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. The weather was fantastic again as a light breeze from the Northeast brushed the surface of the gentle swells. The crabbing was very good for us this go round. We pulled 73 Dungeness crab and 2 Rock crab! The…
Nice morning on the bay, a little roll but nice. No wind. We ran crab gear first and had 2 around commercial grade Dungeness crab. We the headed to fill some burlap sacks with rockfish. Still a nice day but the fishing was a little slow until the last hour and a half. We ended…
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…

Today was kind of an unusual day. Deckhand Reed and I set off with 14 anglers looking for some rockfish on our 4 hour morning trip. The weather was a little peculiar as we had wind coming from the north and current swirling around outside the point. Every time we got some fish to bite…
