http://www.hmbfishing.comCapt. Randy's at the helm today and I told him he needed to work a little of his magic to find some fish for us. Well, by 10:00 I heard they had a 20 pounder in the boat. Not bad, Randy. They had one more bite for the day and landed that fish, too, a 15 pounder. So the final tally for the day: two bites, two nice fish. That just made up our minds...TIME FOR A SCHEDULE CHANGE: On Tuesday, May 1, we will start "Pigeon Point Rockfishing". The rockcod season this year opens at different times in different areas. The official "opener" in our area when we can start our SWLT rockcod season at our local reefs opens June 1, but, as of May 1, the territory below Pigeon Point opens. Pigeon Point is about an hour and 20 minute boat ride south for us, kinda the southern-most part of where we tend to go rockfishing. We were waiting to see if the salmon would cooperate before we decided to make the run to Pigeon. Pretty obvious the salmon have decided to play hide and seek, and we're tiring of the game. So let's go rockfishing. Our first official Pigeon Point Rockfishing trip has now been scheduled for Tuesday, May 1. We may very well make a lot of schedule changes for May based on what happens on that first Pigeon Point Rockfishing trip as long as the rockcod cooperate better than the salmon have, so stay tuned. We'll make our next decision after we run that first trip.

After scouring the areas offshore and south yesterday and coming up empty, not much of a choice but to head back to the area off Montara to see if we could at least put something in the box. But it was not to be. There were only a few fish caught for the fleet, and unfortunately we weren't one of the lucky few today.......
Report Date:
We ended the day yesterday with three bites: one was a shaker and the other two fish went "pa-too-ee" and spit the hook before we could get a glimpse of them. So, time to keep the offshore waters honest. Capt. Bob headed down and out off Pigeon Point and tested the waters all the way out to where the bottom drops off to 1,000 feet, as he puts it, "I've caught tuna closer than where I'm fishing today."
