Tom and Lorraine Lovato sent in the report from last weekend:"Hello just want to share our fishing trip with you. My family had a wonderful time and the crabbing. Well let the pics tell you. Fished both on the beach and the pier. Caught 2 off the beach and 4 off the pier on Friday. Then myself, Son, Nephew and Dad caught an additional 22 on Saturday off the pier. By the time the group photo was taken my Son, Nephew and Dad ate 4 for lunch.
Thank You for making our trip possible. Every one was extremely helpful." Thank you, Tom and Lorraine. Glad that you did well on the crab and happy that we could help. Not everybody did even close to as well as you guys and a lot of people went home without a crab last weekend. It's nice to see somebody's crab mojo is working.
Here's a picture from yesterday. The salmon weighed 21 pounds and was caught in 270 feet of water off Bodega Head and 175 feet OTW. There were quite a few other salmon caught in the same area, 270 to 300 feet of water, 175 to 190 feet OTW. The 16 pound halibut was caught near Marshall on the Fluke.
Eddie Kim had a few dry runs while halibut fishing this year, but today Eddie caught his limit by Hog Island with the big one weighing 18 pounds. Okay, Eddie, you can relax a bit now.
Good looking catches...
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to make sense out of the Bodega Bay Buoy forecast , the buoy report was for nasty waters - lots of wind chop that read like it was unfishable out there, I would have thought at the 300 foot line it would have been pure slop only to find out peeps were out there fishing - what gives? 2 hour trip for me so I can't run down everyday to see if it is fishable.
More reliance on Windy.com?
Valley fever!
DeleteDid Eddie say what his setup was by chance?
ReplyDeleteFish the river no swells or white caps. See the patchy morning fog. It will be nice but be ready for that wind to come so your boat and Capt better be prepared. They also have webcams that show up to the minute conditions. There is also a number to call with buoy readings. I'll try to find it.
ReplyDeleteSingle Owner hook in a live shiner, plus right place, right time. Our Eddie had a very slow week and then finished with a double bang. He put in the time and ground them out.
