Had about a 45 minute wide open Calico and Barracuda bite today- wide open. We got live bait today. Since the tsunami last week that busted the bait barge they have not had live bait 2 different days so we use the same other stuff we always use anyways-when that happens- commercial grade chum buckets, frozen squid, makeral we catch, lures and jigs -they all work great. If you are reading reports to go out in the next few days the bait barge may not have live bait. We do not know what you are going to catch because fish schools migrate, water temps and currents change and fishing turns on and off like a light switch. I can tell you that we are in peak season and fishing has been great for the most part. We have some bad days where fish will not cooperate and no matter what you do to try and catch fish they just will not bite. If you can't go into a fishing charter with the attitude that you have lived long enough to know that a bad day fishing can't get in the way of a great day then RockenReel is not for you. We can not guarantee fish. We can guarantee safe vessels with knowledgeable Captains that will not ever try to take advantage of you on purpose. If the fish are biting we got you covered! If they are not, we do the very best we can with what we have to work with. Today all charters were stoked weather they caught fish or not and we thank everyone for being good sports and wish you the best fishing luck ever.

Bass and Barracuda bite - back on again. First cast today landed a 22 inch White Sea Bass and steady Calico Bass bite. Whale watching cattle boat spotted a big Mako yesterday. We were not targeting Mako- was scouting for the Tuna that started squirting into our battlegrounds out front at the 267 bank. Fish on! Dorado have not showed in numbers. Yellowtail-"Amberjack" are also out there if you can find the right kelp patti holding fish.
