Today was a swell day (pun intended). Today, we had a private charter of 10 anglers who were ready to try their hand at a Rockfish/Dungeness crab combo trip. The weather started out pretty mellow and pulling crab pots was the first order of business. The pots were coming up with 2-4 crabs each…
New Horizon, with Capt Rod and DH Kevin, reports in with 40 crab and 130 rockfish for 18 anglers. Check our website for trips and availability. See you on the boat. We also found out that yellowtail rockfish will bite a slim Jim
Today was a tough day of fishing. First we weren’t finding any hungry fish. We decided to look somewhere else after 30 minutes. I noticed some bonito boils in the distance so we trolled a couple lines and landed 2 fish. We would have fished longer but they were moving the opposite direction of where…
Slow and steady wins the race was our motto for today. Deckhand Andrew and our 8 anglers pulled our 20 pots that came out to 48 Dungeness crab, which is 6 a piece if you don’t want to do the math. After finishing up our crab portion of the trip we headed for Cypress point…
Deckhand Alfredo and I set out this morning with 16 fisherman for our Rockfish/crab combo trip.

We pulled 73 Dungeness crab and 2 Rock crab! The…

Today reminded me of something that my old boss used to tell me all the time when I was a young Captain just starting my career. He would regularly say “The harder you work, the luckier you are.” Well, today was a lot of work and a lot of fun. We hit the live bait…
Another great day spent on the waters of the Monterey peninsula today. We set off into the dark in search of live bait for an attempt of making a memorable trip for our 5 anglers. Trusty Deckhand Andrew and our stowaway and fellow Captain Isaiah were up for some fun on the rock cod grounds.…
Good day everyone. Today on the New Horizon we ran 2 four hour rock fish trips. We started the morning with a steady bite with good quality fish, the bite slowed down and ended up with a total of 123 fish for 18 anglers. The second trip started slow and I moved around quite a…
This morning we took advantage of the of shore winds. The ocean was calm and visibility for miles. We made the 2+ hour ride to Pt. Sur. We had whales and dolphins on the way down and the ride home. Fishing was excellent. Total count was 210 quality rockfish and a nice ling cod. Andrew…
