What a day on the Surfrider

"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"

Tuna / Fishing Report:

06/22/2026

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.

The fishing even on a really nice ocean this morning was a little on the slower side. All the clients onboard caught fish but the bite seemed to be a little off this morning like it sometimes will do. The picture shows a really nice Lingcod caught this morning and there were a good number of these caught. When the rockfish bite is a little slower most of the time its gives the Lingcod more of a chance to swallow a hook.

DOCKSIDE CHARTERS
"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"

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.
