“Our latest trip produced limits

46 lingcod, 72 rockfish and 138
vermilion rockfish while using a
variety of shrimp flies, jigs, bars
and baits.

limits of rockfish, 21 lingcod and
one cabezon for 25 anglers,” she
said. “It was windy and the swell
was up.”
J.J, skipper of the Chubasco

rockfish,” said J.J. “The swell
was up and they fished whole
dead squid again, this time south
of Point Joe. We also ran an
afternoon trip that produced limits
of rockfish and lingcod for 13
anglers. The fish started really
biting right before dark.”

“It’s better for surfing and
not too great for fishing,” she

“If you’re looking for perch
