Got 6 fish and had 4 knockdowns by 9:30am. All but 1 on boards 38 to 45 ft of water. Some bait flipping on top this morning. I can't do pic's today.

Ran two half day trips today. Morning was slower than afternoon for us but we managed our fish. Afternoon popped two fish over 40" on lighter solo parachutes.

Best part was both parties had youth fishermen get personal bests!

Nice job Greg!

Shawn's friends showed up late so we didn't have lines in until about 7:30. No sooner than we had the green side out than one came in the boat. Then we drove around for nearly two hours without a touch. Finally got them all but it was a slow grind. Put the last one on ice at about 2:00. Fished about a mile or two south of 83. No real rhyme or reason...about a third were on white set shallow, third off green set a little deeper, and the remaining third came off the deep rods. Nothing special, all but one was in the mid 30 inch range with one 42".

Thanks for the reports! Sounds like it was a great opening weekend with both catch/release and perhaps a few tasty rockfish dinners! As Mom used to say, all things in moderation. Keep the Sunday reports coming, wish I had been in town.
