What's Biting? Where to Go:
Fishing Reports: As of Jan. 23
Rivers and Creeks: Local Steelhead fishing opened Dec. 1st. The rains have finally arrived. However, the water is high, fast and muddy. Wednesday maybe fishable. This weekend conditions should be perfect. Hopefully quality fish have migrated in. We stock all the appropriate spinners, spoons, plugs, pink worms, fresh and cured roe, shrimp, nightcrawlers, salmon eggs and all the rods, reels, waders, vests and terminal tackle for a productive steelhead adventure.
Surf and Piers: Surf perch are available year around. Tides selection is the key to successful perch 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, tiny swimbaits, small kastmasters 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: Local Ocean Chinook Salmon season is closed. Boat based fishing for Rockfish, Lingcod and Cabezon is closed until May 1. Dungeness crab season is open until June 30. Halibut, Striped Bass and White Seabass fishing is open year around. Shore based angling for Rockfish, lingcod and Cabezon is open year around.
Lakes and Reservoirs: Winter bite is slow due to cold temps. We stock all the appropriate spinnerbaits, jigs, chunk trailers, swimbaits, buzzbaits, crankbaits, hooks, sinkers, line, rods and reels to catch a lunker of a lifetime.
