"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"
Great fishing today out of Dockside
Fishing Report: 01/01/2026
Beautiful winter time ocean on this 1st day of the year 2026 so Happy New Year to everyone. The fishing was excellent. The Surfrider boat caught 56-Lingcod, a limit of rockfish and 11 crabs per person for those participating. Remember with the new 2026 bottom fishing regulations you have a 4-fish bag limit but two can be Canary rockfish which is different from the past few years. Added on to that limit you can now catch 3-Lingcod per person and this time of year the Lingcod fishing is the best time to go after them. Call the Dockside office for reservations and some weather updates coming up.
