Rockfish and Ling Cod continue to be very strong. We are landing limits of Rockfish early in the trips leaving plenty of time for effort on Ling Cod. The Ling Cod bite is variable from day to day, not very many limits taken but there are some nice fish coming over the rail. Crabbing has picked up quite a bit, 7-10 per person.
Coho will open up again Friday Saturday and Sunday. We will see how it goes. There has been some of the selective season quota rolled into the non-selective season which will give us a more robust season for them.
Offshore conditions and a mechanical problem have slowed our effort on tuna but we have boats out today. We will let you know how it goes.
The Long Leader fishery is still awesome and producing limit catches. Not much more to say about that.
ODFW has informed us that the all-depth fishery for Ling Cod and Rockfish will open September 3rd rather than October 1st. This is because our allowable mortality quotas for Yellow Eye Rockfish are in good shape for the year. Because of that Rockfish and Ling Cod may be retained along with Halibut in the all-depth fishery. Unfortunately Ling Cod may not be retained on the Long Leader fishery because of the 10 fish bag limit on the Long Leader.
We also got notice from ODFW that Halibut is going to a two fish per day limit due to the high amount of quota left on the table. Unfortunately we have NO space available until the 27th of September providing there is quota remaining.
Make your reservation now so you don't miss out. Remember, Dockside does not overcrowd the boats, that means more room to fish of course, providing you with a premium trip. Online reservations are an option also, you can make a reservation on a space available basis even the day before the trip. Don't miss out.
Running 5-hour bottom Fishing and crabbing and 1 and 2-hour Whale Watching Trips daily, weather permitting.
