Rockfish Opener is Here

ROCKFISH OPENS MARCH 1st!!!

After a two month closure, Rockfish are back in our sights. It’s time to fill the freezer with these tasty creatures of the deep.

With the kickoff of the rockfish opener, 3/4 Day and Overnight trips are back on schedule. The Freelance will be running daily 3/4 Day trips over to Catalina Island or along the coast. If you have never rockfished and want to get the full experience without having to spend the night on a boat, this is the trips for you.  If large rockfish is what you really want, the Thunderbird will be running overnight trips fishing Wednesday through Sunday throughout March. If your freezer is looking a little empty after last season, a trip on the Thunderbird is definitely the best way to get that taken care of. The quality of fish at the outer islands can be remarkable.

Make sure to call in to get your reservations. Some trips are filling fast.

We look forward to seeing you on the water.

This year Rockfish opens with a few new regulations. Make sure to keep up on the most current 2013-2014 CDFW regulations by clicking here ¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸><(((º>.
