DUNGENESS CRAB:  The recreational Dungeness crab season is now open, giving folks the opportunity to take up to 10 crabs home per person per day!  We're currently running crab-only trips from our shop.  All you need for these trips is a fishing license for anyone 16 and older and a burlap bag to take your crab off the boat...and both are available for purchase at the shop in the morning.  Good idea to also have an ice chest waiting in your car to put the crab in to take home.   Join a trip by tapping "Book Online" or give us a call.  Our shop also has loads of crab gear for those who want to fish off the shore, jetty or piers.

ROCKFISH:  Rockfishing off the coastline continues be restricted to catching slope and shelf rockfish outside of the 50 fathom boundary (deeper than 300 feet), as it was earlier this season.  This applies to all areas from the Oregon border to just above Santa Barbara through the end of 2023 in an attempt to protect one species of rockfish...the quillback.  Thankfully the deeper water does crank out some extremely huge rockfish as we saw earlier this year...it just takes a little more muscle and a little heavier sinkers and gear.
