ROCKFISH:   All depth rockfishing now allowed off our coastline!
The state and federal fishery management groups have both approved changes to the rockfishing off our coastline effective September 18, 2025 to no depth restrictions through the end of the year!  That means fishing the Deep Reef is in play as well as fishing as deep or as shallow as we'd like.   DFW should be updating their regulations online within a few days to reflect the changes.

SALMON:  It's official:  salmon fishing is closed for the rest of the year as the 7,500 fall harvest guideline has been met.
News about a salmon season in 2026 will be discussed in fishery management meetings beginning in February 2026.

AROUND THE HARBOR:  Perch along the coastline, and squid and anchovies are showing up outside the harbor.  Folks continue to enjoy catching rock crab off the fishing pier inside the harbor as well as on the jetty.  Recreational dungeness crab season is closed until the first Saturday in November but the rock crab season is open all year using either hoop nets or snares.  If you're interested in monkeyface eel, there's loads of them available hidden in the jetty rocks for poke-pole anglers.  Striper fishing along the beaches has slowed down but there are still a few being landed here and there.  Halibut have moved in with some good size fish in the mix.

QUEEN OF HEARTS TRIPS:  The Queen of Hearts is rockfishing up and down our coastline in unrestricted depths through September and October.   We are now taking reservations for Dungeness crab and rockfishing trips beginning on November 1 through the end of the year.

SHOP SCHEDULE:  We are open Wednesdays through Sundays from at least 8am to 4pm.  We will open at 6am if the Queen of Hearts is going out or if the weather looks good on a Saturday or Sunday.  Monday and Tuesdays will be closed unless the QH is going out; on those days we'll be open from 6am to 7am ONLY or 9am to 10am ONLY.
