Santa Cruz last Sat. was a wash.

If you are getting a handle on SC Fishing, we need to hook up next season.  My Kayak is stored at the Harbor and the convenience makes me not want to give up on SC Fishing.  I know I can eventually beat this but the expertise is hard to come by.  We will eventually find the way to fish SC like any other spot.

paddle out of the harbor, turn right.  Paddle to the wharf.  tie up, go up to stagnaros and buy your fish.  Head back down and return to harbor.

e2g Its scary how we think the same!!!

You guys have seen the pic of Alien's 32+ hali caught right there off the lighthouse a few years back right? (I gotta at least try & defend my home turf here)

& I'll say, the last 2 times I fished that general area I got a 29" ling just past Seal Rock in June, and 2 fatty black RF about 50yards farther north in July.
The July outing was due to no fishing partners available the weekend following the, um, landlord's "yak tasting" up at Bean.

I guess it's been a couple years since I've fished there, but I'd much rather fish anywhere 'twixt the harbor & Nat'l Bridge(s) than not fish at all!
