santa cruz-mon. 5/19- 6 brown rf caught

      Caught six brown rockfish, kept four.
   Fished by the black point buoy out to half way to mile marker.Brown rockfish  evenly scattered  therein.
                                                                                                                           Unlike 3 days ago, when things were pretty quiet,  today there were many birds, diving  pelicans, and I saw a pod of about five harbor porpoise near the buoy. The rockfish situation was about the same 3 days ago.
    A nice overcast day with light winds and good bottom holding drifts but no hali love.

Thanks for the report, Casey, Did you try jigging up some live bait?

  Fishfinder was broken , so no live bait jigging. Fished all afternoon with dead squid, hoochie jig, fish trap and metal jig. Scored  with each. There was a light ssw wind for most of the day.
   Those black diving birds, cormorants  I think, were coming up with fish and pelicans were diving here and there. A lot of cormorants tho.
