Here locally just south of Moss landing. Surf got gnarly about 9 am. Landed 2 fatties and a medium which I gifted to a friend. Starting to catch bigger fish more frequently. Might hit it again tomorrow. :smt001

Nice!

Bulldog---Alex,
Please remove the shipping plastic from your cork handle :smt003
Wish i could of join you...still on weekend standby for work but might hit up Manresa this weekend early with the sunrise.
-
You know Alien, way before I got into kayak fishing I fished next to you at Sunset once. Funny how small or world is. Always remember us rockfishing when Pat kicked our buns at the Monterey Bay event. That was so fun and probably the most productive day I ever had rockfishing.
I miss perch fishing, but almost have the same fun with crappie down here in Texas. Scenery isn't doesn't compare like being on a beach, but it does fill a niche. Happy New Year.

16" Redtail on Christmas Day. The Barred's aren't quite up to par, so I threw one in from New Years 2017 haha!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171229/c32b4ac68cf7c6e81d4585c8fad6874c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171229/113d083a9903994827cf0c8468be104c.jpg)

Bushy busted me as well. You never know when a brutha will be down on his luck and have to return it .
Caught seven today. Only one fattie and the rest mediums.
Nice pics LeeDoo !!

I was just considering selling all of my surf fishing gear today. But looking at stuff like this reignites my desire to throw on my waders, grab my 9' rod with 15 lb test and get out on the shore.
I might just do that once RF season ends.

This !!!! When rock fishing closes, there isn't a whole hell of a lot to do here in Salinas. :smt001 Most stocked trout lakes are at least an hour and a half away. I am only 15 minutes away from perch fishing areas.The good thing is that perch really starts to pick up now. See ya on the beach . Hope to improve my striper fishing this year. I get bored with striper fishing especially when perch are more active. But the idea of having a 10 pound striper from the beach may be a little more tempting this year.

Nice catch! Yup, it's the surf once rf ends.

No fatties for me today, but landed over 30 dinks to medium. 4 species too which is always cool. Got a few barred and Silvers curing for civeche now! Might have to head south towards Moss and see about these pigs you've been nailing.

Could never forget that day! Seals chassing the big mackerel on to the beach at dark thirty! SinCoast killing the the Derby with the two flattyies and the one that decided to jump on to my lap from Pats Yak! What a day!How could i forget! :smt003

Nice perch LeeDoo! I'm also out of San Jose, so if you ever want to share a ride down to the perch walk, Let me know. :smt006

Today- Waves died down. Sand dollar beach at 9am nada Main Beach Santa Cruz.....Nada.
Manresa proper had what looked like good structure when we checked on Wednesday, mid/low tide and visible rips stretching all the way out to 2d sandbar, We need rain!! And a few 10-12-foot swells.
BTW Sand Crab Classic will start taking entries within a couple weeks. I will post here first. So great to see more people get into perch fishing. I try to perch every day I can. Like my daily nap,
"It's not just a commitment, It's a Responsibility!"
Bouché
ps don't forget the Salinas and Pajaro Rivers are holding stripers near the lagoons right now. Mostly 17-24 inches but I've heard of some 6-pound fish recently. From the bank, or from the yak.

Thanks for the update, Kuya Bushy :smt001 I think I'll try hitting up the perch tomorrow AM :fish4

Got my rockfish fix today. I will probably be perching tomorrow as well .Smallest fish buys the beers. :smt001 No excuses this year Bushster. I now have weekends off.

Went today. Was a little slow. Worked hard for 4 perchies. My partner did not show and texted me like 3 hrs later that he had the " Squirts " Ok.......
Met up with Andy and the crew after perching near the moss landing bridge for some bbq'd verms and the boys even dug out a razor clam ( I think ) that we grilled. Was frickin delicious. Thanks for the fish Andres !!!
May hit it up tomorrow again before its back to the grind on Tuesday ! That's if the party doesn't go to long tonight ! Yeeee ! :smt004

finally got the wifes car repaired around 5pm. I go for a test drive and stopped at the nearest Big5 to purchase the 2018 CA fishing Lic. Price went up $1.33 from last years.

Met up with Alien this morning, landed this BSP at a relatively quiet area of the beach at my favorite location. Gorgeous morning but it wasn't too active.

I'm Jonesing with jealousy lol . I was going out this a.m. till my wife said our furnace died . :smt013
Had to troubleshoot that till my cousin who does HVAC came over . All we needed to do was reset the blower switch and change the filter but by then :smt012

Nice guys! Had last week off work and was able to get on some excellent perching Thursday and Friday. All CPR'd except for the hungry fella who choked half of the lure - wasn't going to make it so gave it away to a guy on the beach. For some reason the same guy seemed to want to fish right next to me the next day. :smt003

dude that is a hog. one that size are hard to come by. Nice. I bet it fought like a small striper

Gonna be some serious perching going on in Bodega bay at Crabfest! Love hooking into those little runners from Outside the surfline. Great fighters!
-

Such a fun fight. I had lost one that size if not bigger a couple cast before so I was extra careful when I hooked into this one. At point I felt like I was snagged or something because he was pulling so hard and not head shaking.
The first three pics are the same fish. The 4th and 5th pics are different and in the 14" range. I got 6 more that size. Couple great days!

You can have it, braddah! I'm happy here in my little Monterey bubble. :smt004
I fished hard on Saturday with slow results. Three different spots and a ton of walking. Ended up with only 5. All about the size pictured.
The fast incoming tide and swell made it pretty sporty. To much water moving around to throw my fav lure, so I was committed to the grubs. 4 of my 5 fish came in the afternoon as the tide started to drop.
You won this weekend, Bulldog! But I will be back!

A Northern Marin County beach was going off yesterday. :smt002
Nothing too big, but steady BSPs for the three hours I was out there.

Yup. Friday I did well but Saturday I only gifted on med. As soon as I seen the water and the conditions, I only fished for an hour. I registered for the samdcrab classic. Check it out.

I went to the usual Manresa sandbar and the big colony of sand crabs moved somewhere down the beach. I couldn't locate them. Manresa at 13:30-15:30. Only got the one and took the pic and back he went. :smt006

21st was looking good, but no fish, one measly nibble. Headed to Seabright despite building winds. Got four fish one pictured below. Returned to Main Beach by Rivermouth for the evening. Slow going nibbles till almost dark then a couple fish bit. Pic of the bigger one below. Morning session was livened by a military attack(?) chopper zoomed right at me, then veered off. Probably the pilot is a surfcaster. For those of you in the know, is this an Apache? I see the pylons and predator shape.... Very cool and FAST! Banked the turn like a skater working a bowl.

I saw that bad boy as well.
Saddened that this might have been the last fishing outting with my honda crv. I purchased a 2015 crv and am trying to sneek in another trip before my sister in law picks her up. :smt010 :smt010

Hey Bushy! That looks like an AH-1Z Viper... narrow fuselage, 4 rotors, skids instead of wheels. Apaches look like deadly, fat bodied dragonflies with legs hanging down (wheels). :smt006

Dude. I caught three the other day on sandcrabs. A lot of times they would bite the head off first and I would get lucky and catch them on the second cast. ( Gotcha sucker ! :smt005 ) I think I have some learning to do on hooking the sand crab and experiment on hook sizes .
