With the first fish in the box on the Queen of Hearts by a little after 7:30, and a chunky 26 pounder landing with a thud by 10:00 along with another handful of fish, we had a downright decent day and ended up with 11 keepers landed for our 20 anglers. Years past that would have been nothing to brag about, but now that it's sunk in that the salmon are not going to come easy this season, it's a darn good score and we'll take it. We had a fish-per-rod-kinda-action with at least another 7 or 8 fish that were lost for one reason or another, a couple of heartbreaker fish that just barely missed the 24 inch minimum and had to be thrown back, and a couple of hit and misses. There was no really big spot of fish that would satisfy the needs of a bunch of boats, but it was all we needed for some decent action. I've been told that a picture of the 26 pounder will be emailed to me, so I promise it will finally knock the picture of me and my yellowfin off the top of our fishing report webpage as long as it really is sent to me. Still plenty of room for our rockfishing trip tomorrow on Saturday on the Queen of Hearts, as well as our salmon trips on Sunday and Monday. If you'd like to join us tomorrow on Saturday, don't worry about calling if you decide last minute to join us. Just simply come on down to our shop in the morning, Half Moon Bay Sportfishing, and check in between 5:30 when I open the doors to no later than 6:15. Do be sure to give a call for updates about our salmon trips if you're interested in going out on Sunday or Monday.

It didn't take them long at all to get right back in the swing of things. By 7:15 this morning they had already hooked three salmon, but the score was: Queen of Hearts 2, sea lions 1. ...... Read More
