Salmon fishing today was a lot of trying out different areas and no catching. We covered a lot of ground today, fishing at the Soquel hole, the Paharo, the northwest corner and even out in front of Santa Cruz harbor. No dice. We witnessed a small boat catch one that was too small just a…

Today was a great day for local fishing. Limits for 17 anglers with several nice Vermillions, Coppers, Canaries and Olives. Of course just like any local trip, we had to keep moving away from the small Rosy rockfish and we also had several small Lings. We ended up with nice overall bags. Only one keeper…

Weather tried to make things tough but the fish made it easy. The first fish hooked up 30 seconds into the first drop and it was on from there. Quite a few big rockfish were pulled up including a 8 pound Vermillion, some big Bocaccio and as has been normal this year some very nice…

Out salmon fishing today with deckhand Andrew and 7 anglers. We caught 3 keepers and 2 shorties. Plenty of missed bites and fish that just wouldn’t stay on the hook. The last half hour of the day we decided to make a 20 minute drift for some rockfish so everyone could at least have dinner…

Slow start to the day. The fish were thick but didnt seem interested in biting at first. We scratched up some good yellow tails and a few coppers. After a couple hours of that the fish seemed to wake up. Big Copper and Canary rockfish seemed to be everywhere. Finished out the day by noon…
