The Latest News on Fishing Seasons:
Halibut season will open on May 1 (Friday) this year, but will only be 3 days/week: Thursday, Friday & Saturday until the quote is reached. It should open again August 6th on the same schedule until quotas are met.
Bottom fish opens May 1st till the end of September. 7 days a week
Sturgeon season will open on May 9 and continue through June 28, with a bonus of July 2,3, and 4. One fish limit, must be between 45″ and 60″ to keep. Catch and release available after those dates. Great, exciting fun to see who catches the largest for the day!
Special opener for Chinook Salmon tentatively set for June, one fish limit, in the ocean, 7 days a week.
Regular Salmon opens on June 28th this year and will run for 7 days a week! It is predicted to be the best season since 2001! Buoy 10 is also supposed to be excellent, with over 1.1 million fish coming back this year.
Tuna season should begin middle to latter part of July and go into September. 7 days a week. We will have a great fishery with live bait.
