30 SALTWATER Sept 27 - Oct 11, 2019 VOL.38 • ISS. 21 SALTWATER REPORTS: CONTINUED FROM PG 29 HALF MOON BAY cont. 24th and November 30th. There are still a number of weekdays for individuals or charter opportunities as the rockfish/Dungeness crab season starts on November,” he stated. Sherri Ingles of Half Moon Bay Sportfishing reported that they are concentrating on rockfish trips. Fourteen anglers aboard the Riptide landed 140 rockfish, 6 cabezon and 6 lingcod on their latest trip. They also released 25 rockfish, 4 lingcod and 5 cabezon. The last full day trip on the Queen of Hearts produced 1 lingcod and 160 rockfish for 16 anglers. They also released 6 lingcod. Captain Dennis Baxter of the New Captain Pete has been running bird trips towards Pioneer Canyon, and he said, “Smitty on the Riptide had three salmon hookups at our entrance buoys this week, but they didn’t land a fish. Three private boats were out on Thursday morning trying for salmon locally with no return. There are a few bonito moving through, and the commercial halibut fishermen are catching halibut in the bay, but you really have to have the local knowledge for the line up on this fishery. We saw 62-degree water 30 miles offshore, and there were the right birds for tuna, but there were no other indications of albacore in the area.” Baxter added, “On our salmon trips, we have been running north to the Marin coast as it is much less than a trickle, more like a few drops, of salmon out in front of our harbor. We are waiting for these fish to come up from Monterey Bay.” - Dave Hurley MONTEREY BAY Anglers Battle Rockfish and Lingcod Off Monterey County Coast Big smiles and big kings…That’s been the scene for anglers fishing Golden Gate waters aboard the New Easy Rider in recent days.
