What's Biting? Where to Go:
Ocean King salmon fishing is open. May 1-Sept.6 Thursday-Monday only (closed Tues. & Weds.) 2 fish limit. Minimum size 24 inches.
Fishing Reports:
Rivers and Creeks: Upper and lower level elevation Sierra rivers, creeks and streams are flowing high and hot. Trout bite is ok but look for better conditions when the water drops to better flow rates and levels.
Surf and Piers: Perch, halibut and striped bass fishing is in full swing. Tides selection is the key to successful perch and bass catches. Look for tides with 4 plus feet of water moving in between lows and highs. Incoming tides are the best however slack into the outgoing tide can be productive if you are in the right rip, trough or hole. Berkley Gulp sand worms, shrimp, ghost shrimp, sand crabs and Kalin's perch grubs are very productive. If you like natural bait we sell grass shrimp, anchovies, squid, cured sand shrimp and prawns.
Bay: Ocean King Salmon runs April 3rd.-Sept.6 Rockfish season runs May 1st.-Nov.15 However you may take rockfish as a shore based angler year round. Halibut, lingcod, cabezon, striped bass and a variety of rockfish are now being caught. Dungeness crab season is open until June 30. We carry all the lures, rigs, hooks, flashers, dodgers, sinkers, jigs, traps and bait for the above mentioned fish along with expert friendly advice.
Lakes and Reservoirs: Loch Lomond Reservoir is now open and the bass are biting. Lexington Reservoir, Pinto Lake and other Valley impoundments are full and the Summer bite is on. E-chip spinnerbaits, jigs with chunk trailers, a variety of plastic worms, crankbaits and some top water have been working the best.
