Well folks today we were at the mercy of the wind as it made for a long drive this morning. We started our day trying to get to Santa Rosa Island and around half way the wind picked up and we had to head elsewhere.

We apologize for missing posts. Our family was affected by the Thomas Fire and it made things difficult to post on time or at all. Please feel free to check our Facebook page where ALL posts are done by the Captains daily.

We spent our day fishing in deeper water all day and had very nice steady fishing on beautiful quality Vermillion and Copper Rockfish. A couple spots really got with it and people had a great time winding up doubles all around the boat.

We fished deep the whole day for big chuckles and reds. We had some nice Ling cod to go with it. The fish were hungry and ate the bait and the jig.

Excellent quality for us today with a full load of 40 anglers today. Our weather started out rather choppy most of the morning with 15-18 knots of Northeast wind.

The fishing today was challenging in the conditions we had. We got on some spots that bit and quite a few that were really slow. We caught big reds

We started out deep for lingcod and it was very successful. The quality of the Rockfish and lingcod in the Deepwater were outstanding. We went and shallow and finished up on Rockfish and caught a few whitefish

We started our day looking in some deeper water and found it to be nearly impossible due to the spinning gear, strong current and Northeast wind. We spent a little time looking around and quickly decided to make a move to new territory.

Hey folks, just heading in from a great 3/4 day trip out at the islands. The ocean was absolutely flat calm, we didn’t see a single swell all day. The smoke from the fire was still visible but the air quality off shore was far better then onshore and was completely tolerable for our entire day.

We started out deep and did OK, then we went shallow and did good, and then we ended deep. We had excellent quality fish, but it Took all day. We never got on a wide-open bite it was just a steady pic.
