RTF Saltwater Guide trip 06/02/2019 - It’s still June and still gloomy here at the Channel Islands but with that we have beautiful ocean conditions. Picked up returning passengers Andy, Garret and Eric on this beautiful spring morning. We shot across to the island in absolutely gorgeous lake like conditions and made it to the island in a quick fashion. We started out in the White Sea bass zone to keep tabs on them but unfortunately they were nowhere to be found today which makes them live up to their name as the “gray ghosts”. Instead, a new wave of barracuda and bonito pushed into the area and the guys laughed, crap talked to each other and had a blast pulling on as many barracuda as they wanted to catch in an absolutely wide open bite. Double and triple hookups were nonstop for awhile until they got tired of catching them. With nice weather and and a change of pace, we switched gears and tied up some plastics to go cast around in the dark shallows where boiler rock calico bass lurk. Didn’t take long for the boys to start whooping the bass and even having doubles and triples on these too. Very fun action but also good quality as well. All three of the guys each caught at least one trophy size calico bass to go along with the many other nice ones that were flying into the boat. After winding in bass and seeing followers trying to steal the bait out of the hooked basses mouth and big bass shooting out from the rocks to charge the boat and eat a bait at the rod tip, we eventually made a move and to get the guys some fish to take home. With plastics and bass gear still in hand, we caught quality rockfish in the shallows that will be released into some hot oil at home to finish up an awesome day of fishing at the Channel Islands. Awesome trip and even better people to share it with. Thanks boys, can’t wait to see you for the next one. -Jake Klinshaw

RTF Saltwater Guide trip 05/31/2019 - June is here and so is the gloom. Picked up Richard and Cameron on this overcast Friday and shot across in beautiful weather to the island. The guys opted to try and catch a seabass over anything else. Unfortunately I think the storm and colder water temperatures that resulted from the storm had these fish lockjaw and after several attempts of locating the school and getting the lines right in the middle of it, we never captured one. Richard and Cameron wouldn’t give up and weren’t getting discouraged so we left the not biting school and looked for a new area that hopefully had biting fish in it. With even better conditions in the new area we were very optimistic but unfortunately never located a school. Instead, barracuda stole the show and had some fun pulling on these aggressive fish that were charging the boat and eating baits right at the rod tip.  After spending most of the day giving an honest try to catch a White Sea Bass, we cut our losses and caught some bass and sheepshead to bring a little more action into the day before we had to call it. Thank you fellas, hope to see you again. - Captain Jake Klinshaw

RTF Saltwater Guide trip 04/05/2019 - Met up with PJ and his grandson who is visiting from Washington on Friday morning for an early season spring day of fishing. On the idle out of the harbor, PJ said that they had two goals they wanted to try to achieve for the day. First one being that he had never caught a White Sea bass before and was hopeful we could change that. The second was that his grandson had a personal record of the most amount of fish caught in one day previously being 13 and he wanted to try and beat that. With optimism to achieve these two goals, we set out on beautiful lake like conditions and made the crossing to the Channel Islands. First thing once getting to the island was searching for the right conditions. It took some patience and a little while to find the right stuff but the guys hung in there and once we found a kelp line looking just right, PJ followed directions perfectly and connected on his first ever White Sea bass. Stoked! Within the following hour we had limits of White Sea bass on the boat and were off to a great start with one of the two goals being accomplished. We plunked at some eager calico bass for a little while after that put on a very visual show with hooked bass coming up with followers trying to steal the bait out from the mouths of the others. Very fun fishing. The guys then wanted some fish to take home with their sea bass for tacos so we finished up catching very shallow water rockfish and limits of lingcod on light line in under 100 feet of water. This is where the second goal was achieved as the personal record of thirteen fish was broken. With lots of fish to take home, we pointed the boat back towards the harbor and headed home on the calm channel. Awesome day with even more awesome people. Just goes to show that you don’t have to wait for giant fish counts from Sportfishing boats to make the decision to go fishing or not. The best trips come from people who have zero expectations and go fishing just simply because they like the sport and want to enjoy the day. Thanks for booking a trip PJ, I had a great time with you guys, let’s do it again. Cheers.
