Anyone want sone crab bait for their hoops? Lol
Have a busted wrist and moving. Won’t have time to pull hoops soon, or store it where I’m moving. Only going to be able to store it till Friday.
Let me know if you can pick it up, near Santa Cruz before then. Also headed to SFO Thursday afternoon, if someone is interested along the route.

Can smell that seal through the photo 
Looks like a nice morning walk

Lots of live bait in the water. Jigged up a ten or so chunky sardines! Immediately picked up by something. Should be epic considering the forecast, good luck NCKAians

Let’s just do a raffle with no attendance if it comes down to it 

Bet those boaters didn’t get limits 
Don’t let those lames get to you.

Nice bag! that’s should make for many great meals. Sorry to hear about your family situation. I hope they have a speedy recovery, and you can get plenty of relief from future fishing excursion.

Fished two week ago in capitola. Around 10am I heard some water disturbance behind me. Like water splashing. Immediately I thought I it was a harbor seal, since I’ve had them shadow me before. It was a dorsal fin sticking out do the water, decent sized one at that. The shark was maybe 15’ long and healthy. I slowly hit my rutter and swing my red revo 11 around to the left to face it. With the intention of letting the shark know I’m not running from it, and aware it’s there(read this is what you’re supposed to do?) Then it descends down below my visibility, no where to be seen on my fish finder. I concluded my session. No, I don’t run a shark shield. Yes I kayak fish capitola religiously. This is the second time I’ve encountered a gws since I started kayak fishing in May 2020.
That same day earlier on the water, another kayak hooked a great white(maybe the same one), and then it bumped him off his yellow Ocean Kayak. He was a little shook up. My friend and I rafted up to him, talk to him for a second. My friend let the kayaker barrow his phone to call his dad…. parted ways and he continued to fish after the incident… hope he scored.
Today a local fisherman posted a photo & video of seal rock. The rock was covered with a red stain in the photo. In the video you can see a seal get up on the rock and bleed out rapidly.
Sure shark shield prices will spike and sell out after this month.
Initially wasn’t going to share my experience, but after the attack at lover point. I feel it’s very relevant. The ocean is a fun, but also dangerous place. I wish everyone tight lines and good vibes on the water. Be safe.

Hell ya nice bounty. That can is think, how deep did you catch it?
