Ed caught this greater-than-36-inch leopard shark off the wharf on live mackerel on a dead man setup. In between getting a couple boats out he noticed that his rod was doubled over. A few customers had to wait a few minutes while he landed it - Pete helped with the crab net. It was pretty fun - it was a fighter.
He caught the mackerel using bait jig with strips of mackerel under a bobber. Elsewhere on the wharf Andy and the old guys caught some perch, and Ed saw the first decent steelhead of the year - maybe 2 pounds - jumping right by the hoist. Steelhead are catch and release weekends, Wednesdays, and holidays, and it opens here December 1st. Oh - and remember: Rock cod is only open ’til November 15th, so if you want to get in some fishing before the end of the season, you should think about getting a move on and get out here. Use those boat bucks folks! |
