Capitola: Note from Matt

Matt mentioned today that in their persuit of halibut they had trouble keeping rock fish off the hook. The ocean is really hopping right now.

Capitola: Double halibut hookup!

Charlie and Ryan scored big time today with a double hookup of halibut. They were fishing in a rental boat off O’Neil’s using live chovies and each hooked up a 13 and 14 pounder. They were gaffed within two minutes of each other!
