What a day on the water! After a couple of slow days and some bad weather the bite dramatically turned back on again. We landed 24 king salmon to 20 pounds and 1 striped bass. We hooked nearly 50 fish in the process.
New California Dawn was at the islands and fishing up with 18 limits of rockfish and 12 ling cod. The weather outlook is good for this upcoming week.
