We are enjoying epic early spring like weather with temps reaching the 60's on the water and the fish are responding. The water temp has risen approximately 2-3 degrees in the past week and rising water temps are resulting in more aggressive bites and often times more aggressive fights. We have been catching fish consistently since early January with fish up to 86" long. YES, 86" long!

After a slow down the last couple of weeks due to big tides and cold water, bigger fish are coming over the rail in better numbers the past few days. Boats ate starting to report better numbers and better grade of Halibut from the central bay with Striped Bass being fairly consistent for the past 2 weeks. There are dates with good tides still available in May and later this summer. Get on the books while they’re still available.

Our private charter of four made a strong call and agreed to postpone their day to Saturday due to high winds. It was the right call. 24 hours later and we had 70 degree temps with a light breeze. The day started out gorgeous with glass calm water and a beautiful 20 minute cruise out to where we've been getting fish recently. The timing was perfect as we put in right at the first push of water for the outgoing tide. It didn't take long, and as soon as we were done with our morning lesson on how the sturgeon bite, we got bit! It was game on with solid hook set. The fish took us for a ride around the boat, stayed close to home for a bit before lowering her shoulders and heading down river. It was almost time to pull the anchor and roll with the fish when our angler Joe did a great job of turning her around and getting her to work her way back to us. But she wasn't having it, and decided to turn her head again. When she did, there was a collective "sigh" when the tip of tthe road popped up in that all too familiar action. Yes, the hook pulled. Just a little too much pressure and the hook was'nt set as good as we thought. It was a great battle that lasted for 15 minutes and we're calling it a long distance release on a fish that was 100% an oversized Sturgeon that was going back regardless. We had some other missed solid opportunities, but the fish ended up being a little passive on their bites throughout a fairly large tide. We ended the day with a HOT under size that jumped completely out of the water before coming aboard and and our crew got to examine their first sturgeon. We have some March and early April dates available if you want to get in on the spring action, please let us know. Send a message, text, call or DM.
