Monterey bay report 5/6/23

There’s a ton of squid by cannery row. I jigged up around 100 (mostly for the freezer) in a little over a hour. Squid was most abundant in 85-100ft but I didn’t look any deeper. I Paddled around that area after that for a good 20 minutes looking for seabass swimming through it but didn’t mark any. Probably too cold still. Fished the usual spots that a YouTuber has now made famous 😒😒😒  and got a dozen or so lingcod, all safely released, and 3 halibut. Biggest around 34-36” nothing crazy. First picture is squid on the fish finder. THICK

God damn, killed it! 

Right place right time!

Wow… congrats 🤙

Impressive!

You did it again buddy 

Will be dreaming of squid tonight
