one of my favorite fish to eat.
Crazy story. I got up on a wheel watch on the anchor one night and was taking the trash up to the bow and looked over the side and the water was full of those big bastards. So I grabbed a passengers 80# outfit and dropped a bait over. One 40-50# DoDo ate it and passed it thru his gill and another one the same size ate the bait and got hooked . I gaffed the hooked one first by myself with the pole pinned between my legs and the rail and dumped him off on deck and gaffed the next one and dumped him too and the both of them totally took out every rod from the bow to the stern on the cabin. Needless to say everybody got up and I had to go to work. lol :cool:

Amador has it's own hatchery. I go there after to get my spirits back up after sitting for 24hours waiting on a sturgeon bite and the pole never moving. you're almost guaranteed to catch at least one. Set the drag really lose and fight that little trout in like its a sturgeon... LOL!

It's a nice spot to float the river too.

small boats can't reach the albacore mostly big boats down south, they run out 100 miles or more

These big heavy boats with big bait tanks only do 10 knots hence leaving the night before. That's why anything over 70 miles turns into a 1.5 - 2 day trip but they can all so be as close as 9 miles but usually 30 miles or the inner banks is about the closets. Sometimes we leave at 10 pm and shut the motors down at 1-2 am so we don't pass them up. The El nino will push these fish besides the Albies real close. There was wahoo last year caught in US waters.:mrgreen:

I'm not a rich man... $200....I have never done well, when I just picked a day & went salmon fishing. I always catch salmon if I wait for a run....
Maybe we could pick a window, (say 2 weeks in June or July) & I'll watch the fish reports, if a run starts I'll put out the word & we can all meet at the dock.....I did this with a group of friends from so-cal once & it worked flawlessly, we all limited out & were back on the dock by 2:00pm....sweet day

Guys, on a regular year, I would entertain all you guys at my spot of the feather. It's bankin it, but we usually kill it.
This year is going to be another weak yr though because of the low and warm flows. The fish wil be there, but they just blow rite up through too fast and high.
The Sac will still be good up by red bluff(barge hole gravel bar) it was decent last year considering. We rage on the river every day of the season. Plenty of room, and I got lot's of setups for how we do it(flossing).
Anyways, just a thought

If you guy's want to schedule a fishing trip in the bay, the stripers & halibut are usually biting. If we get luck & a salmon run is on we can catch some salmon too..http://www.usafishing.com/SFBay.html

Yeah jj, summertime is striper and halibut.
Remember when planning the trip though: weak tides are going to be better for the halibut, and the bigger tides will be better for the striper/sharks.
Killer deal is a potluck trip during the summer. Rock fishing out the gate, and then drifting for the halibut inside the gate:-)
God dam, I'm getting a hard on
