April 27, 2013 - Final Winter Trip


Well it's very hectic at this point. I wrapped up the sturgeon season with a bang, and the last 2 trips had some good action! One day I had a full load of 6 fishermen the 2nd day we had a light load with 3 fishermen. All in all it was great action. We had landed 14 Sturgeon in 2 days. We also had some bass. There were also many good bites missed. Most of the Sturgeon were Shakers; 2 were real close with an inch of the mark. One was a beautiful keeper at 59 inches and 65 pounds.  I had another gentleman fight of fish for 20 min…we saw the fish jump twice and then the heartbreak came as the hook pulled.  It was either another large keeper or oversize. 

Now it's time to get set up for the summer season. We've been working every day on the boat sanding painting cleaning fixing getting her all prepared for the next season. She will look like new again. My next charter is Friday, May 3 Saturday, May 4 is full and Sunday May 5 has room.  I hear rumors we will have live date by then. I will be targeting salmon, halibut, striped bass and sharks. If you are interested in a trip please contact me now, as this year is filling up even faster than last year!  All the weekend days and many weekdays are already booked in June and I am starting to fill up the weekend days in July and August. 

Enjoy the photographs while I get some sleep. I will get back to work on the boat ASAP. If everything goes well I will be moving the boat over on Wednesday May 1st. Zach and I will do a sea trial fishing trip on Thursday and then the 1st summer season trip will commence on Friday.
