We have been having great fishing for barracuda, sandbass locally and how about white seabass fishing at Catalina boats returning with limits of seabass and down south in Mexican waters the tuna keep moving north, it won't be long before the overnight boats will be into great tuna fishing. We have 3 tuna charter trips lined up for the year and anglers are starting to sign up so don't wait too long to join us or you could be left behind.

Oceanside 95 Yellowtail

We had good yellowtail fishing at the Coronado Isls. on our first annual Dan Hernandez Youth Foundation, Richard Helgren Memoral, fund raiser trip. Most of the yellows were caught on fly lined sardines and a few were caught on the surface iron fishing at the Rockpile. We thank the 10 anglers who each donated $500.00 to the Foundation to be on this trip. With this money we can plan on introducing more kids to the experience of fishing the ocean and lakes. Congratulations to Marvin Ezaki who's 22lb. yellowtail made him the first name to go on the Richard Helgren Memorial Trophy. Also many thanks to Joe Helgren and Captain Tim and the crew of the O-95 for making this first annul trip a great one.

Ranger 85 fishing report

Just came back from our Ranger 85 Charter. We had some wind but the swells were small. We had great fishing at Santa Rosa Isl. reds, chuckleheads and lingcods. Had to do alot of drifts over small stones and ridges but we were able to get our limits of rockfish. We needed a pound or more of sinker to hold the bottom. The hot set up was a 1/2oz all white B-52 bucktail with a 4 inch white AA twin tail and a strip of squid on a two hook ganion. If you want to get in on this hot fishing with us we still have two more trips out of Oxnard, on the Mirage fishing on Thur. June 10 and on the Pacific Dawn fishing on Fri. June 25. This is a good time to fill your freezer with nice fish. Call me if you would like to join Dan for some fishing.

Channel Isl Fishing

Went fishing on the Apollo to San Migel and Santa Rosa Isl. on sunday. Got limits of rockfish, reds and chuckles and a legal ling. We fished in 300 ft. of water for the reds and 90 ft. for the lings. The hot color for the jigs was white, I used the white 1/2oz bucktail jig on my ganion with a strip of squid to get my fish and used a 4 1/2oz glow MM2 jig for the ling. If you want to get in on this great action we have a trip on the Ranger 85 on May 28 $155.00 we may even get into the white sea bass. http://www.dansshoppingcart.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=dansshoppingcart&Product_Code=FT_Charter_52&Category_Code=FT

White Seabass

A white seabass was caught at the Channel Isl. on the Mirage so this might be the time for the exotics to start to bite. We have two charters coming up at Oxnard area. The first is on the Pacific Dawn on May 23 then we have a makeup trip on the Ranger 85 on May 28. Spots are still available on both trips but should fill fast so don't wait to long. Check out these charters.

What's With the Wind.

Windy conditions has made us postphone our Ranger 85 trip until May 28. By this time we should be into a summer like weather phase no more storms from the north. Now is the time to sign-up for some seabass and calico fishing.

Yellowtail Trip

Here is your chance to sign-up for our Electra trip out of Oceanside on April 23. Might have a chance at the yellowtails seen at San Clemente Isl. and should have great calico bass fishing. Come see us and sign-up for this trip at the Day At The Docks on Sun. April 18 and get a jig kit of Magic Metals and B-52's.

Fishing Report on the Outrider

Just finished our first charter of the year on the Outrider. With a week of poor weather behind us we were still into a period of questionable fishing. With no live squid and no reports of fish at Catalina and San Clemente Islands we decided to try Santa Barbra Isl. By morning we woke up to some wind and choppy sea conditions. The day went moving from spot to spot Looking for Calicos and seabass but most of the fish were sheepheads, whitefish, red rockfish and a few short lingcods. The sun was out and as the day went on the wind and swells came down but the calicos and seabass wouldn't bite so everyone came home with a mixed bag of fish and had a great time on the Outrider with crew John, Jeff and Manny.

PS: The Freedom was going to San Nicolas Isl. but ended up at San Clemente Isl. They had good rockfish fishing but more important they saw big schools of yellowtails cruising around but not yet biting so it won't be long before do. So join us on our next trip on the Electra out of Helgrens Sportfishing, Oceanside departing April 22 and fishing the 23rd at San Clemente Isl.

Salmon Opener

After a 3 year closer on the ocean salmon season for California will open on April 3, 2010. The close of the season will be determined be the Pacific Fisheries Management Council and the DFG. This could be in months or a few weeks of the opener date. We will once again be able to fish for them. Fore us in Southern California waters any salmon caught will probably be an incidental catch. They must be 20" minimum length and a limit of 2 per day. Good Luck

Indian Trip new date

Because of the bad weather coming our way we are canceling the Dec. 11 trip on the Indian. The trip has been rescheduled for fishing on Sun. Dec 20 leaving on Sat night 9pm. If you can make this new date let me know or we can refund your money. If any of you that couldn't make the original date but would like to go on the new date go to the web site and sign up.

Wed. weather report for Indian trip

Looking at the weather reports doesn't look good. The tail end of the next storm is dipping well south into Baja waters and the long range boats report a lumpy ride as they head home to San Diego. We will make our final decision on the trip later this afternoon, just waiting to hear from Chris about a new date for the trip maybe next Thur. fish on Fri. I will be calling you about the final decision.

Weather watch for Indian Trip

Watching the weather for the upcoming trip. The first storm didn't affect the Mexican waters. Will see what the second storm acts. Will keep you updated on Wed. In the meantime the fishing tackle suggestion is. We will fish in waters to 400ft. deep. You need sinkers to 1lb. You can use up to a 4 hook ganion. If you us mono line use 40lb. test minimum. Braided or dacron works the best.
