The salmon fishing is beginning to break loose on all seaports along the coast of California. With the rough weather conditions behind us salmon are being caught in good numbers in Monterey Bay off the Deep Hole on the South Side of Soquel Hole. Most of the fish are being caught mooching with anchovies. The average fish is weighing between 8 to 12 pounds. Two fish limits have been the rule. With calmer winds the salmon action will break out in Bodega Bay and Half Moon Bay. On Bodega Bay the salmon fishing will take off in epic actin. The annual Bodega Bay Fishermen’s Festival and BBQ will take place on the first weekend in May. In Half Moon bay the salmon action was solid with the Salty Lady posting 13 limits to 13 pounds off the Deep Reef. The Huli Cat went over to the Deep Reef where they posted 18 ten- fish limits of rockfish and 20 ling cod for 20 anglers along with 18 limits of Dungeness crab as a bonus. All of the valley lakes and reservoirs are producing good numbers of trout and largemouth bass on the troll or casting that favorite lure of yours. Now is time to head out to your favorite location and spend the day in the great outdoors. Until next tide stay safe to fish another day.
