Salmon Limits!

The weather was BREEZZZZZZY but the fishing was good on Saturday 7-13. Sixpack captains all reported a plus fish per rod and many fish lost along the way. Jeff on the Samantha Irene had 6 salmon to 17 pounds for four anglers. Merlin on the Reel Magic reported six salmon landed for five anglers to 18 pounds with a couple of "pigs" lost at the boat. The best action was in 200 feet on the .10 line or off Bird Rock. Find the bait and the fish may find you!  Better weather will return soon. The peak season is here! Get on board!

 The good weather and good fishing continues. On Wednesday 7-10 the Reel Magic had 6 EARLY limits of quality fish. Merlin picked up four above the Point then ran about ten miles south to finish up. Rick on the New Sea Angler had banner action as well. Rick had two kid groups a local boy scout group and a kids groups out of Redding. The 29 kids landed 41 salmon to 21 pounds plus limits of rockfish and three lings. Great job by the kids! Rick was trolling south of the Point and likely rockfished at the Point as well.
Just a heads up.... this writer will be headed back to Alaska July 14th to the 27th. For regular Bodega bay based reports please go to Reel Magic Sportfishing Charters on Facebook, and like our page. Merlin posts up a complete report each night. 

The seas flattened out and the fishing was great for the few and tough on most on Tuesday 7-9. The Reel Magic ran south of Pt Reyes and reported quick limits of salmon to 20 plus pounds. Merlin also reported that Bob on the Relentless found the fish south of the Point and Jeff on the Samantha Irene also joined in and also had early limits. Locally the rockfish are biting well but private boaters only scratched a few odd fish today. When I drove by Westside at 1:PM there was a good 40 to 50 trailers in the parking lot.


Owner / operator captain Merlin Kolb is bringing his 34 foot twin diesel catamaran the "Reel Magic" to Bodega bay this month. He will be offering salmon / rockfish and crabbing trips through the spring and summer months. Merlin is a well known local captain who is excited to finally be running his own operation. 707 875-BOAT (2628) or 707 479-0992.

Nearly all the salmon caught along the coast this year are there thanks to the Golden Gate Salmon Association. If not for their efforts to push both state and federal hatchery managers to truck fish over the past three years of drought we would have likely NOT had a season this year or next. I encourage readers to support this great organization and their efforts to return our salmon fishery to it's past glory. You can visit their website and see all that they are doing to make that a reality.

Marine Weather
 With the Point Arena, San Francisco and Bodega Bay buoys all out of service it's been tough to judge conditions. There are some land based weather stations, wave rider and even webcams that readers can use to assess current conditions.  The Point Reyes wind observations or wave conditions at the San Francisco wave rider buoy are good tools for Golden Gate anglers.  For Bodega Bay anglers you can use both the Point Reyes wind observations and the Bodega Bay Marine lab web cam at Horseshoe Cove and conditions at the Point Arena light house. For Monterey based anglers looking for conditions inside Monterey bay can use the Monterey Bay Aquarium buoy.
