For those of you who might not have heard, this Saturday July 4th is a Free Fishing Day - no fishing license is required to fish from a boat or beach all day that day! If you’ve always wanted to give fishing a try, this Saturday is definitely a good day for that. Call and reserve a boat soon - they’ll likely go fast!
Note: fishing from the wharf is *always* free to children and adults alike. There’s an exception to the fish licensing rules that applies to public wharves on the coast. If you just want to fish from the wharf, you never need a license.

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. For the record - he has bait! Large sardines.

I’ve added the Stagnaro Sportfishing and Reel Sport Fishing reports to the report troller.
[edit]
I’ve also added Boccie Boy Bait’s bait report page.

We made all kinds of noise about it last year — and then nothing happened. Well, this year (in fact as of today), our Santa Cruz location has a new computer and an internet connection. So very shortly - you will start seeing regular posts from the other side of town in addition to the Capitola ones. Rejoice!

Just a heads up: I’m putting together a thing I’m calling “Report Troller” that checks for and reports on updates to other fishing reports. Nothing fancy - it’ll just say “so and such report has an update” and include a link to the site. I’m enabling it now for just Bayside Marine, but it should work for some other pages as well. If you have a favorite report that you’d like to have the troller checking on, please leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
[edit]
I’ve added Captain Jimmy Charters and Monterey Bay Charters reports to this as well.

Direct from VHF channel 11 about 8 minutes ago: Boccie is at this very moment headed into the harbor with 70 (SEVENTY) scoops of live sardines in the 5-6 inch range. He and Kevin netted them just off New Brighton beach this evening.
This means:
* You can go see Boccie on S dock in the harbor and get yerself some perfect bait
* Things that eat bait are gonna be really happy about this

Someone called today to report that the weather condition system was busted (thank you!). It looks like something got jammed up in the weather station itself - it had to be powered down completely. It’s working again, but I suspect this will occur every few months.

We’re having a bit of trouble with server load at the moment and are working on a solution - if the site is not responding, please try back later.

The clock in the camera reset at some point in the winter - I’ve just set it properly so EXIF data in the photos will include the date & time the photo was taken again. To see the EXIF data, just click on any photo. If the date/time is absent, that’s a photo where the camera clock wasn’t set. Again - as of now the EXIF data should be correct.

Here they are - hot off the presses: 2009 Boat Bucks!
Print yourself some boat bucks and get $10 off of an all-day boat rental Monday through Thursday.
This year we have two versions of bucks - one with a Capitola theme, one with a Santa Cruz one. Both versions of the bucks are valid in both locations, so it doesn’t matter which ones you print out. If you like orange print the Capitola ones, if you’re more into green, go for the Santa Cruz ones.
The links on the right side are to PDF files with three bucks each, or you can print the images on the left - just click into them to get a bigger version. Note that the PDF versions are easier and generally look better (provided you have a PDF viewer installed).

If you happened to notice the data feed dropout during last night’s weather, then you now know exactly what it looks like when the dsl line we have running out on the wharf there gets “wet”. I suppose this means that the longer you *don’t* see data, the worse the storm is. hehe.

On another technical note, I’ve enabled caching on the server side to further reduce load & speed things up. It should be transparent to you, but if you notice any new problems please take a moment if you have one to mention it in a comment to this article.

I’m trying to make the weather data feed as robust as possible, so along the way I’m introducing error conditions that may come up. I found a doozie last night, hence the downtime. There will probably be another week of this. I’m adding some graphs to the Right Now page - that’s turned out to be a bit tricky - so - please nevermind the dust.

Well, Mike H. installed the new weather station hardware on and around our radio tower in Capitola about two weeks ago, and yesterday we finally got the extra little bits that lets our computer in the store talk to the base station. So - well - see that thing just to the right of this post here that says “Weather Now”? The stuff in there is really actually the reading that our weather station gave us sometime within a minute of the time you loaded this page. (That’s the kewl
). We’ve started a page for the weather station stuff as well . There’s actually some additional data that we can get from the system that we’re not using yet - we’ll get to it at some point. Anyway - enjoy.
