Santa Cruz 10/2 BIG Butt on FIRST Drop!

Have tried and tried to catch a halibut in Monterey, and have really enjoyed fishing there the last four outings, but still haven't gotten a halibut.  With crabbing coming up soon and the cooler weather, days are running short to get a butt.  Think I'll give SC a shot on Saturday, and try trolling for them.  Weather so far looking pretty good far for this weekend, and decent tides.

This just got me thinking about the sporty days ahead when the SC harbor becomes shoaled Looks like the swell should continue to drop over the weekend. I'm going to make a charge for halibut on Tuesday 

It does look like conditions should be good this weekend--tides are especially favorable. I'm hoping to go out on Friday, and if so, I'll post a report.

Hi Marc,
Can you keep eyes on the mackerels and let me know?  I am planning to take my kids out for Mac.

thanks

I don't usually sabiki or fish bait, but I'll let you know if I should happen to run across any mackerel.

Right now, conditions look incredible on the webcams...

Try no less than 5 times to get a SC/Capitola Halibut yet no luck . Seeing other yakers hooked up good hali onsite gives me hopes to keep fishing
