Fresh West Mooring Basin Port Office Fishing Reports

It's prime time for lingcod close to shore. Two days in a row we limited the boat on them with several keepers turned loose while jigging for bonus rockfish. The size has generally been in the 24 to 26 inch range, however each day we've seen at least one in the mid thirties. My buddy Jamie pulled in his personal best lingcod at 35 inches while I caught a 32 incher the day before. We also hooked and released the occasional Cabezon since you can't keep those guys until July 1st. While the weather may make getting across the bar a little dicey over the next couple of days, you can bet I'll be itching to get back out there the next chance I get.

Spring Chinook are biting! They're coming up in one and twos with no big pods, but the action has been consistent on plugs as well as trolling. The quality has been pretty good with some nice juicy fish. The one in the picture became dinner for the family and it was soooooo good!

Our group was great ! We let a few go but did have some luck with Chinook & Coho.

GDF ! Only had one customer today but the fishing was so good we had to go get more bait ! We released quite a few high finers but ended up with a couple of limits to end the day !

We caught two nice Chinook and a few Coho as well. Everyone got to land a fish or two. With fair weather and good tides the fishing is projected to be good thru the end of the month. Buiy 10 fishing is always memorable for all.

Chad landed this nice hatchery Chinook today ! The fish hit a spinner and took a 75 yard run up the river ! Great fight and Chad won
