Salmon season doesn’t open up until Tuesday so we’ve been fishing lots of shallow water lingcod and rockfish. Our group landed 30 lingcod and 270 rockfish and 1 halibut on a shrimp fly rig. The lingcod bite has been consistent, a fish per rod to limits every trip and we’ve been catching limits of rockfish every trip. Even with salmon opening on Tuesday we will still offer coastal lingcod trips for a few weeks on certain days. Visit our schedule at www.happyhookersportfishing.com or call (510)993-4414
