Storms have really made their mark this week with big swells and big wind. We fished all over today and managed to find some willing rockcod. Lots of fun and lots of holding on.
Jurassic Park today with clear skies and calm seas. The lingcod were biting today! Managed to keep five nice lingcod and a ton of nice sized rockfish (pacific snapper). Lot’s of happy smiles. 86 year-old Poppy brought in the biggest lingcod all by himself. Wouldn’t let anyone near his rod!
Another perfect fishing day as we ran out for salmon. No whales today but we did find salmon. Not many fish landed today. Salmon fishing is back to slow again. Storm coming in tomorrow so it will be a couple days before we get back into some good salmon counts.
Awesome fishing day with an awesome family. Ran out to Jurassic Park to get our rockcod then spent the afternoon fishing for salmon. More whales than we could keep track of. Amazing site watching these whales feed all around us. And we got salmon while watching! Happy birthday 14yo Cal and congrates on your shark too!
Since salmon has been slow we opted instead for Jurassic Park. Water was a bit nasty with swells and high winds. We covered a lot of territory and were finally rewarded with some rockfish. Our group from Wounded Warriors were real troopers today putting up with big water and big wind. Fun group.
Our firstJurassic Park trip of the season and was great! 40+ pacific snapper and some lingcod. Happy campers. Emma was our highliner and John was the lincod slayer.
Bit of a bumpy ride out to the grounds today and a ton of boats for the salmon opener. Had six hookups but three were too short, one came off at the boat, another never did show up and got one in the box. Fish are still scattered but should start seeing better numbers within a few days.
It’s been a while since Mother Nature gave us good water conditions to fish and today was on! Awesome day at Jurassic today. The fish were on a good bite! Even found a lingcod. Good water and weather but tomorrow is blown out. Happy New Year everyone! See you in April when our fishing season reopens.
Weather was okay but the fish didn’t want to bite with the king tide (low tide -1′ high tide +6′). We got fish, just not as many as we would have liked.
Jurassic Park today. Ran out to the deep and had some difficulty keeping the lines straight with the fast drift. Found some willing snapper then headed closer to shore for lingcod. Not a big catch today.
Water was not so nice today. Ran out to Jurassic Park and found a couple lings and some nice canary, yellowtail, and greenspot pacific snapper. bUmPy WaTeR today.
Another great day out at Jurassic Park. Lingcod are biting! After our lingcod we went for snapper and nailed em. Crew made fresh ceviche with a few rockcod for the ride back to the harbor.
Tuna trip today. After catching our live mackerel ran up to the fingers as far as the 25 line. Then trolled out another 10 miles, then back downhill for another 20 miles. No tuna caught on any of the boats in the tuna grounds. Water temps showing it might be too cold to hold fish. After a long day and 60+ miles of searching, this may have been our last tuna trip for the season.
Water was perfect today as we headed out for lingcod and rockfish. We found ’em but not the number we got yesterday. With the storm and swells gone there’s a lot of feed in the water now and the fish have been feeding at night making our catching a challenge.
Still a bit of a lump on the Jurassic Park grounds with wind but after a couple hours the weather settled down and the fish bite was crazy with the biggest blues yet this year. Great day.
Still have a bit of a swell in town and it knocked down the nearshore local potluck fishing a bit. Tomorrow we fish offshore and should have better results.
