"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"
Beautiful ocean day
Fishing Report: 03/29/2023
Another great day of fishing from the Dockside fleet with pretty much limits for all the folks on the vessels on the rockfish and some good catches of Lingcod as well. It was really a strange day for the Lingcod as several boats reported being in Lingcod nurseries and pulling in large numbers of them just a half inch or so below the twenty-two inch minimum. Crabbing depending on the boat was quite decent with some hard-as-rock Dungeness crabs heading home with some happy fishermen.

Proposed 2023 Salmon season
The 2023 ocean salmon season has put out three proposals for the upcoming summer season with marked selective Coho salmon fishing beginning June 17th and running thru the last day of August. Quotas being proposed run between 90,000 and 120,000 fish. There will be no Chinook salmon retention due to lower than expected numbers in the California zones.
There will also be a September non-marked selective coho fishery like in past years somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 fish with a possibility of a rollover from the summer quota if anything remains. There could be a possibility of a Chinook season of one fish in that time also. Final decisions will be made by the PFMC at their annual meeting May 7th.
2023 PROPOSED HALIBUT SEASON
SPRING: May 1 - June 30th, 7 days a week. Limit one fish per person. For 2023, the regulation has changed and we will now be able to keep Rockfish and Ling Cod on our offshore Halibut Trips!
SUMMER: August 3-5, then every other Thursday - Saturday.

A really nice ocean Monday morning
Fishing Report: 03/27/2023
Not a lot of information on this morning's catch but from the radio chatter it was a pretty good Lingcod day and we do know that one boat caught a limit of rockfish and was one Lingcod short of the total limit. Will try to update later in the day.
(Update)
All of the big boats out today (Surfrider-Tacklebuster-Sunrise) limited pretty much on the rockfish and were around one Lingcod+ per person. The crabbing improved to 6-8 per person on this day.
