Trip Summary

10/4/26 Sunday Today we had a full day in the bay. We started our day picking at the bass, never finding the mother lode. Hit a few spots that normally produce this time of year were very disappointing. The tide switched and a herd found us and we got what we needed in short order. We trolled for salmon in the usual areas and dropped a ball with a drive bye and had a few crushed baits but nothing to show for it. Interest started to wane and a short day was called to watch the games. Josh, Thanks for trying the Nautilus! Captain Ron & Mike

9/12/26 Saturday Today we had our annual charter with a group of friends for a day of Salmon fishing. The group was normally an air show/ fishing combo, I got them to try salmon fishing as it was open this year. Our first attempt was called off due to bad weather. Today was dicey but the weather was better than forecast. Our day started with a bang and got better for the next couple of hours with the last fish taking a couple of hours. We got what we needed and the wind up call was made. The crew got a fish on the wind in and Mike gets a salmon dinner! Greg, Thanks for the charter! Hope you enjoyed the fishing. Captain Ron & Mike
