they were plagued with a marauding
band of sea lions that took 8 of the
fish off of the lines.
Aughney said, “There were only
three other boats out so the entire
band of sea lions were feeding off of
us. Improved weather will bring out
more boats this week, and I expect
salmon scores to take off.

still has the crab pots in the water until
the season closure on June 30th, and
he will pull the pots on occasion, Powers
will be taking the rockfish/crab/salmon
combination trips through the closure of
Dungeness season before concentrating
on rockfish/salmon combinations.
The month of July should be
outstanding, and reservations in both the
campgrounds and on the party boats is
advised as traffic at the launch ramp is
expected to be very high, particularly on
weekends.

FISHERMAN’S WHARF
Halibut and Stripers Grab
Live Bait in Bay
SAN FRANCISCO - Anglers
aboard the Bass Tub have been
experiencing top-notch halibut and
striped bass action in both south
and central San Francisco Bay.
“Most live bait trips are producing
2 to 3 fish per rod, a mixture of
halibut and striped bass,” said Erik
Anfinson, captain of the Bass Tub.
“Most years the halibut fishing
is slower on the bigger tides.
25
This year it doesn’t seem to matter
whether the tides are big or small for
the halibut to bite. Most of the halibut
are going from 8 to 15 pounds.”
The latest half day trip by the Bass
Tub produced 26 halibut and seven
striped bass for 13 anglers, noted
Anfinson.
A salmon charter on Saturday, June
8, produced tough fishing aboard the
Bass Tub. “The 20 anglers bagged 6
salmon while trolling with anchovies
off the Marin County Coast,” said
Anfinson.

“Another great week of fishing in Cabo,”
exclaimed Capt. Tracy Ehrenberg of Pisces
Sportfishing. “Quite a few highlights this time
around, as we also had one of our Pisces boats,
Pisces 72’ Tag Team, participate in the 1st Annual
Robert Ross Tournament in Loreto, bringing back
1st place with 22 billfish released! In Cabo, we
saw decent numbers of striped marlin around
too, with the top boat being Pisces 31’ Tracy
Ann with 5 striped marlin released in one day.
Tuna and dorado were slow, with only a few
caught of each, but the inshore fishing was
excellent. Again, roosterfish, jack crevalle and
red snapper, along with some yellowtail, grouper
and triggerfish, were the main catches.”
“Beginning the week off strong, Pisces 32’ Bill
Collector and anglers from Texas, the Owens’
and Hauck families, did well to release 4 striped
marlin. The fish ranged in size from 70 to 140
lbs each, and hit on dead caballito bait, slow
trolled, out of the 11:50 Spot. The next day, Bill
Collector did well again with 2 striped marlin
released on live caballito bait out of Punta Gorda.
While halibut have been the focus for anglers drifting live bait in S.F.
Bay, there are some beautiful stripers in the mix too.

Later in the week, again, 1 striped marlin
released, this time only 6 miles off of
Palmilla, hitting on ballyhoo bait. Closer
to Cabo, around Santa Maria area, they
also caught 1 bonita on feather lure, 2
skipjacks on green/white hoochis, and
12 triggerfish which they kept for anglers
from Ohio,” related Ehrenberg.
“Pisces 31’ Tracy Ann, which caught the
most marlin in one outing this week, found
their 5 stripers fish from the 11:50 to the
95 Spot. They trolled dead caballito and
also managed to spot a few marlin close
to the surface and cast live bait. All fish
were quite close in size, from 100 to 120
lbs for anglers Scott and Wesley Williams
from Dallas, Texas. They also caught one
of the only dorado of the week, which
weighed about 15 lbs,” said Ehrenberg.
“For inshore action this week, we
saw Pisces 23’ Panga Samantha do an
excellent job, consistently, starting off the
week with 2 roosterfish and 1 jack crevalle
