Capitola: Ed’s Halibut
|
|
As promised, here’s Ed and his halibut. He kinda jojo’d the estimate – it ended up being more like 15 pounds. Darn.
Lots of activity continues in the area, but the fish must have eaten their fill as they haven’t bitten on much of anything since this morning. Through the day there were lots of jack mackerel, sardines, and anchovies to be had jigging. Else, not much action. In Santa Cruz, south rock was producing a decent number of rock cod most of the day, and Sheriff Larry lost a big ling. |

Capitola: Another flattie off O’Neil’s
Ed just called and said he brought in a nice 18-20 pound halibut off O’Neil’s just before 9:00 this morning using live anchovies (picture later).В There are other boats around him – so far he’s not seen others with fish coming up, but the day is young.

Capitola: Lots of telltale action in the marina
This morning under a good marine layer the marina area is really showing a lot of telltale activity: lots of sea lions, pelicans, and birds working from the kelp to the west of the wharf through the marina. Same story – lots of bait, spread out thin.

Capitola: Rock fish at the mile reef
|
|
This post is a bit late, but Bodey and Sevannah caught some nice rock fish out by the mile reef using jigged anchovies.
On the wharf today a couple of sharks were landed – one leopard and one dog – both went back in the water. There was a lot of bait to be had jigging off the wharf. One angler was particularly happy with that as she said she just fries the bait up with a little salt and pepper in olive oil for an awesome meal. At the end of the day here the weather remains nice, though at one point the sun was orange due to the high-level smoke from the fires. Right now we have lots of birds – including pelicans – working the marina. So – the bait is back, but again it is both plentiful and thin – jigging remains the way to go. |

Capitola: Ling on light gear
|
|
Oliver caught this 24 inch ling fishing around the kelp just off O’Neil’s. Extra cool part: he caught it on a Sabiki while jigging for bait!
Today started out foggy, and there was a lot of bait in the marina, with birds working. The fog has cleared out and the breeze has been staying down, so it’s still pretty decent on the water. There’s not been a lot of talk on the radio so far, but we have many rentals out so there will be news eventually. There are still some rentals available if you want to get out there today. |

Capitola: Legal ling off Soquel point
|
|
James landed this legal ling off Soquel point in 40 feet of water using swim bait.
Conditions today are a bit drizzly and slightly bumpy. The bait is a bit more sparse – it seems to have moved to New Brighton. Bob was fly fishing the New Brighton area and hooked up a 5 pound striper using a squid pattern fly. After he landed the striper, he had a white sea bass follow his squid up to the boat (no bite). |

Capitola: Wharf update
Fishing on the wharf has been productive….. if you like small fish. Today has seen plenty of anchovies, shiners, king fish, and perch. Nothing big, but fun for the kids.
There is still quite a lot of bait in the water, but it remains spread out, so jigging is still your best bet. If Ed manages to get some into the bait tank tonight we’ll let you know.
