Ocean Fishing Update

The summer ocean fishing season is up and running.

We had a tuna trip on the 7th  with no fish landed. Yesterday the 9th, three boats in the same area averaged 38 tuna per boat. So, the Tuna are here. I filleted 25 of them. Nice grade of fish, average about 18lbs.

As stated on earlier posts the all depth Halibut was excellent and is closed for July and will open again in August.  The inside 40 fathoms Halibut is open 7 days a week and the catch rate has been about 50%. It appears the fish are “there or not,”  no in between.

Our Rockfish trips have been around 90% limits, with about 50% of the Lingcod being landed. The ocean crabbing on these trips is still lacking in numbers but should pick up soon.

The bay crabbing has picked up and is excellent with a few limits being landed. Some 60 plus trips.

The Salmon are not here in numbers and the catch is poor to put it mildly, but that can change at any time.

Give us a call for more information or to book a trip at 1-800-865-7441,  1-541-265-7441
