We had 2 trips out today. CD2 was on a hot salmon bite and New CD was out fishing rockfish along the coast.
 
We finished up the day with 18 salmon to 23 pounds with a lot of missed opportunities as the size of the fish remain challenging.
 
New California Dawn fished along the coast and finished up with 19 limits of rockfish and adding 4 ling cod
 
For the rest of the week we will have trips going for salmon or rockfish
