Saturday Trip 5/7

May 10th, 2011 | Comments Off

The Crackerjack went out on an inshore Halibut trip Saturday as the Gracie K was tied up for an engine repair. The 10 hour trip didn’t get any Halibut because the drift just wasn’t cooperating, but Capt. Jack did bring back tons of big rockfish and a couple awesome lingcod. Crabbing was poor again and has been lately, but everyone was in good spirits and went home with lots of fish! … Read entire article »

Another great tuna day!

August 15th, 2010 | Comments Off

The Crackerjack brought back 57 albacore last night! They were out between 30 and 40 miles with a full boat of ten. Way to go guys! The next open tuna in August are on the 25th (6 spots) and the 27th (1 spot) and then we have room for a whole boat on the 31st. The Sea Quell had a bottom fishing double header yesterday and got 53 crab in 6 pots on the morning trip! However, by the afternoon the next set of 3 pots only brought in 7. That's kinda the way crabbing goes in Newport! Captain Art is out for Salmon today and then a Salmon/Bottom combo tomorrow with one spot left. I will post again later with how salmon fishing was today. Give us a call if you want … Read entire article »

Above pictures are from Wednesday's trip, a mixed group of 9 brought in 36 fish! Light tackle casting when the boat stopped trolling helped bring in several extra fish, good job to the guys who reeled all those suckers in. Today's private group of 10 brought in 36 fish and came in 3 hours early! Imagine what 3 more hours of fishing time could have done! Nice to see some ladies on this trip, thanks for coming out! … Read entire article »
