Capitola: Is this thing on?

Larry and late winter seabass
Ah yes looks like it is. And oh look, it’s Sheriff Larry with a couple of beautiful tasty white seabass! He and Ed went out fishing off Monterey today and ended up boating a total of three seabass and a flattie. The three seabass totalled 100 pounds - Ed’s was in the 37 pound range. Word is we might have one or two additional photos coming - will post if I get them.

Capitola: First striper of the year!

Matt and little baby striper
And it’s microscopic! Here’s Matt with the first striped bass we’ve seen this season. He caught it down by the beach trying for some surf perch. This schoolie bit on a piece of shrimp on a surf leader. Good job Matt - keep ‘em coming!

Capitola: A week ago this would have be pretty cool news

Ed and Larry and tasty yum yums
Here are Ed and Larry with an awesome winter surprise! They were fishing down around Monterey in Larry’s shiny fancy newish boat, and happened upon some white seabass that were hungry for some squid on halibut rigs. Yummay! They caught four in total, the heaviest being 56 pounds, the lightest being 38. Will there be room in the freezer? Stay tuned.

Capitola: This would have been a good post…

Jason and rock fish
…if we had posted it when it was actually useful information :(

Here’s Jason with a couple of cabazone that he caught off the wharf last Wednesday. He was using a surf leader with size 4 hook with strips of squid and an 8 oz torpedo lead. He was fishing between the second gate and the beach. The RCG complex fish - rock cod, cabezone, and greenlings - are all legal off the wharf all year round (this does not include lingcod however).

So were it not for the storms that are now hitting the coast here, this’d be great, timely, and useful news! But alas we’re in winter mode a bit on these posts here, so - erg - who knows if these will still be around after the weather.

Capitola: Inksters gone wild!

The Boys and Lots of Humbolt Squid
Our commercial fleet took a day off and fished up a few Humbolt squid - here’s their catch. They were fishing in 1500 feet of water off of Moss Landing using those goofy big squid hook/lure things that glow. What you see here is 48 of them, averaging 25 pounds each. Woot! These are going to turn into a whole bunch of crab bait and maybe a bite or two of dinner.

HAPPY NEW BOAT BUCKS!!

Capitola Boat Bucks

Here they are folks, hot off the presses!  Aside from the usual cosmetic changes, we’ve made the bucks good for the entire year.  We’re continuing with the “two kinds of bucks” theme, but again: it does not matter which  version of boat bucks you bring with you - both kinds are good at either store.

img_0120
Our fearless leader lost his marbles yesterday and proclaimed that “The Salmon Gear Must Go!” - so now’s your chance folks!  If the rumors are correct (and oh man are we crossing our fingers) you’ll be needing some of this stuff next year.

The rack of stuff you see in the photo here is at the Capitola store - come on down and get yours.  Who knows when Frank will get back on the meds - hurry!

A Journey of a Thousand Miles…

…begins with a single step.

In this case that step consists of adding all the photos that weren’t included in the backup being once again indexed in the gallery (yay).  They are however indexed with new gallery id numbers, so the three hundred and seven files-to-be-properly-indexed issue remains.  If you look carefully though, you should find your summer+fall photos in the gallery now.

The next part will *definitely* take “a while”.

[edit]

Also of note:  the post automation software that we’d been using to date has been adversely affected by the upgrade; for the moment you’ll find that posts-with-pictures in the way you’re used to seeing them will be a bit sparse.  This should be somewhat ameliorated by the fact that it’s winter and there aren’t a lot of folks out fishing for anything anyway, but - just so y’know.

Stenographer considers change of career

The stenographer has conceded that a flogging is too good for him.

Obviously the problems stemming from the hard disk crash weren’t as easy to fix as they initially appeared. The jist of it is that the gallery side of the backup was a complete mess and 2/3rds useless. We got back all the gallery numbering up to the end of last June - all the numbering past that is gone. We do have the photos - I’ll be injecting those back into their galleries as time permits. But as we lost the numbering, we can only associate those pictures with fishing report entries on an item-by-item basis.  It will take a lot of time. The stenographer extends his most humble apologies. Repairs will progress at a faster pace now that the gallery issues are under control.

[edit] For the record, there we lost 307 gallery entries starting on 6/21/2009 - sigh.
