October 10 , the Queen of Hearts returned to the harbor with 120 rockfish and 10 lingcod for 12 anglers . On Friday , the 6 anglers aboard the Queen of Hearts landed 60 rockfish and 1 lingcod while fishing off the San Mateo County Coast .

The anticipated lack of overall biomass of crab compared to prior years will make fishing during the first two weeks important . - Dave Hurley
