Business is steady for Robert Hansen, who's booking King Salmon fishing expeditions for three boats out of Pillar Point Harbor--the Queen of Hearts, Riptide and Ankeney Street.
The boats set out daily in search of salmon. Hansen says that not only is business good, but so is the fishing, "They come back with salmon just about every time. It's always a good time."
Everyone is welcome, from seasoned anglers to newbies. Hansen will take care of your fishing license and your gear, or bring your own. "We get locals, regulars, tourists, and people who've never been on the ocean before."
Typically the boats head 5-20 miles off shore to find the salmon.
