Today was a fast action day. We were heading down the coast towards Carmel bay to start our day. All along the way big schools of fish were all over the rocks we were passing over. I couldn’t stand passing over any more fish without at least seeing what they were. We dropped in on…
Chubasco was loaded up with a big group of kids from Merced high school today. Sun shine and calm seas made for a nice day of fishing. A quick bite in shallow water of all different types of fish including some very nice bocaccio and canary rockfish. Sea conditions worsened later in the day but…
Bottom fish, bottom fish, bottom fish! Mother nature decided to test our anglers today. While searching for a good starting spot it became apparent we were in for a hoot and a half. After trying our luck with a few small, fast moving schools of fish, the decision was made to change location and approach.…
Hey guys, Captain Isaiah here with the fish report for Tuesday. Took out a chartered group of highschoolers from our local city of Greenfield for a quick four hour trip. Great group of enthusiastic first timers. Fish weren’t exactly on fire but the kids had a blast, and the first fish on the boat was…

First thing in the morning Amber and Katlyn were just about to finish checking in the charter when suddenly the Fish and Game licensing system went down……
Went down the coast today and fished with whole squid and strips of squid on 2 hook rigs. A lot of fish were showing on the meter but, the fishing started out slow. After deciding that the problem was most likely the sound of the engines running, and not the fisherman or our tactics, I…
The crew at J&M has spent some time reflecting on the past season as winter time rolls in. We learned a lot this first year as a crew. While some of our crew members have been fishing commercially and recreationally their whole lives, some learned all the ropes as time went on this season. We…
Our first Salmon season as a new company! Our crew learned a lot this season about the fishery and about fishing in general. Some of our crew has been commercially and recreationally fishing for salmon for years while others had their first season on the books. Fishing has been tough the past few years…
Great day on the Chubasco! Weather conditions were decent. We fished squid for live bait to start our day and ended up with limits of Lingcod (26) and 130 Rockfish for 13 anglers.
