Quality rockfish are chomping

Half Moon Bay Sportfishing Staff

The quality bottomfish are biting again onboard the Queen of Hearts out of Half Moon Bay, resulting in another day of limits for all onboard with a solid 90% of the catch made up of cream of the crop bolinas and vermillion rockfish. Don't know where Bob's been fishing or how deep; I know he prefers to fish shallow but he fishes where conditions permit, where the fish are biting and where he feels our clientele on a given day can handle bouncing the bottom. So, as we always suggest, if you have your own gear, bring both outfits for fishing the shallows and as well as for a little deeper water, with anywhere from 2 ounces to 10 ounces of weight and rods and reels from as light as 10 to 12 pound test bass rods up to light action saltwater gear with around 20 pound test. We are rockfishing again tomorrow on Wednesday and there's still plenty of room; if you'd like to join us, don't worry about calling or sending an email...just come on down in the morning and check in at our shop between 6:00 a.m. when I open the doors to no later than 6:15 a.m.

The Fishing Fools gang, a small group of retired gentlemen who have chartered the QH pretty much every other Monday for several years during past salmon seasons, were finally able to climb back in the saddle and ride again. It didn't take them long at all to get right back in the swing of things. By 7:15 this morning they had already hooked three salmon, but the score was: Queen of Hearts 2, sea lions 1. ...... Read More
