Awesome day! There was a light offshore breeze in the morning and it was a little cool, but that was short lived. It was t-shirt weather the rest of the day. The swell and waves just stayed down all day in here (up the coast it was UP (Larry said it was pretty nasty). Dan wanted to go farther north, but ended hanging around Soquel point because of it.
Bait was plentiful outside the marina - lots of sardines with some jack mackerel mixed in. Glen said he did best with the jack smelt, which he found out in 60 feet of water. He got some blacks and blues and one keeper ling.
Other than that - man - it’d be nice to see a month of days like this. Awesome. |

Steve and Kelly and Dan went out in Dan’s boat today and - well - they scored. Steve’s 28 pound halibut came in off Soquel point in 75 feet of water on a halibut rig with live sardines. Kelly’s ling and Dan’s ling and vermillion came in in the same area on the same gear. Beautiful catch!
Four of the rental boats had small but legal halibut - all off Soquel point. Two private launches (aside from the earlier post) also came in with small halibut.
So the halibut bite appears to be back on to some degree. Yay. |

Shea and her family cashed in on the bite at Soquel point today in 40 feet of water. These two lings came in on live sardines (which they jigged up right out in front of the marina past the mile reef). It was generally a pretty good day for lings - Larry says it was kind of a wide open ling bite. We saw 6 other lings come in on the rentals - really a nice bite. |

Here’s Wendy with her brown rock cod - good job Wendy! She caught this one out by the mile reef in a rental with her family. They saw some yellow fins out there, but weren’t sure if they were seabass or barracuda. Some other rentals have hooked up (but lost) barracuda in the same area. |
