Amazing day with Captain Jake
we had a fantastic Saturday morning trip with Captain jake. He put us on lots of rockfish and we were able to catch our first rockfish. I highly recommend Captain jake and can’t wait to go on future trips.

Rockfish ahead of the weather
Had a great day with Capt Jacob. We got on the water early, spent most of the morning throwing top waters to slot and over-slot rockfish. Landed several before heading back to the dock before the weather broke on us. A little rain, a little wind, lots of good times!
