http://www.hmbfishing.comSorry for the break in the reports. Took a trip to Yosemite with my Mom for Mother's Day. Oh my goodness, pictures do not do Yosemite any justice whatsoever. I had never been there before, even though I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life...what a crime. It was absolutely breathtaking. The granite faces, waterfalls, meadows...I now know why people come from around the world to see it. Anyway, back to fishing. Capt. Randy headed out to where Bob had been picking away at the salmon last week and said they started hooking fish right off the bat. Best action was first thing in the morning and then it was a slow pick the rest of the day with a fish here, a fish there. They probably lost one for every one they landed, ending the day with a mixed grade of fish with a couple near the 20 pound mark. We're rockfishing tomorrow on Wednesday with plenty of space available, and then we'll be back on the salmon hunt Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and there's still lots of room on those trips, too.

I wish I could say we caught limits, but we didn't. But we did end the day with 8 salmon for 7 anglers, sending everyone home with a salmon each of them caught, with the big fish making a thud on the deck and weighing in at 23 pounds. This really was not bad considering we were fishing at yesterday's salmon hot spot above the Deep Reef that must have attracted over 200 commercial boats in addition to a handful......
Report Date:
Yes, the salmon are biting! There are fish close to Half Moon Bay and there are fish below the South Farallon Islands, and both locations are producing again today according to the reports we're hearing. Both areas produced limits for everyone with fish up to 30 pounds! We're rockfishing today, but have a salmon trip scheduled for tomorrow. It looks like the weather is going to pick up again next week, so now's the time to jump and get out......
