We’ve had great shallow water rockfishing on the coast this year. Better overall grade than last year. Today we landed limits of big reds, browns, blues, yellowtail and canary rockfish. Lingcod fishing was great today, we landed 33 lingcod for 21 anglers with a lot of them over 10 pounds. We also caught a halibut today while we were rockfishing.  Halibut has been slow lately so most of our trips on the weekends are geared towards rockfish and lingcod. The bite has been great! We’ve got shark trips during the week this month and we are still targeting halibut on smaller tides.  Give us a call at (510)993-4414 or book at www.happyhookersportfishing.com   We’ve got lots of room this coming weekend.
