WEATHER:  The ocean weather forecast is calling for some fantastic conditions this coming week.  Take advantage of it while the getting is good and jump onboard!

ROCKFISH:  The 2024 rockfishing season is now open through the end of the year.  Rockfishing along the entire Northern California coastline is open inside the 20 fathom boundary (from shore to 120 feet) for five months during May, June, July, August, September and November  The deep water fishery (outside the 50 fathom boundry) is open April, October and December.  Pending any emergency actions, the seasons will be the same in 2025 and 2026.

STRIPED BASS:  It's time!  Stripers are hitting along the coastline beaches!  White head/body hairraisers are the top lure of choice, followed closely by SP Minnows, paddle-tail grubs with hoochies and the rest of the assorted striper lures.

DUNGENESS CRAB:  The commercial crab season is now closed.  If you have your own boat or crab along the coast or piers, recreational anglers can continue to harvest dungeness crab through the end of June in our area, but anglers are restricted to using hoop nets or snares (crab pots are not permitted).  Rock crab is open year-round.

SALMON:  It is now official...no salmon fishing anywhere in California for 2024.  As long as all goes as planned, salmon fishing will open next year on Saturday, April 5, 2025 with a 24" minimum two fish limit off our coastline.
