The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

Storm’s making fish a bit skittish and the water was a wee bit bUmPy but that didn’t hold back our crew from getting into some nice fish.

Great family group from San Jose today out for Jamie’s birthday party. What a blast! Lots of fun catching canary, china, blue, brown and red pacific snapper.

Slow start today up the coast so decided to go deep. Good move too. We got our pacific snapper, lingcod and a petrale sole.

Jurassic Park today and the fish were ready for us! Here’s a couple before and after photos of Von. In just one year Von got much bigger and so did the fish. Awesome family fishing day. 74 year old Grandpa Dan also landed a 90 pound shark that we let go not to mention today was his personal best with a six pound pacific red snapper.

Beautiful afternoon with light winds, calm seas and air temp around 70. Our local potluck trip was great with six limits of canary, blue, olive, brown and red pacific snapper and a nice lingcod. Great time.

Awesome local potluck. John brought his magic squid, including a special scent, and whacked two halibut and a big lingcod. Also came home with limits of canary, blue, olive, brown, and red pacific snapper. Great day.

Limits of snapper including 24 reds and half-dozen lingcod!

Flat as a pancake water today for our Jurassic trip. Stopped and caught our live bait then headed for the deep. These fish were big today with yellowtail pushing four pounds, canary, red pacific snapper and petrale sole. Crushed it. That big fish is a cowcod that we released.

Awesome day for Jurassic. Got some quality lingcod, cabazon, snapper and a surprise halibut. Yum!

Great Jurassic Park trip with lots of laughs, snapper, some lingcod and petrale sole.

It’s vacation time! We’re out of town. Tom & Kai will be back in the saddle August 21. See you all soon.

Local potluck today was good. Nice rockfish and lingcod.

Awesome trip to Jurassic Park today and what a great mix of big reds, lings and a wolf eel! Third one in 15 years!

Wee bit foggy this morning and 63 degrees… perfect for fishing our local potluck today. Hammered out the rockcod and had a surprise 18 pound lingcod to throw in the batch. Great day and the kids were on their game!

Another killer rockfest at Jurassic Park today. Big reds with various other snapper, lingcod and petrale sole.

August already? Time flies when you’re catching fish. Especially big fish from the deep with live bait. What a great day with three teenager brothers, mom, dad and Greg.

Pretty fun day at Jurassic Park. After catching our live bait we went for big fish. Got lingcod and snapper topped with a lot of laughs and smiles.

Another amazing MEAT RUN today with a lot of laughs, 240 pounds of lingcod, halibut, snapper and cabazon!

MEAT RUN again and double wow!!! We filled the fish boxes today with 14 lingcod, a couple petrale sole, 55 snapper, and a nice fat halibut. Live bait worked wonders today.

MEAT RUN today and WOW!!! tons of fish using live bait including a dozen nice lingcod, a dozen+ big red snapper and a whole bunch of olive, blue, black, copper, brown pacific snapper.

Since the salmon have left the area we switched over to Jurassic Park fishing. Weather was keeping us from fishing deep so we followed the coast. Got into some nice black, blue, olive snapper and a lingcod.

Great afternoon trip for our local potluck trip. Wind laid down and the fish were biting good! Lot’s of big blue, copper, olive, black and red pacific snapper.

Awesome trip to Jurassic Park today. As soon as we dropped in we had lingcod on.

Not as much wind today so headed up the coast for bigger fish. Took a while but we found ’em and they were biting like crazy toward the end. Big blacks, blues, olives, browns and red pacific snapper. Teenagers Leo and Victor did most of the hauling for the dads and uncles.

Off to the big fish again. Wind was up so stayed a little closer to port. Git into the fish big time! What a blast with out friends from Austin Texas. Great trip!

Wind still in town so after catching live bait we fished closer to shore and started hauling in big black, blue, olive and copper pacific snapper and an 18# lingcod. Great fishing today.

Windy Afternoon so we fished closer to port again and what a great catch! BIG blacks, olives, blue pacific snapper and a blue lingcod. The kids were hauling in fish two at a time.

Still got some ugly weather in town so we had to fish closer to port. Got a good mix of olive, red, brown, blue, black, canary and red pacific snapper.

Winds still whipped up for our afternoon local potluck but that didn’t deter our group from Modesto where it was 100 degrees today. We fished close to port and we nailed ’em good! Happy Birthday Ed. It was a cool 63 degrees.

Pretty wild ride out to Jurassic grounds today. Winds were not exactly what the weatherman forecasted. Our group stayed tough and we had to really fish hard in big water and wind to get fish today.
