Russo's is a great marina with friendly staff and good parking. Easy access to close fishing from the dock and easy to get to and from the freeway. June the weather gets very hot so dress appropriately.

Well, we had 30+ mph winds and the high was only 70 degrees, but that was an anomaly. Original forecast was for 10-15 mph winds and a high in the low 90's, which (for me) is amazing fishing weather. Cover up, slather on some sunscreen, stay hydrated and have a blast out there!

They did say that you might catch more fish when the bay is a bit warmer but we were still very happy with everything we caught and would still come in June! Make sure to bundle up the mornings are chilly on the water but we were prepared and it didn’t bother our kids!

You need to book a trip with smaller tide movement. We booked on a 7ft tidal change that reduced the chances of catching fish but Captain Ken has been on the water for over 40 years and put us on the halibut.

Go early morning for your best chance of catching a fish and expect to work to get them on the boat. The fish are deep and it's not easy to get them to the surface.

Definitely take Dramamine (per dosage directions) the night before and another one an hour before you get on the boat. Even if you think there is no way I’m going to get motion sickness.
