June 1st salmon report

Sunday, June 2nd, 2013

Save

6/1/13 report– Not too many boats out today. The forecast was not for the timid. I told my customers this morning that the best case scenario is that it is going to be rough. I had a group of 10 from Willits, and they have been fishing with me several times and I knew if they said they could handle it that they could. So off we went to at least see what the conditions were like. After getting out there, we decided that it was fishable. We were 4 miles north in 250 ft of water. Not too soon after, we hooked up on one of our bow rods. One thing led to another and we ended up with 8 salmon. Biggest one weighing in at 20.5 lbs. caught by Jeff Kroppmann from Willits. We only lost a couple of salmon which is great considering the conditions.
   Pic; from left to right– Kevin Crook/Willits-17.5 & 16 lb, Jeff Kroppmann/Willits-20.5 lb, Bob Ruddock/Lake County, Steve Ford/Willits, Jacob Hood/Willits, and Jim Barrett/Ukiah. Great job guys!!

I just had a couple of anglers today so we went right out by the buoy and tried for some salmon. The water conditions look the best they have in awhile. Lots of bait showing on the meter and good temperature. We ended up with just 1 nice salmon but we had fun looking for more. My nephew Richard (captain of the Trek 2) had a little bit better luck. I think he ended up with 4 fish. We were fishing right by each other the whole time. Maybe we’ll start to see some fish show up here. Hope so.

End of May rap up report

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

We have mostly fished for rockfish the second half of May. Salmon hasen’t been real productive. We’ll give the salmon a bit more time. In the meantime, the rockfish and lingcod have been very productive. I had a couple of trips where we had to work at catching them, but all you had to do was put a little effort into it and you went home with a nice bag of fish.  Friday and Saturday I went up north and did some crabbing as well. On Friday the fish seemed like they were going off the bite. But not the lings though. Both days we ended up with 1/2 limits of rockfish and over a ling around and 1/2 limits of crabs for 15 anglers. We fished on the Cleone reef 5 miles north in 80 ft of water and scored our crabs a couple of miles north of there in 40 to 90 ft of water. Catch of the week was a 17 pound ling cod landed by Irma Munoz out of Reno-Picture- (happy birthday Irma!)  Runner up was local Dennis Barney with a limit of lings and a limit of rockfish including a 10 lb capazone! The rest of the month was about the same with 3/4 limits of rockfish and 1/2 to limits of lings. Fish-On!
