Variety Is The Word For East
Bay Anglers
East Bay- Fishing for anglers departing
from East Bay ports remains outstanding
for halibut, stripers, lingcod, rockfish and
salmon.
Captain James Smith of California Dawn
Sportfishing has been mixing things up. On
his most recent trip he headed outside the
Golden Gate for lingcod with a crew of lady
anglers and they rounded up 28 limits of
lings.
Other days Smith stays inside the bay to
focus on halibut and stripers. These trips
are producing an average of 2 keeper fish
per rod.
At least once per week Smith has been
targeting salmon and limits have been the
result on most recent trips.
Captains Jonathan and Chris Smith of
Happy Hooker Sportfishing have been
mixing it up with some trips outside the bay
and some trips inside. Their most recent
adventure focused on halibut and they were
able to put 25 halibut to 23 pounds into the
box for their 24 anglers.
On the salmon fishing front, the New
Easy Rider continues to put their anglers on
epic Golden Gate salmon action.
Most days they are getting limits and
on the rare day they just miss limits. On
their last trip, they nailed 36 salmon to 25
pounds and added a pair of halibut.
Captain Quang Vo of Goldeneye 2000
Sportfishing has been splitting his time
between salmon mooching in the ocean
and halibut fishing in the bay. On his last
salmon trip, the boat scored 32 limits of
kings to 30 pounds while mooching.
Quang’s most recent halibut trip
produced 39 halibut to 27 pounds.
Captain Hayden Mullins of Dragon
Sportfishing is still putting anglers on limits
of salmon when the weather beyond the
Golden Gate cooperates. When it’s rough
outside, Hayden has been running some
very exciting bay shark fishing trips for
seven gills and soupfins.
