DAILY FISHING/NEWS SUMMARY:
Sunday, August 7 - Told you last update that I'm going to have limited internet access for the next week...boy, it is real limited. Bob is in town but I'm away on a family trip right now, so the happenings on the QH are being relayed to me via quick emails...which means my reports this coming week are going to be real spuratic, so bear with me. As far as yesterday's trip, last I knew we were supposed to have 25 people going out salmon fishing on Saturday. Sounds to me like they had one very interesting trip, and we must have been fishing close to shore, because we ended up with 18 salmon, a 28 pound striper!, a thresher shark and a halibut. Boy, what a mixed bag trip that was! I don't think we've ever had that combination on the QH before all on one day in the 20+ years we've had the boat. This coming week the plan is to stick to SWLT rockfishing on the days we are open. While I'm away, please be sure to give us a call, DO NOT EMAIL, if you'd like to check our availability and to make a reservation. Also make sure to call during the day, before 4:00 p.m., to speak with the folks at our shop, as no one is around the phone after the shop closes. And as I've said several times recently, it has been crazy busy around our place at times, so please be patient when you call. If you do end up leaving a message and you don't hear back within a reasonable time, please give us a call back since sometimes messages end up in voicemail heaven. Hope you all have a great week, and I'll try my best to keep the updates coming.
Thursday, August 4 - This is what a love about rockfishing in our area...it's real consistent this time of year. Pretty much limits every day for everyone onboard. Today was no exception. 19 anglers, 19 limits consisting of 189 rockcod, 1 cabezon and 6 lingcod. FYI, I'm going to have limited access to the internet through the end of next week, so I can't promise how often I can update our website. So, if you don't see an update for a couple of days, it just means I can't get online. No worries, though...the boat is still running 7 days a week and I'm sure fishing will keep on trucking along just like is has been the last couple of weeks. If you're wondering what's up, don't hesitate to give our shop a call anytime after 7am up until 4pm. Still plenty of room for tomorrow's rockfishing trip on Friday. If you'd like to join us, just simply come on down to our shop, Half Moon Bay Sportfishing, and check in by 6:15 a.m.
Wednesday, August 3 - The day started off on the slow side but they found a spot that kicked out some of the biggest china and gopher rockfish we've seen in a while that loaded up the boat in no time flat. We ended the day with limits for all 34 anglers, 339 rockfish plus one cabezon, along with three lingcod. My schedule continues to be absolutely insane so I apologize that my reports are still spuratic. Hopefully life will settle down within a week or two and get back to something close to normal. Here's some pictures from some recent trips:
Tuesday, August 2 - After scouring the ocean this past weekend to find one salmon on Saturday and one more on Sunday, we headed up to Duxbury where a few salmon have been landed recently with a couple of lunkers in the mix here and there. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and we ended up with a very respectable score for this salmon season with 9 salmon landed for 9 anglers, with three absolutely huge salmon landed: a 22 pounder, a 26 pounder, and top honors was a 28 pounder.
