Summer time weather has shown its face. Great sea conditions and sun shine all day made for a great trip down the coast. Big Vermillion, Olive and Copper rockfish sent passengers home with some big bags of fish. The biggest fish on the day was a tie between three 15 pound Lings. Fantastic day all…

Of course just like any local trip, we had to keep moving away from the small Rosy rockfish and we also had several small Lings. We ended up with nice overall bags. Only one keeper…
