Capitola and Santa Cruz Boat Rentals

Yep - it’s still here, and it’s still not helping matters.  We had one rental out of Santa Cruz and one out of Capitola.  Steve and his buddy fished a variety of spots in Capitola and managed to hook up with two kingfish.  They were good humored about it though - sometimes just getting out there can be as good as the catching.
One potentially good thing - the water has cleared up dramatically since all this started - lots of stagnant water has moved out.  Steve said he figured he could see down 20 feet today.  So - when things do get going again the fish will at least be swimming in some nice fresh water.

More when it happens…

Just over the radio - a boat out of Santa Cruz reported that he’s giving up for the day as rock fish are nowhere to be seen. Not much of a surprise - swell is still here.

Not gonna even guess as to the swell situation.  I’ll report someone else’s forecast though:  Down some tomorrow and more Friday, up slightly Saturday, way down after that. ( http://www.stormsurf.com/page2/forecast/forecast/current.shtml - California Near-shore section).  We’ll see how that goes.
