Capitola: Bait bait bait!
Ed is out fishing by the cement ship right now, and he reports that he’s been into all kinds of herring, sardines, and mackerel while flylining a bait jig.

Capitola: Thar she blows!
|
|
We had a nice little show this morning courtesy of a gray whale doing a walkabout – or something. Â It came straight into the marina toward the beach and swam around a bit and spouted a few times. Â Pretty cool. The photos don’t do it justice, but you can see how close to shore it was. |

Capitola: Slip sliding away
|

Pictured is the big entertainment of the day on the Capitola wharf: A boat that showed up a few days ago anchored in “the bad spot”* broke anchor as the winds started to come up this afternoon, and sure enough it blew straight through the marina toward the beach/reef. Â The lower photo shows Vessel assist claiming what will in all likelihood be an addition of questionable value to its fleet.Not much happening fishing wise – the perch et al went into hiding. Â Ed is pretty confident that if the wind comes up out of the NW tomorrow as the weather reports say it will, fishing in the break should improve dramatically. Â So – c’mon northwest wind! * “The bad spot” is anywhere west of an imaginary line through the center of the length of the wharf – holding is just generally very tenuous there. Â When in doubt, rent a mooring – plenty of boats have gone ashore here for lack of local knowledge and experience. |

Santa Cruz: Getting fishy
Some additional good news – in Santa Cruz today we have reports of sardines being caught towards the end of the wharf, and reports of herring off the cement ship. There was also a report of a legal halibut off the cement ship.
We hear that anchovies and squid are beginning to make a showing down by Monterey, and we saw a grey whale working something just outside the marina in Capitola this afternoon.
Good signs indeed!

Capitola: Water is clear, but…
|
|
…perch have slowed down a bit. Andy got one today, and that’s about it so far. Here’s Lou with a jacksmelt he caught midway on the wharf using shrimp on a bait jig. Looks like a school of medium sized ones has taken up residence here for the moment.
Ed got a smaller jacksmelt on a dead man setup hoping for a halibut or a striper – fingers are crossed all up and down the wharf here. No other stripers have been landed since Saturday, but someone did have one on Sunday – shrimp on a surf leader – but he farmed it. So – things are slowly picking up – more as it happens. |
