nice.  best place I used to hit off Santa Cruz was South Rock. Its a big rocky  reef with ledges and caves a bit bigger than a couple of football fields.  The top is in 75' and the bottom is at 120'

We would line up the mile buoy with midway between the north and middle KSCO radio towers and the tip if the Santa Cruz Wharf with 1/3 of the way down the big drop on the roller coaster and hit the reef every time.  Yeah its a ways off shore but when we dove it on scuba it was like diving in a fish market.  Lings on the Bottom and tons of rockfish swimming in the column above it. Very spooky diving as you knew you were in the man in the grey suit's feeding zone late October before the winter swells you could have great visibility other times it was black as night.
never met a Dry Fly I didn't like
