“The rockfish bite at Cape Mendocino has been absolutely amazing,” said Skipper Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “Even with the three black rockfish limit, we’re still finding enough variety to get everyone their 10 fish. The lings are really biting too; the extra depth has really been nice. We’ve been able to stay on some of the structure where in years past we’ve only been able to fish part of it. The Pacific halibut — when the current was good — bit really well this week. On Saturday we had limits for the whole crew by 9:30 a.m. We went back out on Monday and the current was ripping and we didn’t land a fish. That’s the way it’s been all year.” said Klassen.
