http://www.hmbfishing.comThe fish didn't come in like gangbusters, but one by one they kept adding up until we ended the day with a dang good shallow water score. We were just a couple handfuls of rockfish shy of 10 fish per person limits which included 11 cabezon to 7 pounds, plus they picked up 16 lingcod to 17 pounds as well as another bonus halibut, a 12 pound beauty. One of the things we like best about shallow water light tackle rockfishing is the variety of fish. Bob often uses the Forrest Gump line: "It's like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're going to get." Every day is just a little different. One day it's lings, the next it's cabezon, there's a sprinkling of halibut, and then we have the array of rockfish I like to call the shallow water smorgasbord. Use light gear, just a few ounces of weight, and now not only is the fishing productive, it's just downright fun. And that's what we like, having fun fishing. And that's what we like folks to experience with us and why we'd done this onboard the Queen of Hearts that last 17 years. So, wanna join in on the fun? We have room available tomorrow on Thursday, August 16. No need for a reservation. Just come on down and check in between 5:30 to no later than 6:15 at our shop, Half Moon Bay Sportfishing (look for the BIG yellow "TICKET OFFICE" sign). We're still running 7 days a week, but our weekends are getting pretty booked until the middle of September. We do have room on the Labor Day weekend Saturday, September 1, and we have now confirmed that we'll continue running afternoon rockfishing every Saturday afternoon in September.

Well, I finally got all the paperwork together and sorted out after returning from our vacation a week ago so I could update the scores and whoppers. Whew. What a slew of stuff! But, at long last, pretty much every score and every whopper I could pull from the reports the guys give me are listed above. If you get a chance, take a couple of minutes and check through it. Day after day of lots and lots of rockfish,......

After catching limits of rockfish their last trip out, our every-other-Monday Fishing Fools gang was ready to take another crack at the very elusive salmon. They headed to Duxbury, about the only spot within range were the salmon have been trickling through off and on, put the lines in the water and trolled. And trolled. And trolled. They did hook and land one nice salmon. Only problem was that it was the wrong kind of salmon, a silver which we......
