Proposed 2023 Salmon season
The 2023 ocean salmon season for the upcoming summer season with marked selective Coho salmon fishing beginning June 17th and running thru the last day of August. The quota proposal accepted is 110,000 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,Black Cod and Lingcod on our offshore Halibut Trips!

Lingcod and more Halibut on bottom fish trips
Fishing Report: 06/03/2023
What a beautiful ocean out there this morning and the rockfish were harder to catch today on some of the boats than the Lingcods were. Lots of Lingcod caught on all of the boats today and quite a few rockfish but they were a little harder to put their mouth on hooks today. Still some limits on the rockfish for most of the folks out with us today. Onshore bottom fishing has produced quite a few incidental Halibut caught this year so far and today there were possibly four more caught on the Triumph, Tacklebuster and one of the other 6-pac boats. Crabbing is slower than what we would like averaging around 2.5 to 3 per person.

New Halibut regulations
Fishing Report: 06/02/2023
Beginning June 12, anglers can add another halibut to their cooler for a two-fish bag limit. For the Central Coast Subarea, the increased bag limit applies to the nearshore fishery as well as the spring and summer all-depth fisheries.
After a month of halibut fishing, about 120,000 pounds of halibut quota remain unharvested in the Central Coast Subarea. The halibut retained are larger this year than last year, though the fishery is tracking like 2022 when some quota was left on the table
Give Dockside a call for the next available Halibut trip.
