Fishing Report Pacific Ocean August 7
A little change of pace for you guys. Got invited to go out on the annual Striped Bass Association potluck trip aboard the California Dawn. Got to the dock at around 5 and met some pretty cool guys aboard. Initial reports suggested that we would go for Rockfish and Lingcod, early and then try for Halibut later. We launched just shy of 6 and head to get fuel and bait.

Poor Ocean Conditions Impact Salmon Forecast
Commercial and sport anglers received mixed news today regarding the status of Sacramento River fall Chinook and Klamath River fall Chinook – California’s two largest Chinook salmon populations. While adult returns of both stocks were well below minimum escapement goals in 2017, and projected abundance for both stocks is modest compared to historic averages, state and federal fishery scientists reported an increase in the number of jacks (two-year-old Chinook) that returned to spawn in 2017. Higher jack returns, as seen in 2017, can indicate the potential for increased abundance of adult (three years old or older) Chinook for 2018 fisheries.
