Jim reeled this 40 pounder in first thing this morning on his brother Larry’s boat. Although this is the only fish of the morning, many others were sighted straight out by the mile reef. Nobody else has landed one yet today as far as we know.
Several thresher sharks were caught and released in the same area along with dog sharks. No halibut or rock cod today - but we only had 4 boats out so that’s not necessarily a good indicator.
Bait is still in the marina despite the fact that a swell has come up. Hopefully it won’t disturb them too much.
According to the national weather service, we have no swell. If you looked at it the other day when we had no swell, you’ll have noticed that they said we had swell. So - I guess - just read what they say and then believe the opposite. |

Some data structures had gotten to large and I had to trim them down a bit. Site should be responsive and stable now - I hope. I’ve re-enabled SST and Chloro updates, and I’m running that now. Should be caught up to current in a few minutes.

We’re having some issues with web site capacity at the moment - please excuse the dust.

I’ve temporarily disabled updates of the SST and Chlorophyll charts as the generation logic is putting too much of a load on the server - I’ll have it fixed in a day or two. Sorry.

The seiners pointed the way today, and Capitola’s commercial fleet did quite well. Larry and his fish get double exposure - he’s very very happy. We will not speak of any farming that might have happened….. |

THEY’RE HERE!!
Larry was *not the first* one to catch white seabass today, but he got some nice ones - these are 30 and 33 pounders. He caught this “in front of the seiner boats” using megabaits.
More to come. |

Doug got this one - a little bit bigger (about 27 inches) off the wharf a little later this morning. All the fish off the wharf today have been caught with live anchovies and a bobber. |

And again from Soquel point, Ed is victorious with this 17 pounder, and Josh got a 19 pounder. Both using live anchovies.
Ed also got a 12 pound ling cod and a limit of browns, a few blacks, and a canary (all released) in the same area in about 60 feet of water (ling was in 55 feet). Soquel point has been like a timex lately - keeps on ticking.
Today on the wharf, we just saw a legal halibut come up - no word on what the rest of the day was like wharf wise.
Still bait in the marina and plenty in the reciever for tomorrow. Pelicans are still diving, signs are still good. NWS has a SW swell in the forcast now and for the next several days - we are not seeing any of this, so it could be just their usual miserable accuracy as regards swells. |

Soquel point seems to be the spot today - this one came up earlier than Mark’s - he stopped right behind Ed and got it 15 minutes into the drift. This 19 pounder came in on live anchovies. |

Conditions still look real good - there’s still a lot of bait in the marina and good signs out on the water. Not everyone got fish today, but most did. Some quality brown rock cod, 12 good sized halibut overall from the boats, several legal ling cod - I can’t wait. But - SHH.

Todd and Jeremy caught these two using live anchovies off Soquel point this afternoon. They lost three others and spent two hours jigging up bait. The big one was 17 pounds, the little one 14. |
