but after an hour or so the bite went wide open! A couple hours into the trip we had a Great White shark circling less than one hundred feet from the boat. Sat there for about ten minutes then moved on. WOW! Great folks and great rockcod fishing today.
Happy Fourth of July!!! Took out our good friends from Maryland and Watsonville for local potluck. Got our rockcod plus a nice Lingcod and back in time for the 4th festivities. Even cruised the wharf for a great sealion photo op.
Wonderful day for our local potluck today. Fish were biting good too. 1st time on the ocean and first fish ever is Ami, from Villanova, PA with just a couple fish from her limit.
Great weather today for Jurassic Park. As soon as we dropped in our lines 13 year-old Julian hooked into nice big fish. After getting our cod we came in closer to port for halibut. No takers but a ton of rockcod. Picture shows “some” of their catch.
Wind picked up for our afternoon local potluck trip. Headed to closer fishing grounds and dropped in our lines and wham! Fish are biting! Got all our fish and return early. Go Army!
Weather was great for our local potluck trip and the bite was wide open! Got our fish and lots of laughs too. Great family from Utah and Colorado to fish with.
Up the coast again for Jurassic Park. Water was pretty bad today and made fishing pretty difficult. As soon as we dropped in the fish bite was on! Came in closer to fish halibut and lingcod. No takers today but we got rockcod.
