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!

Wilmington has been offering a good topwater speckled trout bite early in the morning. Plenty of flounder as September starts our keeper season. Plenty of grey trout and redfish as well. In Oriental, the bull reds are starting to fire up. Morning trips with popping corks and evening bottom fishing with bait have been producing some big bull redfish.

The last couple weeks the wind has kept some from getting out and fishing but when the weather has cooperated fishing had been producing some nice fish. Trolling for Pelagic's has been spotty and when you do find them numbers have been down compared to previous seasons. Bottom fishing when you find your spot has been extremely good producing keeper gag grouper and for some reason lots of cobia. Almost every bottom trip produces keeper size cobia.

Bottom fishing when you find your spot has been extremely good producing keeper gag grouper and for some reason lots of cobia. Almost every bottom trip produces keeper size cobia. Many of us agree that our cooler than usual spring that went straight to intense summer heat may have derailed some of the usual migration of certain species. That being said last few days those missing fishing are starting to show.

    Jason was awesome! He got my daughters lines all hooked up and helped them every time they caught one. He did their bait and beings they didn’t wanna actually touch the fish he released the fish for them too. About half way through the girls needed a break so Jason n I hung out n fished and bs’d a bit. Definitely gonna be going back for another trip!!!

    Great trip with Spencer. First time for the family and the kids (15 and 12) had a great time. By the end of the trip they were setting lines and taking fish off the hooks. Spencer was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience. Would definitely book again with him when we come back to the area.
