The Spanish mackerel bite is picking up everyday with the Atlantic bonita starting to show up! The Atlantic bonita bite should only get better in the next few weeks. These fish are very tasty…

Weather's been fair and when we can get out the sea bass fishing has been outstanding. Limit out in an hour. All bigger than average fish.

Fishing has been great when you can get out. Have been out twice this month and filled the boat cooler with plenty of huge seabass, porgy and trigger fish.

Still on the grind for white sturgeon on the Sacramento River! With high river flows more sturgeon are showing up every day! I suspect February and March are going to be 'Off the hook!

Fly fishing has been awesome with the weather we have been gifted. Sight casting schools is always a classic for my charters. Shark fishing has been a blast on light tackle, sight fishing them also! Lady fish, and Spanish on fly rod also! Albies are also starting to show up!

    Great experience! I'm fairly certain the man speaks fish. They were cold from the recent storm, but Mike knew just where to put us and the moment the sun came up we were on 'em. Cannot speak highly enough of Mike
