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

Besides the goodie bags and free raffel for fishing tackle that we have on these trips we will also have a contest for biggest fish of the species of fish that are caught on our charters. At the end of the year the biggest fish of each species will win a prize and these winners will go into a drawing for a grand prize. And all this is included in the cost of the trip. Look later for more on this contest.

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.

Fish Report for Ranger 85 Trip

25 anglers and the crew ventured off to the Channel Isl. from Oxnard Sportfishing on Sat. night for our second to last charters of the year. In the morning we found ourselves fishing at Santa Rosa Isl. and not at San Miguel the preferred isl. because of the strong breeze. We moved from spot to spot catching a verity of rockfish but not the quality you usually get. The last half of the trip we moved to Santa Cruz Isl. And started catching the nicer size rockfish, reds, whitefish and lingcods. A big thanks to Captain Frank and his crew for a great trip. The Ranger 85 will be running regular island trips to the end of the year so join the Ranger 85 for a great fishing experience.

Emeryville Fishing Report

Just returned from fishing on the New Huck Finn and the New Salmon Queen out of Emeryville Sportfishing. The first day we fished the Farallon Isl. for limits on rockfish up to 5lb. and some lingcods and salmon groupers. The weather was warn and the ocean was flat and Captain Jay and Dave took good care of everyone. Then on sunday we fished the New Salmon Queen. Fishing a little further north then the day before we caught nice lingcods from 12lb. to 20lb and limits of rockfish to 8lbs. We were also treated to a great show from some humpback whales. Thanks to Captian Shim and Tony.

Electra 9.20 Report

Sunday just finished the 3/4 day trip on the Electra. beautiful day with no breeze and flat calm waters. We headed south to the kelps off Del Mar where we stopped to fish some bonitos but they wouldn't bite so into the kelp we fished for the calicos. It was a steedy slow pick on the fish with sandbass, calicos some rockfish and sheephead. All in all a slow day but everyone caught something and had fun. Jackpot her first to Marina bested everyone with a nice sheephead.

Dolphin 2 fish report

Just finished the Dolphin 2 trip out of Mission Bay Sportfishing, San Diego. We started the morning abour 75 miles south of San Diego trolling and looking for kelp paddies. Most of the paddies held dorados, yellowtails and some tunas but basicly it was wide open fishing with a lot of fish lost of tangles, chewed off hooks and broken lines but in the end everyone had limits of dorado to 25lbs. Yellowfin tunas to 20lbs. yellowtails and a lone 40lb. albacore. Thanks to Captain Greg and his crew for a great trip.

This week we have a tuna trip on the Dolphin 2 on Sept. 17 with a few spots open and a ¾ day trip on the Electra out of Oceanside on Sept. 20 with lots of open spots so now is a good time to join us for some fishing and some fun.

Plenty of space on the Sept. 20 Electra trip

We have plenty of room on our 3/4 day trip on the Electra. Could be fishing for bass or perhaps for some kelp paddie dorados and tuna. Great trip for kids.
