Finally, fish are biting again.

dsc01768.jpgFirst charter of the year today and we scored a 35 pound flattie and a cooler full of rockfish.  Perfect weather and a great day on the water.  FUJI III is open for business for the 2012 fishing season.

Skunked!

Unless something miraculous happens, fishing is pretty much done for 2011.  Better luck in the spring.

Another one halibut kind of day

Fishing is slowing down for the year I guess.  Fished all day for one halibut, about a 30 pounder.matt10-23-11.jpg

Fished all day in the fog for one halibut

dsc01755.JPGPretty slow fishing out there.  At least the halibut was a nice one.

Surfing trip today

No fish pictures to post today.

Bad fishing today

Tried every trick in the book and got a bunch of dirty bat rays and some sand bass.  Terrible.

Wide open white sea bass today

dsc01753.JPGdsc01750.JPGWe haddsc01749.JPGa short but good pick on sea bass for about an hour and picked up six nice ones plus various bat rays, sharks and a thresher.

One halibut and two barracuda

dsc01717.JPGAnother slow day at sea.  Fished hard with the right bait at the right place but they just weren’t biting.  One nice flattie and a couple of slimers.  Better luck next time.

Another slow day. A big halibut a 4 barracuda

photo-3.JPGphoto-2.JPGWe couldn’t buy a halibut until 3PM but at least it was a big one.  30-35 pound class and 4 slime rockets.

Bad weather, worse fishing

Should have stayed in bed today.  The forecast was wrong and there were huge, short interval swells with whitecaps on top of them.  I could only make 10 knots and was still getting pounded.  On top of all of that, we caught 4 calicos and a stinking barracuda.
