Steve and his buddy had a successful fishing trip off Capitola Reef using swim baits to find fish… Once the bites slowed they used frozen bag Anchovies to entice more bites. |

Dave got this legal halibut working the shallows at Capitola reef along with a nice limit of grass cod, and he lost a big ling. Halibut was caught on a halibut rig with a dead anchovie working the edge of the kelp. Lingcod was lost because the treble hook broke (darn!). |

Since Monday, there were two legal halibut caught off the wharf (Capitola) using frozen anchovies, and one on a rental boat using swim bait. We’ve not had many rental boats out so it’s hard to say if that really means anything. A private boater out of the harbor picked up an 18 pound halibut trolling off Soquel point in 50 feet of water.

Our friends Jeffrey and Carla returned to Capitola this time to try out fishing from a boat. They were overjoyed to catch these nice grass and black and yellow cod off the Capitola reef. They had a lot more on but were fishing too light of a tackle. They’d have been more successful with either a heavier spinning rod outfit or bait casting rod. Swim baits are the key to bagging nice cod. Regardless, these guest teachers from the Philippines are smiling ear to ear as you can see - beginners luck rules! |

Yesterday:
A rental boat was fishing in 50 feet of water tossing kastmasters and hooked two fish that they chased down and lost. The fish they described sounded like a couple of very nice white sea bass.
Not rumor: Several rock fish (Glen got his limit again as usual), a few short lingcod off Capitola reef, and a 15 pound halibut was caught off Pleasure Point.
On the Capitola wharf, there was also a 30 pound striper found swimming in the shallows.

Ed displays his 10lb White Seabass caught while fishing off Capitola on a sassy shad swimbait.
There is finally some Anchovies around so fishing should be getting better each day. Weather this coming holiday weekend looks like it is going to be good so make your reservations before they fill up!!! |

Hernando and Justin enticed this flattie with white swim bait off the Capitola reef. Also a nice halibut was lost off the mile reef in Santa Cruz, and someone called Todd at Bayside in Santa Cruz saying they got a 30 inch halibut in the same area. |
