Shark and Ray Action After Halibut Troll

Date: August 26, 2026 Trip Type: Full-Day fishing Combo Conditions & Overview We headed up the coast early to hunt for rockfish and lingcod. The morning bite started off a bit slower than hoped, but persistence paid off as we worked structure to build a solid box. Once the coastal bite wrapped up, we made the run back down toward the bay to spend the afternoon drifting live bait. Catch Breakdown Rockfish: 5 f limits across the board after grinding through the morning drift. Lingcod: Boxed 5 beautiful, heavy-grade lings to add some serious muscle to the cooler. California Halibut: Finished the day strong in the bay, landing 7 beautiful flaties on live bait to cap off the trip. Deck Highlights & Wild Encounters Despite the sluggish start up north, the crew stayed on it and finished with an incredible overall spread. The highlight of the day was an absolute jaw-dropper: a massive Great White shark chased one of our hooked fish all the way up to the surface and slammed right into the swim step of the boat right in front of everyone on deck! Heavy fish, wild encounters, and plenty of fresh fillets heading home. Booking & Availability

We had an awesome half-day trip running up the coast to celebrate a 26th birthday! The weather was beautiful, and the crew brought great energy. The fish were biting—the group landed full limits of rockfish plus 2 bonus lingcod to top off the trip! Huge thanks to this fun group for fishing with us.

Morning Salmon & A Bonus Bonita What a way to cap off the last salmon run of August! We headed out with a phenomenal crew today, and the morning bite did not disappoint. The fish were aggressive right out of the gate, and we were able to stack them in the cooler fast. Once the early bite died down, it became a true mid-day grind, but the group stuck with it, kept the energy high, and filled the day with plenty of laughs. We ended up just one fish shy of full boat limits of salmon, plus a gorgeous, hard-fighting bonito to round out the catch. September Booking Update With August salmon behind us, the fishery temporarily closes and will re-open on September 1st. We are now officially taking bookings for September trips! Dates will fill up fast for the fall bite, so reach out today to lock in your spot on the boat.
