http://www.hmbfishing.comWith an absolutely flat calm gorgeous ocean, Capt. Bob decided to burn some fuel and try some of his favorite spots down at New Years Island below Pigeon Point. A lot of these spots will be closed when the Central Coast MLPAs go into effect after the regulatory process is completed, and Bob wanted to give our group today what might be the last chance in their lifetime to see New Years from a boat. We had several fathers and sons enjoying a day together, and the kids showed their elders how to lay the fish away. In addition to a good day of fishing, there were sea otters to check out on the way down and back and thousands upon thousands of jellyfish floating in a big patch, so many it makes a big white slick in the water. Not many bar casters onboard, but a nice 15 pound lingcod took top honors.

Today was the first of our limited load rockfishing Wednesdays. Lots of room at the rail, lots of room on the decks, only a handful of coolers...pretty nice for one of our more popular days of the week. The deeper water just keeps cranking out big giant reds, coppers and brownies. We can't do better than limits of those fish, and we're not going to kill rockfish we can't keep to try to see if we can add a few......

Limits in the morning, limits in the evening...life is good. Capt. Bob ran the boat in the morning down below Pigeon Point and found the fish biting and ending the day with easy limits. Capt. Randy ran the boat in the afternoon, leaving the dock a little after 3:15 and heading back with limits for all 22 onboard just a little after 6:45, giving him plenty of time to get back well before dusk. We'll be offering afternoon rockfishing trips......
