Hard to describe the 2026 salmon season only to say it has been fantastic. We have seen a few days here and there where it is slow but ever since the last part of June it has been incredible. We are getting some limits and many trips close to limits but there are so many native throw back fish caught and released but the folks on the Dockside trips are reeling in lots of fish and having lots of fun
The Tackle buster today brought home 20 keepers and landed 50+ native fish. They had over 70 fish on the hooks and reeling on them. They are also beautiful sized fish. It's a great time to go salmon fishing.
Bottom fishing is also very strong with pretty much limits on all of the Dockside boats. Crabbing today Improved on the boats reporting to about 4-7 per person.
Afternoon bottom fishing is also like the morning on fire aboard the Surfrider.
Decent weather is forecasted thru the end of next week by one of the forecaster sites.

The ocean weather is two things right now that being really nice ocean conditions but very warm water around 58 degrees. Three to four days ago it was around 47 degrees. The warmer water makes the fishing a tougher go with not many Lingcod today and the salmon bite also was a little slower this morning. The good news is the winds an out of the north today and expect to stay that way for the better part of the next week. The colder water should improve the salmon and Lingcod fishing. Today the bottom fishing for the rockfish was really good and even the crabbing was a bit slower with numbers around 2-6 per person depending on the boat.

Tuna / Fishing Report:

The Surfrider had a 8-hour live bait trip going after the Lingcod this morning. If you have never heard of this trip they first go out and jig off the bottom in the sandy areas and catch Sand Dabs sometimes commonly referred to as "Lingcod Candy". Well that is what they did and then they went after the Lingcod on the rocky reefs where the Lings live and limited out on the "toothy critters". To make his passengers even happier they also limited out on the rockfish as well. Just to make it a little bit better if possible they pulled up enough crab to give each person 10-crabs. If you have never done this trip it should be on your next edition to your bucket list.

When the rockfish bite is a little slower most of the time its gives the Lingcod more of a chance to swallow a hook.

Tuna / Fishing Report:

05/12/2026

It was a strange morning and for the first time in quite some time the fishing was slower today. One boat had a good trip on the Lingcod but was really slow on the rockfish. The other charter boats out there also found slower rockfish catches. The water temperature with the northerly winds we have had lately dropped almost five degrees which could be the culprit. The winds later this morning turned around out of the south so that alone will raise the water temp.The crabbing however was pretty good on the Sunrise as he bought in 54 really nice crabs.
