Today again we didn’t have many boats out, though quite a few more than we’ve been having through the weekdays. But: nobody got skunked – each boat had at least a few brown rock fish. One boat nearly limited on browns, another caught a couple of lings off Soquel point.

Stripers made a pretty strong showing today – word came in that the few we reported earlier were just the tip of the iceberg: 15 were reported caught off the ship down by the beach just at twilight. That’s awesome, though if you want to try for these you should note that the rangers won’t let you out there that early – whoever was fishing today must have gotten lucky. Your best bet for a hassle free try at the stripers would be at New Brighton around the same time of day. Some 30 pounders were spotted over there today, though 20 pounds was as large as we heard as far as what was actually caught.

Today started off pretty nice for fishing – thick marine layer and extremely calm water. The breeze picked up around noon enough to make fishing difficult, but all in all a pretty nice day for fishing. And overall, things don’t look as bleak fishing wise as they did yesterday: it definitely helped having more people out there trying there luck.
