Beautiful Memorial Day weekend. We ran two trips Saturday and one trip Sunday. All were successful with limits and lots of releases, great crews and lots of laughs. The fish have stabilized into the summer stock of 18 to 22 inch range. Out largest was 33" which is large for this time of year. Storm lures seem to be the preference. If you're going on your own, make sure you bring a variety, because the colors change daily Saturday white caught the most. Sunday it went from grey to chartreuse/green, to chartreuse with sparkle in the afternoon. Most of our fish were caught behind the gooses although a lot of boats caught at #81 to #82 and at the false channel.

The Pro-AM Rockfishing Tournament happened last weekend. We fished all three days and had a great time, caught lots of fish and was on the daily leader board all three days. Day one we placed 12th overall and 5th in ladies. Day number two put us in 3rd place ladies and day number three 8th place children's. No money, but we had a great time. See the gallery for pictures

We had a make-up charter the last weekend of the season. It was a picture perfect day, but not a perfect fishing day. We had a preview the day before when all boats from the marina that fished came back empty. A lot of times that means the next day, they will be feeding. We went south to the buoy 78 and started marking fish. We fished for 5 hours before we caught our first and only fish. They just weren't biting. It was a hard day for all 5 Rod n' Reel boats that day. I guess the reason was, the water temperature drop from 49 deg. To 41.5 deg in just a few days. The charter, Ken Mansley with family and friends, and Kevin Freking, all experienced fishermen, were a lot of fun and are all going to fish the spring rockfish tournament with us next May. I will try to make it up to them.

Last weekend we had excellent catches of Mackerel and Bluefish using drone and diving planers. each trip caught around 25 fish mostly Mackerel in the 20 to 26 inch class, with the bluefish around 15 to 20 inches. Most were caught in front to the radar towers in 18 to 25 feet of water.
