I am from Connecticut and my wife is from the Bay area, when we come to visit we want to book this charter thanks to you. Never caught a Lingcod before
VERY nice video and fish! Thanks for the video keep it up. I MISS MY KAYAK FISHING DAYS ON THE central coast of California off Big Sur. Those were great adventures. Some of my best days fishing ever for sure!
Awesome Anthony! If you live in northern California consider jumping on one of my hosted trips next summer...I fish with boats out of the Berkeley Marina and we have lots of fun!
Well on a Bay Area trip we are on the boat basically from before sunrise until nearly dark....So we get plenty of fishing time in, but the skipper also needs to be prepared for the next day....The fuel dock is actually several miles from port and we pass that dock coming and going from the fishing grounds....The whole operation takes 20 minutes max, so its no big deal....
The fishing trip is a thumbs up but the video didn't give a lot of info about catching/hooking the Lings. It was more of an advertisement so it's a thumbs down. I use Chris landing out of Monterey and do very well.
If I may you can go w 1 reel but youll need 2 rods. Salmon if you are trolling w a weight release & a cannonball 2-2.5 lbs an affordable salmon rod is the cousins 8 ft. A better rod is a calstar about 300.00. My favorite reel for both and I have 12 saltwater reels is theshimano torium 16. You can load it w 50 lb braid which will handle both easily and more. Its a fantastic reel for the money my 14 is my go to for salmon but this holds more line. I like the phenix black diamond rod $$$ but its a bit stiff for lings and the weights youll need to jig. The trevalli is a great deal at about 100.00 for lings and rock cod. Shop around on line.
I catch wait to go on a charter should be going some time this month! Anybody got any suggestions on what lures I should use ? I’m going for rock fish and lingcod mostly
Wes here- Cal and I have very different approaches on the salt. For lings, Cal likes bait, I prefer artificial lures. Both work. I always throw bars. The P-Line Hex bar is a good go to. I also tend to go a little more finesse with light tackle on bass gear. The Shinano Lucanus jig on a swim bait rod is one of my favorites. Big swimbaits on lead heads are also a solid choice. Pick something you have confidence in and experiment. If you are interested in a great story, ask Cal about the first time he invited me on a Ling charter.
@@FHSTackle awesome thanks for the advice Wess I’m researching everything about fishing right now there is a lot of stuff to learn but this channel has helped a ton and I am interested in that story you got me curious 😀
Been out of Morro Bay once. The worst trip I've ever had. The whole crew was pretty much sucking the balls off of their regulars and intentionally mis-gaffing fish for the new guys. Fuck 'em.
It's worse up in Eureka. I usually take charters in Socal. Granted more people, but I'm not ready to spend $120-$230 for a possible skunk and very limited time dropping line.
does anyone know a good affordable saltwater baitcasting rod like the man in the red sweatshirt had, maybe a rod under $150? thank you for any information given.
80$ Ugly stik tiger 7ft or $130 shimano trevala medium light 7ft but you get what you pay for I believe they are both about the same except the travlas guides will last longer than the ugly sticks
What charter skipper fuels up in front of his customers? He is either using their paid time or trying to make you feel bad about the cost.Either way, it's the one reason NOT to use this operator. He is a disgrace.
I've been on lots of charter boats the fueled up in front of clients....In the case of Bay Area charters the fuel dock is a long run from port but on the way to the fishing grounds, so it's pretty common practice here in Norcal, but I see your point....
Every boat Ive been on out of the bay does this so are they ALL disgraceful??? Quang is 1 of my 2 go to charters, Donny is the other. Quangs got over 30 yrs experience and he got me a 35 lb halibut this yr so Id consider being a little more judicious with the criticism.
Lol...the captain won the reel! I've been on this boat so many times, particularly last year. The guy's super entertaining.
I am from Connecticut and my wife is from the Bay area, when we come to visit we want to book this charter thanks to you. Never caught a Lingcod before
When I was a kid we would catch huge Yelloweye in Puget Sound , it has been closed for decades for all Rockfish.
Excellent information! I'm learning how to get big ling and this helps.
VERY nice video and fish! Thanks for the video keep it up. I MISS MY KAYAK FISHING DAYS ON THE central coast of California off Big Sur. Those were great adventures. Some of my best days fishing ever for sure!
Sand dab are good eating
...Well we used them...Some folks used the dabs...Some went with frozen mackerel, while others went with jigs and swmbaits...Everybody was hooking up!
this makes me want to go charter boat fishing! Cool vid!
I've been with this boat and his brothers boat and evey time nothing but limits
So excited, I'm finally getting on a charter this year!
Awesome Anthony! If you live in northern California consider jumping on one of my hosted trips next summer...I fish with boats out of the Berkeley Marina and we have lots of fun!
Cal Kellogg Outdoors where can I get more info I'm interested live in norcal
That looked like a successful fishing trip.
Maybe the poor guy didn't have any money for fuel till everyone got there and paid!? lol
So they fill up the bait well with Dabs then use drop bait Lures? Dabs are super table fare but are better Bait! Wondering why they weren't used?
I’d be pretty mad if they fueled up during the trip

Sand dabs to me look like under sized flounder,is that right?
Rick Glow same family different fish. sand dabs only grow to a certain size which isn't very big
how deep, what's the bottom like sloped? of flat?
Cool Fish! Good video, I like seeing fish I Can't catch here!
Captain quan my boi
Yes...He is the man!
What charter company is this?

Hey Cal, Any recommendations for a good all purpose rod/reel/line combo for salmon/rock cod/ling, if that exists?
I have an ugly stick spinning rod

Where can I get that jig?
lingcod.com....I think...
Lingcodjigs.com
wasting angler time to fuel was odd to me... norcal is so overpriced though. i go out from morro bay for $60

What was the charter called?

stingers up go sac st.

his reel costs about 150 lol

Not sure I’d fish with a captain that fuels 300 gallons on the passengers time .
Well the boats in the Bay Area put in full days…. And the fuel docks are on the way to or back to the births so it’s cool
Earape.
Ye

Can’t believe he stopped for fuel! Unacceptable when I’ve paid for fishing time.
35 lbs halibut... you mean he got you a baby. LOL!
