This Sunday, the forecast shows a window of nice conditions out there, even a little warm, but I'm on the fence about heading out. We had the big swells come through this week and you can see on weather radar that there's another storm out in the Pacific heading this way.

It's always nice to get out but it would also be nice to know if the weather pushed halibuts and rockfish and such out of the cosmopolitan shallows in Santa Cruz.

Anyone have experience or theories on fishing between storms in November and how it might affect the bite? Of course, the only way to know for certain is to get out there.

Sunday does look nice. If the wind forecast improves (as in more wind), I'll definitely be out on my AI.

Wrt fishing, Bayside only mentions deep water RF, which is not a good sign.

Anyways, I'll be interested to see what others have to say, as my experience is limited, especially the past few years. But, based on my (limited) experience, the late-season in Santa Cruz is a time when halibut go into hibernation mode, storm or no storm. On the other hand, sharks (not the dangerous kind) sometimes seem to be fairly common. So, if you want a lengthy tug-of-war with an inedible shark, that might be an option...
