Great fishing trip today with our star angler, five year-old Robert (Robby). This was actually Robby’s second trip on the MEGA-BITE. His first trip was when he was inside his mom six years ago! Robby started the group off by landing a nice lingcod then went to town hauling in rockfish. After a couple hours of non-stop catching Robby headed into the cabin and took a little nap. These are the kinds of trips that make memories! Rockfish limits plus for everyone today plus lingcod.

AWESOME day at Jurassic Park. First caught our bait then headed to the lingcod honey hole. First drop and it’s lingcod on! It was non-stop lingcod over the rail for about an hour then it was time to come closer to shore for rockcod. While fishing for rockcod we had something take a line and run about 100 feet then stopped. Tried bringing it in and the battle was on! Chris landed his first thresher shark! Awesome day.
