Capitola: Great day for the regulars
| * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 76938 * | Yalin is one of our regulars here – he and his friends come just about every week to fish Capitola reef. This week he got this nice grass cod using anchovies on a surf leader, and a barrel of jacksmelt. We have been negligent in getting Yalin’s picture on the site here, so he was pretty happy when Ed whipped out the camera this week. See you next time Yalin! |

Capitola: Adan lands his first halibut!
| * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 76935 * | So Adan had quite a day today – here’s his lifetime first halibut! He caught this 30 incher fishing Capitola reef with a split tail white scampi (1 oz head). So you can see from his smile here that he was pretty happy – we have to say, a lot gets lost when you try to cram all that happiness into two dimensions. |

Capitola: It is a Sixth Sense thing with these
| Darrell caught this grass cod out at the end of the wharf using an anchovy on a surf rig. What Darrell tapped into here is the little colony of rock fish that live under the wharf. They aren’t out and about all the time – just when the mood strikes them. That’s why you don’t see a lot of them coming up off the wharf all the time. So Darrell’s enthusiasm is well justified. Congratulations Darrell – you found them!
We did just get a bunch of one day fishing licenses, so the panic post from earlier today isn’t such a big deal. If you get one somewhere else, fine, but we have them – don’t worry. Also – we have some unreserved boats here – come early if you want to get in on one of those. Otherwise – here’s to a good tomorrow – hopefully we’ll be posting lots of pics. |

Capitola: Lots of fun for the kids on the wharf
| Walleye have been kinda off the hook today – here’s Thomas with one of them. He caught this one right next to the sink, but they’ve been coming up all over the place along with shiners, mackerel, and tiny little tomcods. They were biting on bait jigs with bits of shrimp. Pretty much any kid that was fishing on the wharf today was a pretty happy camper with all this action. It’d be nice if these hung around for a while – they’re fun for the whole family. |

Capitola: Fishing this wharf is like riding a bike
| We haven’t seen Joe in a while, but that definitely hasn’t messed with his ability to fish this wharf! This here is a 9 pound striper! He caught this using a live sardine under a bobber close to the beach on the east side of the wharf. Welcome back Joe! |

Capitola: Gimme a D. Gimme a A……
| K well I don’t have enough space to spell it out in the title but yeah you guessed it: Darn Glenn again.
Here he is with his 5 foot long stringer of fish. Most people did not do this well today. But of course Glenn is not most people. So let’s examine Darn Glenn’s day, maybe we can learn from him. He fished all day. Most of the day he tried for halibut off Soquel point. This was not a fruitful exercise except for one just legal one which you see here – it bit a live sardine. As the day came near to a close, Glenn pushed the fail safe button (well, for him anyway) and went for the rock cod. All of these came from Soquel point and they all bit on swim baits. Once again Glenn, we are in awe. |

Fishing Licenses – Please read!
Ugh – we’ve had a shipping error and have run out of fishing licenses at both our locations.  Please purchase them before you come down for your boat!  You can get them at a Longs Drugs, Outdoor World, Kmart, Bayside Marine, and most sporting good stores. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oops – a bug
Sorry folks – I had the Boccie Boy Bait troller all set up but I neglected to actually activate it, so today’s report is quite tardy. Â For the record – he has bait! Large sardines.

Capitola: I am ready for my closeup Mr Warhol
Barukh is a regular reader of the report here, so he was pretty jazzed about landing this striper on the wharf today. Here it is dude – your (first) 15 minutes 
He was fishing close to the surf line flylining a mackerel which he jigged up in the same area with a bait jig. A school of stripers was swimming around in the area when this one was caught – no one else caught one. But Steve (fishing closer to the beach) caught a 26 inch halibut on a live sardine. We’d have had a nice picture of it but Ed was kinda busy jigging up baits. Problem was that bait was a little more hard to come by toward the latter part of the day, so he was kinda busy. While he was on his way down to take a picture, he had another one on but it popped off. And as Ed was walking back he saw some people catching shiners by the gate. Ed would have jigged some of those up, but he wanted to engage the stenographer before he bailed out. Good call Ed So today – bait wise, *off the hook* in the morning and especially toward the outside of the marina. It was nuts. And sea lions are still hanging around – they’re stuffed. Weather wise – this morning a bit drizzly, and a bit breezy, but that all laid down by about 8:00am. It stayed really nice ’til about 1:00pm when the winds started coming up again. We’re definitely moving into a summer pattern here. |

Capitola: This bait fishing with the kids thing is catching on
| Here’s Leo and his dad with a bucket of some of the stuff that was swimming around here by the millions today. They caught sardines, mackerel, jacksmelt, and kingfish (yay!). Leo is a regular on the wharf here – many times he’s spent a good chunk of his day around our bait tank netting bait. So today was definitely a red letter day for Leo – he caught his own with a bait jig on a BOAT!! Arguably his best fishing day ever. Here’s to many more, Leo!! |
