Capitola: A very long day for Ed
Mike has tuned into a afternoon halibut bite on the wharf today. This barely legal one came in down in the surf line on a green and black fluke lure. Lots of folks are fishing the same area now, but so far this is the wharf highliner. This was the largest of three Mike has hooked into so far.
The morning started off *dark* – a testament to how early Ed got here (the operative word being “too”). He tried his throw net off the floating dock when it was still dark and ended up with a net full of pinhead anchovies (a mess). So – not much by way of live bait for sale here today. The whole rental fleet was out today, and it all came back in at the same time so we missed a bunch of pictures – sorry. Most boats came in with a variety of rock cod, one boat had an 11 pound ling, and another had two better-than-legal halibut off the mile reef. There were also a couple boats that had thresher sharks on, but none landed. Rumor has it that only one thresher was actually caught today and that it will be on the Bayside report. It was supposedly over 100 pounds and had a tag on it. Right now it looks like there’s quite a bit more bait outside the marina – Ed maintains high hopes that he’ll net some tomorrow. We still have some openings for reservations for boats for Father’s Day tomorrow – if those don’t fill we’ll have maybe 8-10 boats available for walk ins. If you haven’t reserved, please come early to avoid disappointment. |
