A brilliant day out with Captain Justin and first mate Ron targeting lingcod and rock fish at the Farallon Islands.
The weather was fine but it is cold out there. The sun doesnโt shine. And it takes a while to get there. The waves were relatively small the day we went. It wasnโt that windy. One of our group got sick. We had a few tangles (mostly due to my braided line). Apparently braided line floats. We only caught one ling cod. And not one of those things was in the Captainโs control.
What was in the Captainโs control was all great. The boat had all the facilities youโd need and was clean. The first mate, Ron, was amazing. Captain put us on the fish. We caught our limit of rock fish within 90 minutes and therefore had to stop fishing for cod too. (You canโt continue to fish for cod when youโve caught all your rock fish.) But due to our speedy success, we were able to fish for salmon on the way in and bagged three of those too.
Comments from our group:
Captain and Ron were great, super efficient, knew what they were doing, and the salmon pass by was good too.
I thought Ron was awesome. Worked his a** off for us. Had a great time too.
Real dramamine is a must so your trip is not a bust. (Non-drowsy ginger tablets wonโt cut it.)
We felt well taken care of from the moment we stepped on the boat until we stepped off. Canโt wait to go again.
Would definitely recommend this charter. Thank you again to Captain Justin and Ron.
