Capitola 7/3/09

Took a client out from the wharf today.  From Ohio....

chris was a good paddler and a good fisherman.  We jigged up nice mackerel and stuck these two in 36 FOW.

Oh yeah, 22 and 9 pounds respectively.

Awesome conditions all morning and a great guy to fish with.

Wowowwowow, way to put a man on a halibut.  Looks like it may be time for me to travel down there.  Whats the water temps like right now Allen?   

22 pounder - nice one!  You're the halibut master of late.   

Allen,

Nice fish!  Saw a good pic of you guys on the capitola pier fishing report as well:

Were there a lot of PBs out there? I was uncertain about heading to SC this weekend with Bayside's derby.

Very nice Allen. You are just a magnet with those huge halibut. Congrats to you
and your client.

Wow! at the fish and the conditions. 

No beard for you this year, huh Allen? 

Good job Allen!... Nice work on the Oneill's flatty. I've gotta say that this has been the best year locally for halibut in 5 or 6 years. The sheer numbers keep on coming in. The restricted commercial fishing regs are starting to show their positive results. I've got over 15 flatties so far this year, with the biggest being 16 lbs, and most being under 8, with most of them coming from the Capitola area and a few off the West Side. Haven't been out in the past few days due but the water looked awesome this morning. Probably gonna hit it again after this weekends madness. 

 You sure you didn't have that big sur fish stuffed for photo ops???


             Way to go, your mojo is working just fine!!!

Another nice fish for the man. I swear u just look at the water and the fish float to the surface. Nice chattin with ya at the end of day. So was that you lanchin at the wharf dock. That was me who pulled up at the doc for a quick minute. I had for got to put water in my pool noodle transducer. I was half asleep, dindnt realize that was you till i saw the warf pics, or maybe it wasnt you? Anyway nice catch. Only a few chomped bait fish for me, it was beautiful out there though. 

yah it was me, I was busy, i looked again and you were gone, meant to say i though I didn't know it wa you in your new boat...sorry.

algie, yes lots of PB's but all on the drift so no conflicts.  Brendan, I need to get out more...LOL

.........later that same day Solsurf Mike happened to show up just at the right time, and here's my AOTY measure pic, that makes 2 fish I've measured for AOTY now haha.

Thanks guys get down here and go for it it is ON!!!!  All weekend the wind is supposed to stay down and tides are mild. Bait all over....

Thanks for the kudos.

Allen

No worries allen, i didnt realize it was you till i saw u again end of day, plus you had a client. Biz is biz! Thats the new boat man! Had a great day either way.

Nice plate of fish. 

NICE!!!!!!!

I think the food pic trend is great.

WTG Allen!

I saw you leaving UCSC the other day. I tried to wave but it looked like you were busy pulling a monster halibut from the asphalt on High St.

"Way To Go Allen", you are my man!
