Slow, slow day for salmon today. We hooked 3 early in the morning, but, we didn’t manage to get them in the boat. All 3 spit the hooks before they were in net range. The weather was pretty nice and the rock fish were up real high on the nearest reef, so we stopped by…
DetailsAnother nice day of local rockfish. Today we went out with 14 anglers and caught limits of good fish. Plenty of Olives, and Blues. We also had a fair amount of Vermillions and Canaries.
