Lovely Martha: 12 salmon for 10 anglers after Tuesday’s hotspot faded

Capt. Mike Rescino of Lovely Martha Sportfishing, slipped at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, filed a Sept. 22, 2026, NorCal Fish Reports note on a day that did not stay where Monday’s fish had been. The boat went back to that hotspot, found the conditions had changed, and moved back down the hill until the bite showed up.

The full-day trip finished with 12 salmon for 10 anglers — a little better than a fish a rod. The dock totals sheet for the same day lists the same 10 anglers and 12 king salmon. Relative to the report date, Rescino said the boat still had room Friday and Monday through Friday of the following week. Reservations are at lovelymartha.com or with Capt. Mike at (650) 619-6629.

This is Tuesday’s trip, separate from the Sept. 21 Lovely Martha brief already on the desk. Confirm current fall San Francisco-zone Chinook rules, including the shared fall guideline, before keeping kings.
