    Rockfish ahead of the weather

    5 Hour Trip – Spring/Summer on September 27, 2024 • 3 adults

    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!
