This is probably weather related; we’ve had a slight southerly swell move in, and the wind is howling down the coast right now (we are very happy we have Pleasure Point protecting us in here in Capitola).

Scooter here bucked the trend however by catching these – 23 and 24 inch halibut. He was fishing Bomborra with live sardines all day. The bite finally happened around 3:30 this afternoon (while waiting he brought in a few rock cod as well). As far as we know this makes Scooter the highliner in these parts today – congratulations!

Larry and Parker can rightfully claim “also ran” – they came in with one legal halibut (which Parker caught) – it bit over off New Brighton beach.

The wharf does not quite have a tumbleweed problem yet, but there was a pretty significant drop in activity. The main issue is the lack of bait – all we saw were some walleyes and shiners.

Larry reports that our bait appears to have moved over to New Brighton (and Ed thinks it’s likely that it’s thick all the way to the ship).
