Ahoy there one and all!

What a grand fourth of July! We have been salmon fishing and I have run out of things to describe this season so far. Words like wide open bite, time for breakfast, caught a fish a minute! all seem to be overused!

The weather has been kicking up for the month of June and up through yesterday. Seems like the bigger the seas and winds the more ferocious the bite! Saturday we had some regulars and a bunch of beginners and everyone was having a grand time. Well, most of them - a few were "under the weather." There is something about a wide open bite that inspires people to rise above it all! This has to be the best salmon fishing I can recall in my thirty years of doing this.

And now the fish are starting to move onto the beach! We have heard that there were fish caught today at Martins Beach and also Fran fished at the harbor buoys and caught three limits of salmon there! One of the city boats fished at Muscle Rock and caught 12 limits earlier in the week.

It is grand having options as to where to go to catch fish. Should I run off shore and hammer them or try to fish the beach?? Decisions, decisions!!!! Join us on a trip aboard the Riptide soon!

P.S. Rock Cod opens August 1st - we still have some weekend dates available - Sunday the 8th is an open load - make your reservations now! Capt. Smitty www.riptide.net 888-747-8433 415-469-8433
