Hey, what do you guys think of the new SST?
Nice work on the big flattie Harrel. Were you bounce-balling?
Sounds like a nice day on the water Tim...wish I could have gotten out!
Will be out Friday chasing salmon in MB. Hopefully the weather holds a few more days!
lat,
steve

Just finished a gaggle of Fish Tacos and one cold El Pacifico!

What a phenomenol weather day for us Central Coast boaters! It's a damned shame the Albacore didn't want to share it with us this week. We made nearly 30 knots to our rock fish numbers off Pecho this morning. Sure would have made for a quick run outside if we new they were home!

Rockfish bite was slow for the 3 of us onboard but we stayed out till nearly 2:30. The wife made her second run onboard today and caught her first fish in the ocean....one of the biggest Starry Rockfish I have seen. She spanked us by catching her limit l o n g before the rest of us. We came in about 3 or 4 fish shy of 3 limits with a mixed bag of Reds, Starry, Blues, Gophers, and 1 - 26" Ling.

Deke was out chasing bait when we put in so our Halibut goal was hampered without the Dino's I was hoping for. We'll get 'em next time.

Heard the radio chatter from you guys both north of us and south. Good going on the attempted trifecta, Harrell!

See ya'll after we get back from slaying chickens on our 3 day run!

Couldn't pass the great weather and fished out of Morro Bay. Calmer than even Lopez Lake. Got one 9 pound salmon anD one other knock down. Came on a green crock in 140 feet of water down 45 feet on the wire. Seems like most of the fish caught today were real close to the old radar buoy. F & G checked boats but they were real nice and friendly and had a nice chat with them. Seemed like most fish came between 9-11:30.

Cory:
I have only caught threshers in two areas; the Santa Barbara coast in the Goleta to Gaviota area and the Oceano to Mussel rock area in 40 to 100 ft of water. Except for incidentals on salmon or halibut gear all the ones we have caught have been on rappalas, trolled about 25ft deep at 4 mph. According to Fred Archer, the expert, skirted mackerel are better.
Monte:
A few years back we used to get a lot of threshers both in the Morro and Avila areas. It seemed like it was a nursery for the pups. We have caught as many as 7 in one day in the same area as the one we hooked today.The biggest was 160lbs. The one we hooked today was on halibut gear so we had no chance to land it. Put out a rappala but no mas. Now it seems that the higher concentration is along the Santa Barbara coast. I'll keep you in mind when we target them.

Harrell, A big Thresher is number one on my fish list.... don't hear of too many people looking for em' out here. let me know if you need a helper some time for that. I got some solid gear for threshers/ makos but no boat to drag it with! ( our Papa Juan capsized in Avila in December)

We fished out of Morro Bay today for 1 salmon, it came 50 ft. on the wire in 140 ft. of water out from Cayucos. Green Hoochie devil with a small crome dodger was what it came on. What a beautiful day on the water. Good job Harrell on that nice halibut.

Went looking for Halibut, WSB and threshers between the coke plant and the SM river today. Caught a 26.5 lb halibut, hooked and lost a thresher on light gear and no seabass. Two out of three is not bad. Richard on the REEL Deal caught an 11 lb salmon in the same area. Weather was perfect and the water had about 10 ft visibility but not much bait.

Had a wonderful afternoon on the water off Morro Bay. It was a perfect day to play hooky. Woody and I left the harbor at 3:30 and headed out ot the radar bouy area. I picked up a small but beautiful salmon in 100 feet of water, 40 feet down on the wire with a watermelon spoon behind a chrome dodger. That 21" beauty fought like a 10 pounder. We did not see any large amounts of bait inside so we went out to 150 feet and lowered the gear to 80 and 100 feet. We immediately got a double and I netted my own fish first, then Woody's which was bigger. He was using a chrome/green Apex and I had the same watermelon spoon. The fish were in the 8 to 11 pound range.I had one more very agressive take down on the spoon a little later, but it did not stick. We were so grateful to get these fish. We thought the season was over.

Fished this afternoon, one in the box 230 feet of water 180 feet down on a Scalelite. 10 pounds, had one short bite in 170 feet.
Will, caught three, around the old radar bouy, had one dropped down 80 and 100 feet for the double.
Our fish had Anchovies, falling out of it's gills.
The short bite side, green Crock, watermelon Apex, down 60 feet.

The bait has moved out to the 200 = 300 line birds whales, seals.
Going to run bait on next time out. Sunday, was the first trip this season bait did not do the deed.
Some of the bait balls looked like Squid, on the meter. Maybe why the white worked. Ran a red flasher, purple haze for nada. Plus a bunch of other colors and spoons.

Best regards,
Joseph Anderton

The color of salmon meat is determined by what they are feeding on. If they are eating a lot of krill or shrimp, then their meat will be pink to deep dark red (sockeye salmon, which have the reddest meat of all are actually filter feeders!). If they eat more finbait then they get lighter pink. I've caught a few in Oregon and around here that were white! Tastes great, just been eating mostly finbait.
How deep were you trolling your rigs?
thanks,
steve

We made the run to the Cape San Martin Buoy for nothing. Did a 12 mi radius around the buoy and worked up to 65 mi and 35 mi off the beach. Water was 58.5 at the buoy and clear with some birds. The warnm plume came to within 5 mi of the Cape. After 5 hrs of trolling we went rock fishing off the Cape for some wide open action on the reds. No sign of bait or albacore.

Jim G, it looks like Sea Adventure 80 (Chuck Taft) is booked. We're running on a 3 day with Top Gun 80 (Bob Taft) this Friday, both are out of H&M Landing. I think Top Gun has some room for the 2.5 day that will depart at 9 p.m. on Monday. We'll be in at 6 p.m. Monday so they'll make the quick turn around.

Top Gun came in this morning from a 3.5 day with 150 Chickens for 24 anglers. Sea Adventure landed the other day with 241 for 32 onboard. The 3 day trip before that on TopGun landed 300 Chickens for 20 onboard. TopGun runs a smaller load at 25 max for an 80 footer. Both the Tafts know how to kill feesh!

Fished Salmon, Sunday.
Had the first one 110 feet of water just inside the old radar bouy, Watermelon Apex. 40 to 60 feet down. One boat around the same time had a double and then another one. Jeff, on the Good Karma, caught a 31 pounder on the scale at Virges.
BJ. on the Farllon, at 5:00 PM. boated the hog of the year. His scale said 41 pounds. Great job to both boats.
Finished the day with three for five. Farmed one at the net.
The bait in the late afternnon balled up from Cayucos, below the 10 E bouy anywhere from 100 feet out to 160 feet. The line of birds was 2 miles long top to bottm.
Green crock seemed to catch the most for the other boats. They all fished shallow.
Most reports were 40 feet down.
Will be fishing Tuesday, afternoon, leaving the dock around 2:00 PM.

Best regards,
Joseph Anderton

Thanks to Joe on BBQ for putting me on the fish last Sunday.Joe called me in from "deadsville" straight off the Rock, to the salmon bite right in front of my house off Cayucos.I trolled up a #31 pounder on a watermelon crocodile fished at 40ft in 100ft of water (Joe also tipped me to the lure color and depth).I have caught hundreds of king salmon over the years,but this was the meanest,toughest,and "fattest" spring chinook that ever made it to my dinner table.It hit like an albacore on the troll,and took a full 25 minutes to get in the net.The fish dogged me for 15 minutes before I ever got a look at it...I'm going to check out the bite tomorrow afternoon....jeff

cloud cover makes it tuff, but I would have to agree with the idea of Cape San Martin Bouy.If you go back a few days the same warm water was below the Cape san Martin Bouy and out about 40 miles.The latest terrafin shows that same water now on the beach at san simeon.We fihed San Diego for Three Tuna and the same thing happen, the fish are being caught 20 mile off shore.For those who remeber a few years ago when the early Tuna bight in Morro Bay was in the same area as the cape San Martin Bouy.I can not go this week, but i would recomende heading towards the Bouy and work the tempertaure break.This same current runs to the elbow and that is where I found fish every year, This is where we found the big shool lawst year. Hopefully some guys get out and try the area,Wish i could go, but had a death in the family.Good luck and post your sucess.

Well the plan was to launch from Morro and run to PSL for the night and fish tuna tomorrow, but the clutch for the compressor on my KAD42 had other ideas. We launched from Morro at 0930 hrs and fished for salmon in front of the rock for about 2 hrs for no love. Off to fish rockfish and head towards PSL. Caught limits of rockfish but as the day wore on the clutch on the compressor started to make some awful racket. Decided to run back to Morro and put the boat back on the trailer as I am not comfortable heading offshore with the compressor making so much noise. Will have to wait until after vacation and boat repairs to chase the tuna. Sorry to hear that the guys who ran today didn't score. Thanks for the reports and effort.

NADA NADA NADA, Worked from 35.20/121.30 out to 35.15/122 for a long boat ride with no takers. Gotta love the economy of the little diesel with 12.5 hours of run time, four of them wide open and the rest trolling and only 37 gallons burned. Computer said 3 miles per gallon. Sure beats the old two stroke OB that was getting 3 gallons per mile. I Guess pops and I are gonna half to work the albies extra hard next week on the Sea Adventure 80 for three days. sure hope the stick around down there, Killer B's out

ran out to 3510 12140 and started trolling - water was 58.8 - went to 05 and 57 with no signs and water came up to 59.5 - fairly clean. trolled up to 3520 122 then turned and came back in to 3518 12139 and pulled the plug. Talked to 4 other boats that saw nothing, one was as low as 3500 and one as high as 3525. Taurus kept going, headed to the 1908 area, we should get a report in a day or two. Bob Hather might try up above cape san martin bouy tomorrow. Good luck to anyone going out. Weather was fair on the outside, better inside 25 to the beach - Jim

Harrell,

That is not the report I wanted to hear! Damit, get it right! WFO 20 miles offshore, flat calm, hitting bare hooks.
