Howdy everyone. Just a quick note on our upcoming salmon season. There will be a salmon fishing season opener on Saturday April 3rd. However, it is not yet known how long the season will remain open but we do know it will be open for at least the month of April.

According to the California Department of Fish and Game, the salmon fishing season will run April 3rd through the 30th. See www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/oceansalmon.asp for details.

So, that’s it! We’re going salmon fishing. If you want to fish salmon this year I highly recommend getting your seats booked as soon as possible. There is an availability calendar for MEGA-BITE at www.montereybaycharters.com/calendar.htm that you can use to find your preferred fishing dates. Once you have a date in mind, click on the RATES & DATES link on our website and complete the inquiry form or simply give me a call. I wouldn’t delay. With the shortened salmon season seats are going fast. Don't miss the boat!
