My buddy booked a rock fishing trip for 10/24/2025. The pros. Spacious boat, good mate, prompt departure from the dock. The cons. There is a one fish limit on rock fish. There were three of us on the boat. We caught three keepers and still had 2+ hours remaining on the 6-hour charter. The captain alerted the mate to pull in the gear even though we could've caught two more fish (one for the captain, one for the mate). There was no gear on the boat to target other fish. The mate told us there is no catch and release. We were back at the dock at 10:15....chartered the boat til noon. Mate informed us that last weekend the group limited out and was back at the dock at 8:30. Bottom line, if you book a 6 or 8 hour trip, you're only fishing as long as it takes to get your one fish per person, then you're done. read more
