Today was the first of many fun trips scheduled this summer with the San Mateo Police Activity League. It's a great organization that, among other things, keeps kids from the San Mateo area involved and introduces them to different activities during the summer while school is out. Our crew always looks forward to these trips because they love getting kids hooked on fishing and the kids are happy just to simply catch a fish without the pressure of having to land limits every time out. As always, the kids had a ball catching loads of rockfish, and they landed several of the big whoppers we've been seeing recently, too. Heard they had some fun tasting some of Capt. Bob's hot sauce collection on the way back in at the end of the day. Hope they had a lot of bottles of water! By the way, the best lure recently, believe it or not, has been the simple, normal, good-ole-standby shrimp fly jig (well, super fly to be exact) with either a strip or a whole squid.

And now, a couple of announcements: (1) This Sunday, July 1 we are rockfishing. There is still a few spaces available if you'd like to join us. Be sure to give us a call, NOT email, if you'd like to nab a spot or two. (2) Now that the weather seems like it's starting to calm down, we have added our popular afternoon rockfishing trips on Saturdays beginning on July 7. The trips will depart around 3:30 p.m. and return around dusk. Cost is $55 per person. (3) We have designated three Wednesdays in July as "Limited Load Rockfishing Trips" on July 11, 18 and 25. The trips will be limited to no more than 25 people and the cost will be $65 per person. More limited load trips trips may be scheduled in August depending on demand.
