Sat -Santa Cruz Report

Out at sunrise again this morn.  Missed you Scallen.  Scattered bait and birds from the harbor to 40 feet.  Spent most of the day S of the mile bouy targeting rockfish, 60 to 70 feet.  Water temp 57 to 58!  The fish were hugging the bottom again.

Scratched up seven and one keeper lincod.  Mixed bag - three vermillions, one copper, two golphers and a bolina.  Threw back another canary.  Must have caught eight lingcod on swim baits from 14" to 23."  went in at 11:00, never saw the wind.  The weather was beautiful.  Thanks for looking.

niiiiice dude!!

Nice mess'o fish witness.

I had a family thing come up, hope to make it out tomorrow or during the week....

WTG!

Allen

Nice catch!

I'm still wrestling with the concept of color matters so can you humor me and let me know what color swimbait worked?

Thanks and tight lines~!

  Hey Allen I think Al (Alshobieoutback) is planning a Sunday outting in SC. Ya might get a hook up with him tomorrow!

nice haul.  Those baby lings are cute.  Cant wait till they get large enough to eat!

thx for the report and pics.  It's nice to see a full game clip, especially having just returned from paradise skunked.
there were almost 30 kayakers, and ONE halibut by James.

Yikes!  Nice stringer you got there.  Makes me jealous here

Nice stringer!  Thanks for the report and pictures witness.

Nice mess of fish!!

You did a heck of a lot better than I did over on the Capitola side!!!

Congrats on a productive day, and thank you for sharing!!
 
Sincerely,

Jim

That really shows the value of a fish-finder. I think that is number one on my list now. Great haul. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome haul there witness.

you could easily capsize a yak with a full stringer like what you have

I dont know, my fishfinder can show fish all over the place and yet I cant buy a bite.  Then other times I see nothing but get hit a lot.  Probably operator error!

I think you had the best day I have ever heard of in SC!    Great report, and congrads on the catch!!!
