Again we ran across the bay where the fish are, and plugged the boat with 6 Limits of beautiful Olives, Blues, Blacks and Brown Cod. With one nice Ling. The winds were up a bit and it was hard to drift the bottom for more Lings. The conditions sometimes dictate how close we fish to the bottom. The rocks are so steep on the bottom, there's a lot of down time re-tying rigs. So rule number one is don't drag the bottom, unless your fishing for Halibuts. I Have days available in the near future, so give ma a call. Business - 831-465-0639, or give me a call on the boat. 831-212-1832. Another fantastic fishing trip on the bay. It was a great start, puting in two keeper lings off the bat, and it just got better. Our Six anglers put in limits of beautiful Olives, Blues, Reds and three Ling Cod. The weather was a bit lumpy in the morning, but laid down and made for a georgous flat calm ride home. The weather looks great for the next few days, so lets wreck um. - Wed Jul 2 18:29:51 2008 I have two anglers for Saturday the 28th looking for one to four more people to help fill the boat. If your interested call my office phone 831-465-0639, or my cell at 831-212-1832. The weather looks good, and the fishing has been great. Give me a call. - Thu Jun 26 17:01:17 2008 Yesterday was a great day of fishing. We put in 6 limits of Olive, Blue, and Brown Cod early. The conditions were a little lumpy in the morning, but laid down nicely by late morning. Conditions look good for the future. Lets go fish. - Thu Jun 26 10:30:53 2008 Tne fishing on the north side of the bay is starting to pick up. Calm seas, and small swells makes for good fishing. If the seas stay down, and the currents slow, it looks good for all the Halibut holes. We need a change. I'll be hunting all week. Bob, I'll be giving you and Dave a call. Wish me luck. - Sun Jun 15 0:55:42 2008 checking my report page. - Sun Jun 15 0:01:12 2008 Today was not the best of conditions. We couldn't get more than 3 or 4 miles up the coast. The currents were running uphill, and the winds were blowing down hill. Extremely hard to stay on any fish. We did manage to get near limits for our 5 anglers. But by noon the winds and waves were to much. There are gale force winds up and down the coast. It was one of those days you always had to have three point contacts. - Fri Jun 6 17:55:14 2008 Just had an update. I have two people looking for a couple more to help fill the boat on June 7. If you want to hop aboard let me know. I'll be out tomorrow, and let you know how things went. If you want the spaces, or want to know how were doing, call me on my cell at sea, 831-212-1832, for an on the water fish report. Call me. - Thu Jun 5 22:37:57 2008 I have some Tuna junkie customers, as I am, that are starting to make enquiries. Nobody is more excited than I am and when I think the time is right, nothing can hold me back, even if I have to take the boat out myself. I will let you know when I think the time is right. If you want to get on the boat to make a run offshore with me, let me know. - Thu Jun 5 20:13:43 2008 Finally the local fishing is starting to pick. My sister ship, Captainjimmycharters, has put in limits of Rock Fish the last two days, with a couple of Lings in the mix. No need to run across the bay. Give us a call. 831-475-2173 - Tue Jun 3 20:16:17 2008 My fishing reports are starting to sound like repeats. Today was another georgous flat day on the water. Our 6 passengers boated limits of Reds, Olives, Blues, Browns, White bellies, and one Ling Cod. On the way across the bay we ran into a pod of Orcas, which was a treat. Plus a couple of Whales and Dolphins. Also checking the water surface temperatures off shore it starting to look good for Tuna. Things are looking up. Give me a call, lets go fishing. - Wed May 28 18:41:43 2008 I've been keeping an eye on the water temps offshore, and they have shot up over 5 degrees in the last two days. And in some places even more. This is a big surge from the Japanese currents offshore, which bring in offshore tuna. I'm pretty excided, and may make a run out. With the fuel prices the way they are, I would love to have some offshore anglers on aboard to do some hunting with me. Let me know. - Tue May 27 21:51:44 2008 Wow what a wonderful day at sea. We left Santa Cruz to run across the bay again, and had fabulous action on flat calm seas. We boated early limits of BIG Reds and Olives, plus Blues and Starries to fill in the gaps. If the local officials knew how much fun we were having they would probably arrest us. It was one of those days. We even had about a 20# Salmon follow our rock cod to the boat. - Mon May 26 17:28:35 2008 Today we had early limits for 4 anglers. The Santa Cruz side of the bay is still slow, so we ran across to Monterey, and had good action right away. We put in early limits of Vermillion, Big Olives, Blues, and Starries with a couple of short lings. The weather was great, and I'm suprised there weren't more boaters out. There's live bait available in the harbor at Bocci Boys receiver, which we caught most of our fish on. The weather looks good for the next few days, so lets go fishing. - Sat May 24 17:27:55 2008 I'm sorry on my last report I gave the wrong number. Its 465-0639. - Fri May 23 21:00:26 2008 Have a charter tomorrow with only 2 anglers after a group canceled. I'm going fishing regardless, just to get on the water and fish. Looking for a couple more to help fill the boat. I'm running to Franklin Point for Rock Cod and Halibut. Let me know if you want to fish with us. 831-475-2173. We leave at 7:00 a.m. - Fri May 23 20:54:21 2008 I've got a couple of avid fishermen, looking to share the boat on May 15. We're looking for a couple more to help fill the boat. I don't mind running the extra miles to make it happen. Lets make it happen. Call me. 831-465-0639. - Mon May 12 23:20:50 2008 Again today we ran across the bay to some pretty good action. The seas were nice in the morning, and pretty much nice all day on the Monterey side of the bay, until we got about 5 miles out of Santa Cruz. We had the Olives chasing our Mega Baits to the boat with a little chum. We had limits of Rock Cod, mostly Olives, with only one big Red, and four nice lings. If you ever get into the Olive Cod, there a gas on Mega baits on the surface. Hopefully things pick up on the Santa Cruz side. - Sun May 4 19:14:55 2008 After a slow start on the Santa Cruz side of the bay for Rock Cod, and Lings, we shot over to the Monterey side and got good action. Mostly Reds, with Olives, Blues, White Bellies, Starries, and Lings in the mix. It was a little lumpy in the morning, but the high pressure moved in and laid it down nicely. I don't mind running the extra miles. My job is to put fish on the boat. Lets go fishing. - Fri May 2 18:12:11 2008 Well finally we get to get out on the water. May 1st is the opener for Lings, Rock Cod and maybe some Halibut. There's a lot of bait in the bay. And hopefully lots of fish. We'll be fishing for Rocks abd Halibut on the opener. I'll be fishing hard. - Tue Apr 29 0:06:44 2008 Although Salmon has been shut down, were looking forward to a great Rock Cod, Ling Cod and Halibut fisherie starting May 1st. Also I'll be hunting for Stripers, and Halibut on the beaches. Wish me luck. - Mon Apr 7 0:41:40 2008 I'm sorry to inform my customers. that I've got an e-mail from Fish and Game, that there will be no opener for Salmon. There are some options on the books to maybe open a few days, but don't hold your breath. The returns up the rivers have been so low, the first reaction is to shut down all Salmon fishing. But the reason has not been posted. - Tue Mar 25 23:33:49 2008 Salmon season opens on April 5th. I have a couple of people booked for the opener, but are looking for a few more to help fill the boat. The more baits in the water the better. Give me a call if your interested, 831-465-0639. - Fri Mar 7 17:28:17 2008 Good news. Department of Fish and Game sent me an e-mail notifying us that Salmon season will open on April 5th. We don't know for sure how long it will stay open, so lets get out there and get some Salmon early. I'm taking bookings now for the upcoming season. Give me a call at 831-465-0639. - Mon Feb 11 11:43:28 2008 The storms of late have been some of the heavies. With hurricane force winds in some areas. This may be a good thing in the long run. Last year we had few storms and rain, with patchy Salmon fishing. This weather pattern is getting back to more of the norm. I'm hoping it pushes more Salmon down our area. I'm taking bookings for the new year, hopefully starting the first weekend of April. Give me a call, to reserve your prefered date. - Thu Jan 10 0:23:34 2008 Today weather conditions were good most of the day. In the morning we picked up 8 Dungenous Crab, then put in 30 Rock Cod, and 4 Lings for our 5 anglers, and had to release 4 more. The winds picked up in the afternoon. - Sat Nov 17 19:14:30 2007 Today we ran up to Franklin Point, looking for Rock Cod and Lings. The Rock were scarce but the Lings were on fire. We put in Limits of Ling Cod to 18lbs for our 5 passengers. Plus half limits of Black Cod. Live Sardines were the ticket, the lings were eating them like popcorn. The seas were windy with rain in the morning, then by 10:00 it laid flat. I'll be there again tomorrow. - Fri Nov 9 19:21:43 2007 Well I have officially pulled the plug on fishing for more Tuna. We covered about a hundred miles of water, and put in one 25lb Tuna today. It makes for a long boat ride. And my job is to put fish in the boat, not take customers for boat rides. We're concentrating now on Crab and Cod combos. The Cod season ends at the end of the month, so if your interested, give me a call 831-465-0639. Also feel free to call me on the boat at 831-212-1832. - Thu Nov 8 20:40:30 2007 It seems a little late in the season, but the Japan warm curents are still pushing fresh Tuna into the Bay. The numbers are picking up daily. I'm looking forward to going offshore Thursday, hopefully with a load of bait. Kahuna, and other sport fishers are headed out. - Tue Nov 6 17:17:48 2007 It looks like some fresh Tuna have moved into the bay. This may be our last shot. Lets take advantage of our blessing. I'll be running Thursday, unless i get a booking sooner. Lets go get um. - Tue Nov 6 17:07:15 2007 Time to put some crab and cod in the boat. Book now. - Tue Oct 30 19:22:13 2007 A perfect day on the ocean. Light winds with wide open rock cod bite. We put in limits of Reds, Blacks, Blues and Olives, with 4 Nice Lings to 15lbs. And to top off the day, we sat 10 feet from a 14ft Great White feeding on a big sea lion. It was awsome. We watched him feed for agout 15 minutes. The weather was perfect, with little swell. - Mon Oct 15 22:19:30 2007 The closures up north are mostly from ano nuevo and just north of the island, out to the red buoy. There are still a lot of good rock piles still available up the hill from Ano, plus one of my favorite Halibut drifts still open. If the currents and water conditions are right, we wreck um there. Also from Davenport down the hill is still open. Don't think all Rock Cod and Ling Cod areas are closed. There is still a lot of my favorite areas still open. I'm looking forward to the Crab opener, where we do combo trips for Crab and Ling and Rock Cod, and maybe some Halibut. I'm looking forward to eating some Dungenous Crab. Fall is some of the best water conditions in the area. Lets go wreck um. - Thu Oct 4 0:49:09 2007 Today we had a hollywood crew, and left the docks at 10:00. With dirty water, winds, jelly's, and crap in the water, we managed to put in limits of Rock Cod, and 4 Lings. To get some quality Cod, I think we have to move up to Davenport and above. - Mon Oct 1 19:32:22 2007 The Albacore fishing has been slow for us the last two days, with only 2 Tuna each day. I'll be gone until next Thursday. Need a little R & R. - Sun Sep 23 23:35:58 2007 Just a not to anglers. I'm only taking charters for people that want to book the boat, and put there own crew together. My phone is ringing off the hook for singles wanting to hop on the boat. You need to get at least a group of 4 to charter the boat. I can't do it. For Tuna I work a 12 hour day, and I just have enough time to answer e-males, eat some dinner, shower, and get ready for the next day. I hope you understand. I'm a one man operation. The Tuna fishing is the best I've seen in years. - Sun Sep 16 21:09:52 2007 Today the fishing was still great, but in rough seas. We powered through the nasty waters and got to the grounds. It didn't take long. We had a boat of good fishermen, and they ended the day with 42 Albies to 26lbs by noon. The fish were charging the boat. Bait presentation means everything. About 75 percent of our fish were on bait. - Sun Sep 16 20:03:22 2007 The Tuna fishing just keeps getting better and better. We were about 38 miles out of Santa Cruz when we put in our trolling gear. It took about 2 minutes to get a tripple hook up. We moved a little further out, hooked up and sat on a school of Tuna for about an hour and a half. We put in 40 Albies by 11:00. The fish were charging our baits, and wouldn't leave. Pluged the fish hold and a 160 ice chest. - Sat Sep 15 18:34:48 2007 Another georgous day offshore. I had a 3 man charter today that put in 28 Albies. The size wasn't what I wanted to see, but sometimes you get what you get. I'll be out again tomorrow. The weather update looks good thru Sunday at least. - Fri Sep 14 21:01:29 2007 What a fantastic day at sea. We left the docks at 5:00am, and were in the tuna by 7:30. We put in the troll lures and didn't go 5 minutes and had a tripple. It all continued to get better after that. We saw so many jumpers, we would troll near them throwing baits, and they ran to the boat. We ended the day with 35 Albies to 27lbs. Most of our fish were in the low to upper 20's. I heard boats further up the hill catching fish, but small. The ocean was grease flat all day. We'll be out again tomorrow. - Sat Sep 8 20:50:22 2007 Just a note for tuna fishermen. We take advantage of the weather conditions when its right. All Tuna trips are at the mercy of the weather. So I keep a close eye on the weather. So if you book a date, it all depends on the conditions. Hopefully If we can't get offshore, you might opt for something inshore. Let me know when you try to book a trip. - Fri Sep 7 20:54:26 2007 The fishing near Santa Cruz has been so iffy, I decided to run to the Island. What a great decision. We put in limits of big Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks. Unfortunately no Lings. The seas were greese all day. The weather looks great offshore, and thats where we'll be tomorrow. Tuna, yea. - Fri Sep 7 20:24:59 2007 Today we had 2 anglers that charterd the boat. It wasn't easy, we had to work for fish to get limits. The currents were running fast up hill, and nothing was schooled up. We ended up with limits of rock fish, and 2 nice lings. There was a lot of ugly water, that looked like suege discharge. - Wed Sep 5 18:33:35 2007 Today we had 5 anglers on the boat, and put in 50 Rock fish, with 15 Vermillion to 8lbs. But only one Ling Cod. It was nice of the winds to hold off until we got our limits. We tried for Halibut inshore, with only one shorty. - Sun Sep 2 18:36:43 2007 We tried to go offshore for tuna saturday, only to get blown off the water. The weather the last week was so perfect, it let us load the boat with tuna. We were hoping the weather offshore was better, but it wasn't. The forcast looks bleek for the next week. Hopefully another high pressure will move into the area, leting us get out again. The fish are still there. - Sat Sep 1 18:59:42 2007 Another fantastic day offshore. On the pictures page you'll see 12 of the 23 Tuna Our six anglers put on the boat today. I was a little frustrated early having some greenhorns on the boat, but as the day went on they started getting the hang of it. There probably going to hear me in their sleep screaming, FOLLOW YOUR FISH. I estimate we lost another 15 fish to back lashes, slicing off fish, or just breaking off fish with too much drag. Thats fishing. There were so many Tuna at 50/52 where we started, and finished up at 49/48, I wanted to stop trolling and just bait fish on Jumpers and birds. - Sun Aug 26 20:19:45 2007 What a beautiful day on the water. Flat calm seas all day. And Glenn and his crew of 5 put in 26 Tuna to 35lbs. They were a pleasure to fish with. There weren't any jumpers or many birds, but we could meter the fish on the scope. We stoped short of the 601, at 57/57, and trolled towart the Guide, but never had to go that far. Most of our fish were caught at 58/04. The seas were calm yesterday also, which gave us a direction to head. We'll be out again tomorrow. - Sat Aug 25 21:07:27 2007 Finally the winds have laid down so we can do some hunting for Tuna. There were a few hard cores out today that I think might have passed them up. There's a strong surge of hot water pushing up from the south, and I hope to intersept it tomorrow. I see no need to run past 50 miles. Becuse of the Satellite overcast, we have no SST picture, so its back to old school. Actually I like the hunt. If it works your a star, if it doesn't, your a bum. - Fri Aug 24 21:18:18 2007 Today we ran to Ano Nuevo. I had a boat of great fishermen, that actually brought all the own gear and artificial baits. I estimate they lost over a hundred bucks of gear on the rocks. But what a gas. They didn't want to keep any of the smaller fish like Blues and Blacks, so we put on big baits for big fish. Caught 4 limits of Lings to 16lbs, with a nice box of Reds. Allen Sansano is always a pleasure to fish with, plus we had Allen Bushnell and his crew. I appologise not remembering there names, so I blame it on old age. - Sat Aug 18 19:39:38 2007 Today we had 4 anglers on the boat from Belfast Ireland. What a fantastic group of agressive anglers. One was a Silver medal winner on the european tour of boxing. But that didn't make them great anglers. But they put in early limits of Vermillion, Olives, Blues and blacks to 13lbs. Plus one nice ling to 12lbs. Some of the nicest fisherpersons I've had on the boat. - Fri Aug 17 18:51:00 2007 Today wasn't the most easy day fishing. The winds blew hard, but we managed to beat our way up to Ano, to put in 6 limits of Olives, Blues, Blacks, China Cod, and 4 nice lings. The forcast looks like wind for most of the week, but that can change. Trying for Tuna in winds like today is out of the question. Safety is always number one. - Sun Aug 12 18:47:50 2007 The weather today was pretty sloppy, but we still managed to put in limits of Rock Cod, and a couple of Lings for our customers. Reds, Blues, Blacks, and Olives were abundent. I hope that Ano Nuevo weather stays fishable. I would love to run there tomorrow. - Sat Aug 11 19:34:34 2007 Today we ran to Ano Nuevo and put in limits of Olives, Blues, and Blacks, plus 7 Ling Cod to 17lbs for our 6 anglers. The weather was great in the morning, but the winds picked up in the afternoon. Fortunately we were done before they kicked in. There may not be much more time to fish the island, so I'm taking advantage of the last few days. I love that place. Its a crying shame there closing it. Sport fishing there has no adverse effect what so ever. I don't want to get started on that. So I'll leave on a happy note. We had three kids on the boat that were having the time of there life. I hate to see that vanish. Its a god given right to take your kids on the ocean to spend quality time and show them the endless mass of life at sea. - Fri Aug 10 18:10:02 2007 Today we powered our way up to the island, and in windy conditions managed to put in limits of Blacks, Blues, Vermillion, Olives and 4 Ling Cod for our four anglers. The weather forcast is for 15 to 25kts of wind for the next couple of days. That makes it hard to try for Tuna. - Sat Aug 4 18:14:54 2007 Today the weather was great so I ran our 5 anglers to Ano. It was like the old days again. Limits of Big Blues, Blacks, Reds and olives, with 7 Lings to 15lbs. There was only one other boat there besides me. The winds did start pucking up a bit by noon, but we were done by then. - Fri Aug 3 18:32:28 2007 What a beautiful day offshore. The winds never picked up over 5kts, and the fishing was good. We put in 15 Albacore to 30lbs, and one Yellow Tail. On one bait stop we put in 9 Albies on bait. Having good anglers on the boat we didn't lose any fish to tangles. Well maybe one. Check our pictures page to see six of our Tuna and the Yellow Tail. - Wed Aug 1 20:25:49 2007 Just waned to post available bookings I have for the 29th and 30th. Everybody wanted to go offshore for Tuna, but the winds continue to blow. Inshore in the bay and a ways up the coast are fine. So if your looking to go Rock Cod, Ling Cod, or Halibut fishing in the next couple of days, I'm open. It is pretty frustating know this is some of the best Tuna waters we've seen for the last couple of years, and the winds won't let us enjoy. Hopefully things offshore will change soon. - Sat Jul 28 18:11:33 2007 The winds have been a problem for the last couple of days. Today we put in just short of limits for our guys. It's hard to stay on the rocks with the drift so fast. The Tuna are offshore, and its driving us nuts not being able to get out there. In rough seas we can't make a good bate presentation, plus our troll lines keep tangling. The weather reports don't look good through the weekend. So were fishing inshore. - Tue Jul 24 20:24:30 2007 Today we ran up the coast before the winds picked up. We put in 4 ea4ly limits for our anglers, plus one big Ling, and a 15lb Halibut. - Sun Jul 22 19:35:13 2007 Today the winds were up in the morning offshore, so we opted for Rock Cod. Stayed local today loaded the boat, then tried for Halibut, but nothing. I heard of very few Halibut caught all day. The winds were blowing outside all day, and the counts were small. Most boats had from 3 to 6 Tuna. Thats a lot of down time between bites. The weather forcast for the upcoming week doesn't look good. - Sat Jul 21 18:28:37 2007 Today we stayed inshore, finding nice Rock Cod close to home. We put in limits of big Olives, Reds, and big Blues for our anglers early. Then tried for some Halibut in the afternoon to no availe. - Fri Jul 20 18:21:54 2007 What a fantastic day on the ocean. Today we ran out about 35 miles on flat calm seas all day, and put in 17 Albacore up to 27lbs. All our fish were in the 20's. Doubles, triples and a few on live bait. It doesn't get any better. Tomorrow is forcasted to about the same. - Tue Jul 17 22:21:51 2007 Today we fished local to put in limits of nice Reds, Blues, olives and one nice ling. The weather was fantastic, and heard of a few Halibut being cautht. The Salmon fishing was good if your looking for Silvers. - Sun Jul 15 19:10:46 2007 Today was a little challenging on the water. With windy seas its hard to make a good bait presention. But being persistant, we put in 3 Tuna on the troll, then moved south where the fish were more eager to eat our baits. We fished off Carmel later in the day to hook up 2 more fish on the troll and put in 4 more on live baits, ending our day with 10 Albies. Light tackle is where its at. There's nothing like feeling a tuna pick up your bait. The winds are forcasted to continue thru tomorrow. - Sat Jul 14 20:51:40 2007 I just got back from up north, and all the way home my phone was ringing off the hook. My good friend Willy on the Danali II, left the Salmon grounds near Moss Landing the day after we put in 10 Salmon, but it seemed to die. He ran offshore not more than 10 miles past the weather buoy, and found piles of Tuna. Called in another boat, puting in 17 Tuna. The Tuna are out there, and it all depends if the weather will let us get there or not. - Thu Jul 12 18:18:52 2007 Finally the Salmon fishing started picking up today. We had 5 anglers on the boat and put in 10 King Salmon by 11:30. There's quite a few small fish in the mix, so you have to sort thru them. We fished near Moss Landing. - Tue Jul 10 18:03:36 2007 Today we had a nice variety of Reds, Blue, and Brownies. But the best catch of the day by far was a 43lb Halibut. What a slug. We tried for Salmon in the morning, but no takers. I only heard of 2 Salmon caught all day, down by Pajaro. - Wed Jul 4 23:06:22 2007 Today we ran to Ano and put in limits of lings to 18lbs, 8 Vermillion, and finished off our limits with nice Blacks, Blues and Cabazon. The weather was a little lumpy on the way up, making it hard to stay on the Rocks. But, using the drift to our advantage, covered a lot of ground. - Mon Jul 2 20:22:10 2007 The fishing for Salmon was slow today. The winds came up early making it difficult. There were a few Halibut caught in front of the harbor. Hopefully the winds will lay down soon. I have 2 people looking for a couple more for Monday July 1st. Give me a call. - Sat Jun 30 22:21:30 2007 Today the seas were a little lumpy, but the fish didn't care. We fished for Rock Cod today, and put in limits of beautiful Olives, Reds, Blues and White belly's. We fished off Monterey in about 200ft of water, and had limits by 10:00. - Sat Jun 23 16:44:46 2007 The fishing for Salmon today started of great puting in our first 20 pounder in about 5 minutes after we put in our gear. We boated our second fish about 20 minutes after that, then it shut off like a switch. For a couple of hours we had no takers, then put in our third fish around noon. The bite seems to best in the morning. We ended the day with 3 Salmon. - Fri Jun 15 18:54:05 2007 Checking in with the local boats on my dock today, Salmon fishing was fantastic. My dock partner, willy, put in 4 Salmon to 29lbs cleaned for two anglers today. And back at the docks by 10:00 am. Thats great fishing. Willy doesn't like following the fleet, like myself. The fish are moving, so no reason to follow the sheep. I think the tip of the hole might be good tomorrow. - Thu Jun 14 22:22:31 2007 I've had a cancellation on the books for Sunday the 17th. I've got a couple of anglers, wanting to fish that date, but need a couple more to help fill the boat. I know its fathers day, but after all, it is your day. Cowboy up dad, and lets go fishing. Let me know. - Thu Jun 14 16:48:37 2007 The bite was early today. We put in 5 Salmon by 9:00am, then the bite slowed. We had a few more take downs around noon, but no solid takers. The fish ranged from 10 to 17lbs. The swell was up some today, but the winds held off. It looks like the fish are scattering. Concentrations of bait were hard to find. - Mon Jun 11 22:19:26 2007 Well I was right. Some new schools of Salmon have moved into the bay. We started the day fishing Rock Cod, and put in limits by 10:00. Then moved over in front of Mulligans, to put in 2 nice Salmon to 38lbs. What a nice hog. We lost 4 more at the boat, or just came unbuttoned. I'll be starting there first thing in the morning. - Sun Jun 10 20:21:06 2007 I just wanted to add a thank you note to everyone sending me mail with best wishes for pops. I don't know how to thank you enough. He was a stuburn man, and kicked my ass regular. Now I love him for it. - Sat Jun 9 20:22:44 2007 Today we ran across the bay to put in quality Rock Cod. Beautiful Olives to 5lbs. Reds to 4lbs and numerous other Cod. The Monterey side of the bay is holding nice cod. The Salmon were scarce, but it looks like there might be some new fish moving into the bay. We'll be fishing Mulligans for Salmon tomorrow. - Sat Jun 9 18:52:58 2007 I appoligize to everyone trying to book a trip to go fishing. The last week I've been in Chico taking care of pops. He's not doing well. And family always takes priority. I'll be back up north on Monday thru Thursday. Then its back to catching fish. But for now, I have to take care of family. I'm sure you understand. - Sun Jun 3 18:16:36 2007 Today we fished for rock cod in the morning, puting limits for my four anglers, then went outside in about 240ft of water to put in three nice Salmon to 31lbs. All the fish aren't in deep water. Steve, Jeff, and Dinamo Dan, are always a pleasure. - Sun May 27 20:14:05 2007 The Salmon again was great. It started of a little slow in the morning, puting in one fish early, then had a slow period until about noon. We moved up the hill and found birds and miles of bait. Fishing the edges we put in 4 more Salmon in about an hour. All slugs. Our fished ranged from 20 to 30.4lbs. Again the weather held off nicely. We trolled straight baits all day. - Sat May 26 19:43:03 2007 I would just like to add a simple update. Don't get to complicated. We caught all our fish on straigt baits. No flashers, and no iron. Keep it simple. If you know how to rig a tandom hook straight bait, you'll catch all the fish you want. - Fri May 25 20:11:38 2007 Another georgous day on the water. Our 5 anglers put in 6 nice kings, from 15 to 30lbs. Lost another 4 from tangles or just came unbuttoned. The weather people were misleading again. The waters were perfect all day. I've heard reports from other boats around the bay that were getting scores also. Today we fished the upper side of the Soquel Hole, but the fish seemed to be on the move in the afternoon. So no telling where they'll be tomorrow. The quality of fish is beautiful. - Fri May 25 19:28:01 2007 Today ended up being great. The weather was perfect all day. We had to do a little hunting to find the fish, but when we did, they were slugs. We ended the day with 5 Salmon, the smallest was 20lbs, and the giggest weighed in at 32lbs for our four anglers. Dave and his crew were great as always. - Thu May 24 20:45:29 2007 Today we started off our fishing trip looking for Salmon. After puting in our gear, we put in a double hook up right away. Thinking it was going to be good, that was our only Salmon bites all day. We fished the tip of Soquel. - Wed May 23 20:26:55 2007 Today we had early limits of Rock Cod and some nice Lings. Mostly reds, with 4 lings to 12lbs, for our 4 anglers. The winds held off until after noon. - Mon May 21 1:08:28 2007 The weather today was great until about 11:00, but by then we had our limits of big Reds,Olives,Brown and Blue Rock Cod, with one shy of limits of Lings to 15lbs, for our four anglers, up to 15lbs. The Salmon bite is slow. I only heard of a couple of Salmon caught all day. There may be salmon up the hill, but the weather conditions don't let us do much hunting. Hopefully the high presure off shore will move in, and let us do more scouting. - Sat May 19 19:05:45 2007 As a charter boat captain, my job is to try my best to put as many fish on the boat I can. The few Halibut being caught in front of the harbor, dosn't constitute counts of fish for my passeners. we need more. Today we covered miles of water to try and find Salmon, but they are scarce. We did however end up on a pile of fish a few miles out of Santa Cruz around noon to put in a load of Rocks and Lings. - Fri May 18 18:41:19 2007 Today we started fishing the outer South Rock in about 107ft. The Vermillions were hanging big. We put in 40 Cod and 30 were big Reds. Then the winds picked up and we couldn't stay on the rock.Try'd for flaties later in the day to no avail. - Tue May 15 20:16:42 2007 Today was a great day on the water Our 4 anglers put in 7 Salmon. 5 weithing in over 20lbs, with the largest, 24lbs. Adam and his crew were a pleasure to fish with. The seas were a little bumpy up the hill, but very fishable. - Fri May 11 21:09:38 2007 Today we fished up the hill out of Santa Cruz for Rock Cod and lings. We ended the day with limits of big Olives, blues, blacks and vermillion. With the biggest Red weighing in at 12lbs, with 5 nice Lings. Check the picture page for a look. Tomorrow we'll be going to the same area. - Wed May 9 20:38:09 2007 Today our 6 anglers put in limits of assorted Rock Cod With 4 nice Lings to 15lbs. It was t-shirt weather with flat seas all day. We fished the Monterey side of the bay. On the way home, we ran into Red Tides running out to the canyon. Tomorrow we're going to the island to see whats up. And if the rocks aren't biting, we'll go outside to look for Salmon. - Tue May 8 19:38:04 2007 Today fishing slowed a bit, but we managed to put in 4 Salmon, for our 4 anglers. The fish were a little more spread out, and had to do some hunting. The water was calm most of the day, with light winds in the afternoon. We fished Soquel Hole. - Sat Apr 28 19:05:29 2007 The big fish are here. Today we put in 4 salmon to 26lbs, and other boats, had some fish to 30lbs. We had plenty of hookups, but lost 4 solid hook sets. Barbless hooks are a night mare. We'll be out again tomorrow. - Fri Apr 27 20:58:00 2007 Today we had two anglers that chartered the hole boat. We ended up with limits for them, and one for the skipper. A total of 5 nice Kings to 26lbs. The weather held off nice until after noon. We fished the east side of Soquel Hole. Nice to see the fish moving closer to Santa Cruz. - Tue Apr 24 19:40:42 2007 Today the waters on the bay were calm. We started of fishing near Moss Landing, but no fish. We moved to Pt. Penos, and put in 4 Salmon to 22lbs, and lost two at the boat, and two more we never saw. The bite came on strong around 1:00, and shut down for us by 2. The conditions look to be good for tomorrow. - Sat Apr 21 20:42:28 2007 Just an update for Monday the 23rd. I had a charter that had to cancel. So I have an open boat charter going out on Monday the 23rd. If I can't get any takers, I'm going myself. The fishing is getting that good. Give me a call at 831-465-0639 if your available. Lets go fish. - Thu Apr 19 18:36:30 2007 Finally the winds laid down today, and the fishing is getting better every day. Most of my friends that went out today, had limits before noon, with some fish over the 30# range. Conditions are supposed to hold nice thru the weekend. Can't wait to get out tomorrow. - Thu Apr 19 18:24:20 2007 Today we had some rain, but the winds didn't start picking up until after we got in a full day. We ended up with 6 nice Salmon to 24lbs, for our 5 passengers. We had to cancel our trip for tomorrow. the winds are supposed to howl. - Sat Apr 14 19:13:51 2007 The fishing is starting to pick up a bit. But they seem to be concentrated in a small are off Monterey. Hopefully some new bait and fish will start moving into the bay soon. We picked up 3 Kings today from 15 to 25lbs, and lost 3 more at the boat. Nice fish. The weather is predicted to be good for tomorrow. - Fri Apr 13 21:11:01 2007 Sorry for the lack of a fishing report yesterday. But I had a problem with my computer. But all is well now. The overall Salmon fishing is not what what we expected for the opener, but there's still some nice Salmon being caught. Because the normal hot spots are not producing, were having to do some hunting. I LOVE THE HUNT. After 35 years fishing the Monterey Bay area, sometimes I have to think outside the norm. I think the larger schools are further offshore. So tomorrow I'm not waisting my time in the bay to catch dinks, but rather move off shore a bit. I did some set and drift calcs, to see how fast the currents are moving, and what direction. Hopefully, I can intercept their movement. - Sun Apr 8 20:08:23 2007 The reports continue to be good for the opener. Still lots of bait, with fish balling them up. From Soquel hole to the soldiers club looks good. Chlorophil levels are holding to keep the bait local. I love to start off mooching when the fish are holding in large schools, but if they scatter, we put out the troll rigs. Catching fish is the name of the game. Lets go fishing. - Mon Apr 2 22:19:01 2007 The conditions in the bay look great. Running for a crab trip, the bait was thick, birds pounding everywhere, the clorophil levels are perfect, and the water temp is right. And a few reports of anglers fishing for Mackerel and Sand Dabs are picking up accidental Salmon. I'm starting to get excited about the opener. Looks like it might be a good one. - Thu Mar 22 19:36:37 2007 What a nice surprise on the bay today. After we finished pulling our crab pots, we saw a lot of birds working on the surface. We started throwing Mega Baits, and Fish Traps, and pulled in 10 nice Barracuda to 4ft long. These normally don't start showing until later in the season. There a lot of fun. Also the crabs are still going good. - Tue Mar 13 17:50:36 2007 Date: Thursdsay, March 1, 2007 at 12:42:43 Comments: Salmon season is just over a month away. The conditions look good with lots of bait in the bay, and were hoping for a great opener. Were still doing Crab trips now with good counts. If the Humbolt Squid show on our side of the bay, we also run for those. Rock Cod and Ling Cod season opens on May 1st, and were going to combo Crab and Rock trips then. Give me a call and lets get out on the water. Date: Monday, February 12, 2007 at 19:42:43 Well Fish and Game has extended our Rock Cod season this year, but shortened our Salmon season by 6 days. The opener for Salmon will be April 7th, and Rock Cod opens May 1st. I'm already getting bookings for the Salmon opener. To get the dates you want, call early. Date: Friday, October 27, 2006 at 19:46:18 The Rock Cod fishing continues to be great at the Island. With limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks, with big Lings and a few Cabazone. The sport boats are still picking up good scores of Tuna off shore. The soft warm weaters are holding some nice counts. After a Saturday Rock Cod trip, I'm taking the boat outside. I want to find these Tuna, and hopefully plug the boat. If there's anyone that wants to take the run, give me a call. 465-0639 Date: Thursday, October 19, 2006 at 19:42:43 Comments: The waters off the Dog Bone look to good to pass up. We're running offshore for Tuna tomorrow. I have a boat of good fishermen. If there there, we'll put in the mileage to find them. I have hi hopes. We'll be leaving the docks by 6. Date: Monday, October 16, 2006 at 20:37:09 Comments: The fishing at the Island was some of the best I've seen. The Lings were thick. We had limits of nice lings before we had limits of Rock Cod. This was due in part from the fantastic Sardines we had for bait. Sardines are Ling Candy. After we put in limits of Lings, we filled the boat with big Olives, Reds, Blues and Blacks. The quality of fish was big and many. Date: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 at 22:16:36 Comments: Today the fishing was great again. We ended up with limits of Blues, Blacks, Olives, and Vermillions. With 5 Ling Cod. The winds were out of the south which made for a little bumpy ride home. But no problem. We're starting to gear up for Crab and Rock combo trips come November. I can already taste the Crab. Date: Saturday, October 7, 2006 at 23:49:10 Comments: Another great day at the island. We boated limits of Reds, Blues, Blacks,and olives. With 5 lings to 15 lbs.The weather was great. Date: Saturday, September 30, 2006 at 23:41:28 Comments: The fishing at Ano Nuevo continues to be great. We boated limits of Vermillion, Olives, Blues, and Blacks, with 6 Lings to 18lbs for our charter today. The weather continues to be perfect. Date: Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 22:28:11 Comments: Today we tried some new waters for Tuna. We fished south of the Dog Bone, almost to Sur Canyon. All the signs were there, but no fish. We had great deep blue water, with temps of 60.5 to 61 degrees. We were hoping some of the fish in Morrow Bay were starting to move up the hill. But not yet. Date: Sunday, September 24, 2006 at 20:41:23 Comments: What a beautiful day on the water. We fished Ano today, with limits of Lings and Rock Fish, for our 5 anglers. The weather was exceptional, and the fish were biting. Lets hope it holds. The Tuna reports offshore were bleek. No Fish. Yesterday we coverded almost 200 miles of water to find no Tuna. I wish I had better news, but the truth is the truth. Date: Thursday, September 21, 2006 at 20:44:07 Comments: The currents were looking for are here. But the down side is the winds are here also. As soon as the winds lay up, we'll be balls to the wall for Tuna. I've got a freezer full of Salmon and Rock Cod, but my favorite is freshly caught, and bled and iced down Tuna. Sushi grade. The winds are supposed to lay up this weekend. Date: Monday, September 18, 2006 at 21:44:28 Comments: Today the seas were rough, but there's still fish in the area. We pounded through it to pick up 7 nice Albies to 25lbs. Let's hope the seas lay down soon. Date: Monday, September 18, 2006 at 21:31:05 Comments: The winds were heavy, but we managed to put in 7 Albies to 25lbs. It's hard do cover much ground in heavy winds. Date: Sunday, September 17, 2006 at 20:05:35 Comments: Today we ran to Ano Nuevo with our 6 passengers. We put in limits of Vermillion, Olives, Blues and Blacks, with 2 Cabazone and 6 Ling Cod to 15lbs. I could hear the boats outside fishing for Tuna, and the bites still on. Date: Monday, September 11, 2006 at 22:45:03 Comments: What a great day. The Tuna have finally arrived. On the charter pictures page you'll see a blood bath of nine tuna we picked up on a bait stop, plus capt. Jimmy holding a weighed 33 pounder. The bait and fish were jumping everywhere. We ended the day with 30 Tuna, mostly in the 20 pound class, with a few bigger fish on the inside of the 601 mount. Hopefully the weather will hold so we can take advantage of these new fish in town. Date: Sunday, September 10, 2006 at 19:23:34 Comments: The weather was perfect today, with limits of Lings for 5 and Limits of Beautiful Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks, with one Cabazone. BUT, better late than never, the good news is the Tuna are moving in and making a nice showing of numbers, with some nice size fish. I heard boats outside on the radio catching anywhere from 15 to 25 Tuna. Obviously I'll be running offshore tomorrow. Stay tuned. Date: Saturday, September 9, 2006 at 21:13:33 Comments: The fishing today was work. Currents have changed and we had to scout out our fish. We stopped at a few favorate Halibut spots I like to fish. We picked up one small But, then moved to the Island. Hoping to not make my reports sound redundent, as a fellow fisherman in the harbor mentioned, the bite has slowed a bit. I just try to tell it like it is daily. Thanks Nick. Date: Thursday, September 7, 2006 at 18:12:37 Comments: Today I took the bald headed computer nerd, that does all my website work, out fishing on his birthday. We slept in late and didn't leave the dock until 8:00. The seas were flat, and managed to put in a couple of nice Halibut to 15lbs. If the seas stay this nice, more Halibut will push into the shallows. Date: Monday, September 4, 2006 at 20:39:40 Comments: On the pictures page you'll see a few of the Lings, and Red limits we caught today. The weather was less than desirable. I had to hold the boat into the winds to stay on the good Rock piles. We fished the Island again today. The fish are there, buy its hard to stay on the piles in the winds. Hopefully it lays down in the next couple of days. Date: Sunday, September 3, 2006 at 20:24:17 Comments: The weather continues to be beautiful. Our 4 anglers ended the day with Limits of Lings, and limits of beautiful Rock Cod. We put in an 8 Ling limit to 18lbs, 12 big Vermillion, and rounded off the day with Olives, Blues, and Blacks, with one Cabazone. Date: Saturday, September 2, 2006 at 20:14:27 Comments: Another great day of fishing. The Lings are thick. We had early limits of Lings to 18lbs, there were so many, we had to knock them off the hook on hitch hikers, then topped off our limits of Big Vermilion, Olives, Blues and Blacks for our five anglers. Plus a couple for the captain. The weather is supposed to pick up a bit for the next couple of days. But if it stays down in the morning, we run up the hill. Date: Friday, September 1, 2006 at 19:40:12 Comments: Another beautiful day on the water. Today we put in a 10 Ling Cod limit to 15lbs for our 5 anglers, plus limits of Vermillion, Big Olives, Blues and Blacks. We fished the island again today with greese slick conditions. On the radio I heard a few boats outside picking up low numbers of Tuna. From Santa Cruz your looking at a 60 to 70 mile run. That means a lot of travel time for very few fish. There's some great water way outside, but not duable in a day trip. Lets hope it makes a push inshore. Date: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 at 21:44:44 Comments: Warren and his crew were a pleasure to fish with. We ended the day with limits of Lings, and beautiful Reds to 8lbs. It was nice to get away from the piles of Blues and get some quality fish. The weather held nicely. Date: Monday, August 28, 2006 at 13:27:18 Comments: The fishing up the coast is still great. Yesterday we fished the Island with limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks, with 5 Nice Ling Cod. The weather was perfect. Date: Saturday, August 26, 2006 at 19:16:44 Comments: What a georgous day on the water. We ran to Ano Nuevo, and had Limits of Lings, big Olives, and after culling out the smaller Blues and Blacks, limits of Rock Cod for six. The weather couldn't have been better. Flat calm all day. I think we'll do the same tomorrow. Date: Friday, August 25, 2006 at 18:47:21 Comments: Today I had a cancellation so I helped out on capt. Jimmy's boat. We ended the day with limits of Blacks, Blues, and Reds, and l 28lb Halibut. The weather looks good for the weekend. There's also a couple of boats running outside looking for Tuna tomorrow. I'll let you know. Date: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 02:27:51 Comments: The Ling Cod, and Rock Cod continue to be good up the coast to Ano Nuevo. Most boats are reporting limits at the island. A few more Halibut are being caught if you spend time. Date: Saturday, August 19, 2006 at 21:28:12 Comments: Today we ran for Tuna. We ran over 60 miles, and fished over 30 miles of ocean. No Tuna. There were a couple of boats that got lucky with a couple of fish. The seas were nice,found decent water color outside the 123.00 line, and great temps, but no fish. The sea life just isn't there. I think the few fish being caught just veared off the freeway on there way to Oregon. Date: Thursday, August 17, 2006 at 22:40:09 Comments: Another great day on the ocean. We ran again to the island. Picked up limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks, with 5 Lings to 14lbs. Fishing and weather have been great. The Tuna are starting to make a bigger showing. Were running offshore on Saturday to keep things honest. Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 at 20:08:35 Comments: We ran again to the Island, which paid off big. We boated limits for four of big Lings to 25lbs, with 10 big Vermillion, and finished off limits with Blues and Blacks. Date: Sunday, August 13, 2006 at 19:44:37 Comments: A beautiful day on the water today. Limits for four of Lings to 15lbs, and limits of Vermillion, Olives, Blues and Blacks. If the weather holds this nice, we'll be running for Tuna in the future. Date: Tuesday, August 8, 2006 at 23:25:57 Comments: Today was an early bite at the island. We had early limits of Blues, and Blacks, with a few olives mixed in. The winds came up early.We fiahed our way back to the harbor for Halibut. with no luck. Date: Sunday, August 6, 2006 at 21:50:09 Comments: Today we fished for Tuna on the inside waters where a few fish were caught from anglers coming in from the outside waters yesterday. It was a totally morning bite. We hooked three fish on the troll, chummed them to the boat, and hooked three more on bait before we had mega tangles. Fish were biting our baits while were tangled, and I couldn't hand line the fish in fast enough. The Tuna were boiling all around the boat. It sounds like the outer finger of warm currents were producing more fish, but that was another 30 miles out. It pays to not listen to radio fish, and go with your instincts. Thats always worked for me in the past, and I'm going back to what works for me. Date: Saturday, August 5, 2006 at 19:13:00 Comments: What a beautiful day at the island. We boated 4 limits of Ling Cod to 20lbs, and 4 limits of Reds, Blues, and Blacks. The weather was dead flat calm all day. I heard a few boats out on the Tuna grounds, and it sounded like things are picking up. Some of the boats at the guide were in early with all the Tuna they wanted. Date: Friday, August 4, 2006 at 20:52:30 Comments: I just got off the phone with Captain Jimmy, and because the Tuna are off shore more than 50 miles, were thinking of combining our two boats into one for two day trips. Because it involves more than 12 hours on the water, Coast Guard requires more than one captain on board. No problem. We're working out the details now. Were trying to put together the comforts for customers, and food arrangemements. If anybody might interested in a 2 day trip, please give us some input. Date: Friday, August 4, 2006 at 20:17:18 Comments: The last two days have been limits of Rock Cod. Catching nice Olives, Blacks, and Blues. Culling out the smaller fish. Tomorrow, weather permitting, were going to Ano Nuevo. There's been some Red Tide moving up and down the coast, and hopefully it's left Ano. The waters offshore have been receiving some harder lines of curents, which may bring in some new schools of Tuna. If so, I can't wait to run offshore. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Date: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 at 20:33:34 Comments: What a great day on the ocean. The weather forcast was for winds that never happened. We ran to Ano Nuevo, and had constant action. We boated 5 limits of Lings to 15lbs, 14 big Vermillion, Olives to 6lbs and finished our limits of Rock Cod with nice Blue's and Blacks. It was one of those days the weathermen were wrong. Date: Sunday, July 23, 2006 at 21:05:46 Comments: The trip up the coast was a gas. Our first drop boated a 22lb Halibut. Moving up we boat 6 Lings to 19lbs, and limits of Blacks, Blues, Olives, and Reds. The weather turned a bit nasty after noon. On the pictures page, three of or four anglers are holding up there larger chatches of the day. Date: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at 18:39:47 Comments: The last two days we've been fishing for Rock Cod, with limits for 6 on Monday of assorted Blues, Blacks, Big Olives, and Reds. On Tuesday we had early limits of the same for 4 anglers. The number of King Salmon has droped some but not the size. There's been 30 and 40 pounders weighed in daily. Today I even heard of a couple over 50. Date: Sunday, July 16, 2006 at 19:09:29 Comments: Todsy was flat cslm until noon, when the winds kicked in and got nasty in a hurry. We managed to hook 11 big Salmon, put 4 in the boat, one came unbuttoned, and the fur bags ate 6. There's some big fish out there. Our biggest weight in at 30lbs+. I'm switching to stronger gear to try and horse these fish to the boat before the Sea Lions have there way. Date: Sunday, July 9, 2006 at 19:03:04 Comments: A new school of Salmon has moved into the bay. I talked to quite a few boaters that fished the south side of Moss Landing, all with early limits. The fish ranged from the 10 to 25lb class, with a few larger fish mixed in. I've got openings for the upcoming weekdays, so give me a call and lets load up on some nice Salmon. Date: Saturday, July 8, 2006 at 18:56:48 Comments: There's not huge schools of salmon in the bay, but there's some hogs. Today we boated 2 King Salmon, with the largest weighing in at 31.9lbs. We lost another one that looked to be about the same size, and another 20 pounder next to the boat. Also we released 7 Silvers at the boat to 15lbs. Date: Friday, July 7, 2006 at 19:10:56 Comments: The fishing was a mix today. The boats in the Soquel whole were catching a few keeper Kings ' in between the silvers. The largest scores came trolling for Halibut on the inside. The waters were calm through the morning. Today we put in limits of Rock Cod, with a couple of Lings. Date: Thursday, July 6, 2006 at 19:36:18 Comments: Having a day off my friend Mike and I fished just out of the harbor to get some fish in our freezers. We put in 3 nice lings and a 20lb Halibut early and went home. The weather continues to be a mother outside, making it hard to fish up the coast. And the forcast for the upcoming week looks the same. Date: Tuesday, July 4, 2006 at 08:47:55 Comments: Yesterday we fished out in front of Santa Cruz for Salmon. After releasing 17 Cojo Salmon, we finally put in a nice 23lb King. The weather was nice until noon. Date: Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 19:51:58 Comments: Today we beat it up the coast again. But well worth the trip. Our first drop boated an 18lb Halibut, and a 20lb Ling hitch hiker. We got blown off Ano by 11:00. But before we did we boated some huge Reds, Lings, and limits of Rock Cod. The weather looks bleek for the week. But talking to my friend Dale on the Kumu, it looks like there some Kings below the Silvers near the hole. So we may try that tomorrow. Date: Saturday, July 1, 2006 at 20:25:17 Comments: Today the winds were a little brisk and a bit cold. But we ran to Ano Nuevo at a slower pace than I would like. We however manage to pick up limits of a mixed bag of Reds, Olives, Blacks and Blues. Along with 8 Lings to 15lbs, and one Cabazone. It looks like the winds are gonna give us no mercy. Tomorrow may be lumpy. Date: Friday, June 30, 2006 at 20:37:09 Comments: Today was another georgous day up the coast. Our six anglers boated 7 King Salmon to 20lbs, and lost another 6 near the boat. Tomorrow is the opener for Rock Cod season. Everything looks promising, and I'm looking forward to fish tacos. Date: Thursday, June 29, 2006 at 20:15:32 Comments: Today we headed up the coast again. We had 4 anglers that hooked 7 King Salmon and boated 3 to 25lbs. The weather was georgous all day. If the the weather holds we're gonna head up again tomorrow. There just to big to pass up. Date: Friday, June 23, 2006 at 21:46:16 Comments: Today to get away from the same boring fishing with few fish, we ventured north to try and find more Salmon. The weather was good, and our first drop pulled in a 17lb Salmon. I found the currents moving fast up the coast. So following the currents we hooked 5 more Kings and put 3 in the boat. The currents are moving fast which makes it hard to stay on the bait. Date: Thursday, June 22, 2006 at 10:52:42 Comments: I had a cancelation for Saturday, June 24. If interested in going out on Saturday give me a call at 831-465-0639. Date: Saturday, June 17, 2006 at 21:49:53 Comments: The Cojo fishing continues to be wide open. We fished until 10:30, when three of our four man charter turned belly up. The weather was sloppy in the morning, but laid down nicely around 9:30. Chris and his crew were a pleasure to have on the boat, and I hope things work out better next time. Date: Friday, June 16, 2006 at 18:56:14 Comments: The weather today was great, and so was the fishing. We picked up over 30 Salmon today, unfortunetly they were all Cojo Salmon we're not allowed to keep. The action is a hot and heavy, but it would be nice to put some fish in the box. Date: Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 20:28:46 Comments: Things are picking up. Today we had 4 anglers that boated 6 King Salmon to 18lbs, and released 6 more Cojo Salmon to 10bs. Its a shame we can't keep any Silvers, there's so many out there. Ben and his crew were a pleasure to fish with as always. Its nice to have agressive fisher people on the boat. Also a special thanks to the newly named Silver Bullet on the boat. A lady that caught 5 Silvers, and her agressiveness was a pleasure to fish with. I look forward to fishing with them again. Date: Friday, June 9, 2006 at 19:29:44 Comments: Today the fishing was decent. We put in 3 King Salmon to 14lbs, and of course had to let go 4 Silvers. The weather held off, so we had no problem puting in a hole day. Tomorrow I'm gonna start a little further up the hill. The currents were sliding down slowly. And because nobodies been fishing up the coast, there may be new fish moving in. But we'll never know until we take a look. Date: Thursday, June 1, 2006 at 17:57:13 Comments: Finally fishing is starting to pick up. It's ironic that it happens the day after commercial fishing is over in the bay. But whatever. Today we fished the tip of the hole, and found little bait. Looking for new waters we ventured to Moss Landing area, and found new schools of fish moving into the bay. I had two anglers that charterd the whole boat. We had two double hook ups, and two more single hookups, which gave us our limits. So for the day we had limits for our anglers, and limits for the captain as well. Dave and Greg were a pleasure to fish with, and brought, on the spur of the moment great luck. Date: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 at 21:01:12 Comments: Today they were still scratchy for my crew. We picked up one king and one silver we released. There was another boat next to us catching limits by noon for three anglers. Bob is the man. Whatever he was using was sucking the fish to their boat. The right sound waves under water, makes a difference when your trolling. I hate trolling. Date: Sunday, May 28, 2006 at 21:08:12 Comments: Today we started our day just below Davenport, with no bait or marks of Salmon. We moved down to the tip of Soquel Hole, and picked up one Salmon weighing in at 12lbs. The season is still slow, and waiting for another school to move in the bay seems to be wishfull thinking. Hopefully the seas will lay down enough to start bringing in more Halibut in the shallows. It's just a matter of time for the currents to make a surge into the bay to change everything. Date: Sunday, May 21, 2006 at 20:44:13 Comments: Again we fished a little north of Davenport, and landed two Salmon to 26lbs. The water was ugly in the morning, then calmed down in the afternoon. There's big fish in the area, but not big counts. Bait is scattered. Date: Saturday, May 20, 2006 at 23:21:41 Comments: Today our six anglers fished just north of Davenport, ending the day with 2 Salmon to 15lbs. The weather was calm all day. We'll be heading that way again tomorrow. Date: Sunday, May 14, 2006 at 19:12:11 Comments: It seems Salmon fishing is starting to pick a bit. Today we hooked 6 Salmon and put 3 in the boat from 16 to 19.5lbs on the scale. There's plenty of bait in the bay, and hopefully new migraters coming in will stay to stuff their belly's. Check our picture page to see todays catch. Date: Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 20:25:46 Comments: Today we fished straight out of Santa Cruz. We only boated one Salmon, at 12lbs, lost two at the boat, and released one shaker. There was plenty of bait in the area. It looks like the few fish that are around are following the schools of bait out front. Date: Thursday, May 4, 2006 at 11:29:39 Comments: I have an open boat for Sunday May 7. If interested give me a call at 831-465-0639. Date: Tuesday, May 2, 2006 at 20:51:48 Comments: I have numerous dates during the week with people looking for more to fill the boat.If interested for dates from May 4 to May 12 give a call. Date: Tuesday, May 2, 2006 at 20:11:07 Comments: Good news. All the three mile bounderies have been lifted and were back to the full ocean fishery we had last year. This could mean a lot, some of the big fish we caught last year were outside the bounderies. I contribute most of the changes in effect to Coastsidefishingclub.com. There focus on the problem, along with their members, helped show the reality of the problem. Date: Friday, April 28, 2006 at 19:44:10 Comments: Today we fished the tip of the Soqel Hole. The weather was nasty in the morning, but laid down nice after 9:00. The bite was slow with only one fish for the day. As the saying goes, misery loves company. Which means it was slow for everybody. Some trollers did better covering more ground. Date: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 at 22:08:48 Comments: The larger schools of Salmon seemed to have moved out of the bay. The water is becoming very clear, with a low level of chlorophyll. I have a full boat on Friday, and weather permiting I'll be running up the coast. Where schools of bait and whales have been reported. Date: Sunday, April 23, 2006 at 20:33:43 Comments: It looked like a good day to do maintance on the boat. Changed Oil and listened to the reports offshore. Seems some got a few and others didn't. The currents were moving, and the winds were brisk. Tomorrow I'm going to do some hunting in new waters. The reports today were acceptable. I'll let you know how I do. Date: Saturday, April 22, 2006 at 15:41:48 Comments: The fishing is still going good. I had a cancellation for Sunday April 23rd and 24th. If your interested give me a call. 831-465-0639. Date: Friday, April 21, 2006 at 19:59:10 Comments: The weather called for more winds than we had today. It was beautiful until around 1:00 when the winds started kicking up a bit. We boated 8 Salmon to 14lbs for our 5 anglers. And as usual lost 3 more at the boat and numerous other bites. The bait was easy to find, and getting away from the fleet produced more bites. Date: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 at 20:01:12 Comments: Today was a beautiful day on the water before noon. The bait was thick and the fish were biting. After noon the winds kicked and we switched to trolling. Missed numerous bites mooching, and the kelp got so thick we lost more fish trolling. We had our chances, but ended the day getting 2 first Salmon for two young anglers on the boat. Date: Monday, April 17, 2006 at 17:35:10 Comments: Finally some great weather on the bay. Seas were calm, and the sun was shining. Today we fished up and out of Moss Landing with David Chyuwei and his hard working crew of food fishermen. We ended up with our 8 Salmon limit for our our 4 angler charter by noon, and back in the harbor by 12:30. Lots of bait in the area. Date: Friday, April 14, 2006 at 21:54:22 Comments: We did a little hunting around today to find the largest concentration of fish. We ended up with 4 Salmon to over 20lbs between Moss Landing and Pajaro. The bite was best in the morning. Date: Monday, April 10, 2006 at 19:59:30 Comments: Today I thought fish would be waiting in ambush around the piles of bait outside of Moss Landing. But it seems either the bad water color,or lack of fish that have found the bait to feed on, or new schools of fish, haven't moved into the bay yet. Today we ended up with only 2 Salmon. Date: Sunday, April 9, 2006 at 20:32:48 Comments: The bite today was great in the morning. Bait was thick and holding lots of salmon. But I noticed the currents were moving fast up hill and so was the bait. We picked up 3 Salmon early, then everything scattered. By the end of the day it was hard to find bait or fish. We caught all our fish early mooching, then tried trolling for a while with no takers. I'm gonna try the same numbers tomorrow first, but if there's no bait, I may have to go hunting. I heard some early reports out of Moss. Date: Saturday, April 8, 2006 at 19:48:29 Comments: It was a tough day on the bay. The storm that passed through yesterday seemed to change the water color and the bait that was holding on the south side of the Monterey Canyon. There seems to be a new batch of fish starting to move into the area just north of Santa Cruz. I had reports from some fishing buddies that looked pretty good. Today we caught only 2 Salmon straight out of Moss on the Canyon Wall. But the bait was moving so fast we couldn't stay on it. I'll be starting on the Santa Cruz side tomorrow. Date: Friday, April 7, 2006 at 18:54:09 Comments: The fishing is still going strong. Our 4 anglers put in their 8 fish limit, plus the captain even got to catch a couple. Our ten fish ranged from 13 to 17lbs. The weather was great in the morning, and the front moved in around 1:00pm. The weather forcast for inside the bay tomorrow looks good. Date: Wednesday, April 5, 2006 at 19:17:20 Comments: Today was a hard day of the office. Between the swells and the high winds, it was hard to look around and find any consintration of fish. We managed to put in 3 fish to 15lbs, for our 5 anglers. Hopefully the weather is better tomorrow and the weekend. Date: Monday, April 3, 2006 at 19:37:26 Comments: It looks like we might get a little break between storms on Wednesday. I have 3 open spaces for that day. The fishing has been so good with big fish, I'm running. Give me a call if you want to get on board. 831-465-0639. Date: Monday, April 3, 2006 at 12:30:21 Comments: I have open boat spaces available for April 4th thru the 6th. If interested give me a call at 831-465-0639. Date: Sunday, April 2, 2006 at 21:26:53 Comments: The day started off ugly with strong south east winds. It was hard to stay on the bait and fish. But being consistant, and working the bait schools, we ended the day with 7 Salmon for our 4 anglers to 24lbs. We only mooched the whole day. Threaded baits didn't work because of the fast drift, but nose hooked baits caught fish. Date: Sunday, April 2, 2006 at 20:57:48 Comments: The morning was sloppy, but we pushed our way to the fishing grounds. It was well worth it. Our four anglers boated 7 big salmon with two just under 25lbs. By the time we cleaned fish and the boat, the rain was starting to come down, and the winds picking up. We ended our day on the south side of the Monterey Canyon, with large stacks of bait. Hopefully there starting to funnel into the mouth of the canyon. Only time will tell. Date: Saturday, April 1, 2006 at 20:47:06 Comments: The Salmon opener turned out to be a beautiful day to fish. We had some light winds in the morning that laid down flat by 9:00. Our four angler charter ended the day with an 8 fish limit, ranging from 14 to 25lbs. Because we were fishing pretty deep we lost at least six other hook ups. I was impressed by the size of the fish this time of year. I'll be out again tomorrow. Stay tuned. Date: Friday, March 31, 2006 at 10:19:57 Comments: I had 2 people cancel for Sunday April 9th, if your interested in filling the space give me a call. It looks like the weather will be fishable for the opener on April 1st. I also have some openings during the weekdays. Date: Sunday, March 26, 2006 at 18:06:58 Comments: I still have open charters during the weekdays from April 5th to the 27th. Weekends are full, but if you can get away during the week days give me a call. The weather for the opener looks good, and hopefully the winter rains are almost over. Date: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 at 21:35:16 Comments: Tomorrow I'm going to take the boat out for a shakedown cruz. Do a little whale wathing, and test all the gear on the boat to be sure everthing is perfect. And while I'm there try to pick up some sand dabs for dinner. From the reports I've heard the dabs are thick, if I can keep the mackerel off the lines. We'll see tomorrow.

Department of Fish and Game just posted a notice on their web-site that Salmon Season will open on April 1st as scheduled. YAHOO, lets go fishing. Give me a call, I still have some dates available in April, and quite a few openings in May. 831-465-0639 Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 at 21:10:56 Comments: The Salmon season is closed for at least the month of April. There is another State meeting at the Capitol in Sacramento in early April. Feel free to attend. Its a public hearing. The more the better. This is the time to voice your opinions. Date: Saturday, March 11, 2006 at 02:23:43 Comments: The Salmon season opener has been posponed for April. They will re-evaluate in April to hopefully open at a later date. Date: Monday, February 27, 2006 at 00:03:48 Comments: There is a proposal to close our Salmon fishing season. We need to stand up and be counted. Here are the agencies we need to wright to.

Date: Saturday, February 4, 2006 at 21:09:59 Comments: Just got back from Buena Vista. The fishing is slow from the east cape all the way to cabo. Some of the best reports I heard were from Cabo Pulmo. They were chuming up deeper Tuna with sardines and catching to 40lb fish just outside the santuary. Cabo Pulmo has great accomadations for diving at Pepe's dive shop, and boats available to fish outside the sanctuary. If your into scuba or just snorkeling, Pepes can set you up. I've done 5 scuba trips with Pepe, and he's the man. Also because Cabo Pulmo has the only living coral reef in Baja, the Mexican government has designated Pepe as the eyes of Pulmo. He cares and does his job well to keep out commercial and sport fisheries. The diving there is like no other. Date: Sunday, January 1, 2006 at 21:34:38 Comments: Rock Cod season is over, and the storms are upon us. The winds and rains have been re-aranging the coast line for the past few days. Salmon season opens April 1st, and I'm already starting to take reservations for the upcoming year. I would recommend booking early to get the dates you want. Give me a call and we'll set you up. Date: Thursday, December 1, 2005 at 10:56:47 Comments: Yesterday I wanted to get in some Ling Cod fishing on the last day of the season. Ended up with a nice limit, plus a limit of Rock Cod. The Rock Cod is still open until the end of December. Give me a call, I'm still running the winter rates. Date: Saturday, November 5, 2005 at 22:31:16 Comments: Today the waters were beautiful with slight afternoon winds, and some swell that has died out quite a bit. Our charter ended up with 4 nice lings, and numerous blues, olives, and vermillions. It was a beautiful day on the water. The weather is supposed to hold until Monday. Ling Cod is open thru the end of the month, and Rock Cod thru December. We're now offering a fall and winter special offer thats all inclusive. This includes parking passes, rods and reels, all terminal tackle, bait, and no fuel surcharge, no matter how far we have to travel, for $100.00 per person. Give us a call. Date: Friday, September 30, 2005 at 13:20:24 Comments: Yesterday we had a two man charter. The weather was great and the water nice. We caught limits of Reds, Blues, Blacks, and Olives, with two keeper Lings. Hopefully the winds and swells stay down for a while. Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 at 22:20:19 Comments: Sorry we're not in P.V. but the ling Cod and Rock Cod are still biting. Sunday we had limits of Rock Cod with seven Lings to 15lbs. Chris and his cruw were a pleasure to fish with. The seas are laid down nice, and there should more Halibut showing. Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at 22:56:25 Comments: The only things that made our long trip worth wild today, were the big fish, and the weather. My four anglers for the day brought in 10 Tuna to 35lbs. Then the Blue Fin show up. Blowing up one troll rod, and spooling a bait stick. We had great baits to throw behind the boat, and had Volkswagen boils. It was like taking a knife to a gun fight. It was short lived, and furious. We were out 56 miles from Santa Cruz. Its easy to keep going west when the waters are so perfect. Then you realise how far out our are. We'll be out to find the ones that got away tomorrow. Date: Friday, September 16, 2005 at 20:01:57 Comments: Dispide the big swell thats hit town, the Rock Cod fishing was still good. Our 4 anglers had limits of Reds, Blues and Olives with one 10lb Ling and a 23lb Halibut. Date: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 at 22:36:39 Comments: There's Tuna out there. When we got into the right waters we started hooking up. Our first stop was a triple, but they wouldn't come to the boat for bait, mainly because there's only three of us on the boat. Everybody was hooked on a fish. After noon the bite died. All our fish were 25 to 35lbs. Date: Sunday, September 11, 2005 at 22:49:16 Comments: The Tuna have moved, but to wake up my snooz cruz, we stopped on a pile of birds working bait and picked an Opah 35lbs. What a treat. Hopefully the waters will stay calm long enough to do some homework. Date: Friday, September 9, 2005 at 19:42:14 Comments: Today I only had two anglers on the boat. We picked up 5 Halibut to 27lbs. We fished up the coasts in 60 to 70 feet of water. The winds laid down in the morning with only a slight wind around noon. I could hear a few tuna boats outside near the weather buoy. Most of the boats seemed to have from 2 to 10 fish, but nice size. Date: Saturday, September 3, 2005 at 18:09:46 Comments: Today the seas were rough offshore, so we decided to try for some Halibut. We ended up with 7 Halibut from 18 to 38lbs. Beautiful fish. The seas were a lumpy in the morning, but fishable. Check our pictures page for photos. Date: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 at 22:20:34 Comments: Albacore fishing was pretty decent today. We ended up with 16 Albies to 47lbs. Three of our fish were over 40, one at 37, and the rest were 10 to 15lbs. We had to cover some water to find them, but when you did they were eager to eat. Lost a couple on bait, and one troll fish broke the line. Lets hope they keep showing. Date: Friday, August 26, 2005 at 21:51:31 Comments: Our four anglers today opted for Tuna. We fished outside Big Sur Canyon at 5 and 25. We ended up with 18 Albies, all small fish. The largest was about 14lbs. The weather was desent until around 10:30 when the winds kicked up. Fishing south from Santa Cruz sometimes catches you down wind for the ride hope. We got our butts kicked for the ride home. The forcast is for winds for the next couple of days. Date: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 at 18:46:53 Comments: Today our anglers wanted to try for Halibut. We tried up as far as Davenport, with no takers. On the way back towards Santa Cruz we tried a couple of beaches, brought in a 20 and a 31 pounder. The seas were a little lumpy and a couple of them started turning green. So we headed in by 11:00. There's more Buts up the coast when the seas lay down a little. Date: Monday, August 22, 2005 at 20:24:24 Comments: We didn't have to go far today. We had limits of Reds, Olives, and Blues in 80ft of water off Natural Bridges. The water was a little lumpy from the winds offshore, but the fish were biting. The forcast is for the winds to lay down outside, so hopefully we'll be running for Tuna by the end of the week. Date: Friday, August 19, 2005 at 20:58:58 Comments: Today we ran for Tuna. The scores weren't as good as I hoped. We ended up with 5 Albies to 25lbs. The fish seemed a little boat shy, it was hard to get anything to go on bait. The water had a 7 or 8 knot wind on it, but not bad. The bite seemed to turn on better in the afternoon. Our last flury was off Carmel Bay. Date: Thursday, August 18, 2005 at 20:48:04 Comments: Another great day at the Island. Limits of Lings to 23lbs for 6, and finished up our limits with Reds to 10lbs, Olives, Blues and Blacks. Weather again was perfect. Date: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 at 20:57:32 Comments: The weather was perfect today. We caught eight Albies for our four anglers. We tried the inside numbers, 36/26 and had a quadrupal hookup on our first stop. The bait was a little slugish, so we threw some Mega Baits and hooked up 3 more. We fisnished up our last fish at 40 and 20 which is only about 20 miles from Santa Cruz. I had a cancellation for Saturday the 20th. If interested call 465-0639. Date: Sunday, August 14, 2005 at 21:23:09 Comments: Fishing on the way to the island we picked up one nice Halibut 13lbs. Ariving at the island we finished up limits early of Lings and Rock Cod. Another flat calm day. Date: Friday, August 12, 2005 at 19:41:00 Comments: Today Jim and his crew were a pleasure to fish with. We targeted Halibut. We finished the day with 3 nice Halibut, and an assortment of Lings and Rock Cod bycatch. Again the weather was perfect, with no wind. It sounded like the boats offshore were doing pretty good on Tuna. Date: Friday, August 12, 2005 at 19:40:15 Comments: Today Jim and his crew were a pleasure to fish with. We targeted Halibut.

The weather held off great. Using live bait, the Olives and Reds couldn't resist. The Lings were up to 12lbs. Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 21:51:41 Comments: We had a cancelation for Saturday the 13th, and are looking for 2 to 3 people to fill an open boat. Call if your interested. 831-465-0639 Date: Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 22:07:12 Comments: Today we ran offshore for Tuna. We ended up with 8 Albies, averaging 25lbs. The fish were good size, breaking off a couple, and a couple more coming unbuttoned. The weather was perfect all day. Date: Sunday, August 7, 2005 at 19:36:15 Comments: Today we put in 6 limits for our anglers, plus limits for the captain and crew. Beautiful big Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks. With 3 Ling Cod, and 1 Cabazone. Seas were calm, with great water clarity. Date: Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 21:14:30 Comments: Another beautiful day at the Island. Our 5 anglers ended up with limits of Rock Cod, 4 Lings, 2 Cabazon released, and another Halibut 15lbs. If the weather holds we might try for Tuna this weekend. Date: Wednesday, August 3, 2005 at 21:30:17 Comments: Today Our fishing charter boated limits of Lings to 13lbs, limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks, and one Halibut 20lbs. The weather was a little lumpy in the morning, but laid down nice for the rest of the day. Date: Sunday, July 31, 2005 at 21:26:53 Comments: The Ling Cod & Rock Cod fishing was great. We had limits for all. But the bonus was a 30lb Halibut. Along with 3 Cabazone. The weather stayed calm all day. Date: Saturday, July 30, 2005 at 20:05:23 Comments: The weather was perfect, and we had limits of Rock Cod, and Lings up to 15lbs. The warmer waters are moving in offshore, and we'll be running for Tuna next week, weather permiting. Date: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 20:12:00 Comments: Today we put in 11 Ling Cod to 22lbs, 1 Halibut 20lbs, and an assorted pile of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks for our 5 anglers. The weather was perfect Date: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 at 20:59:09 Comments: Another beautiful day at the Island. The seas were flat, we were the only boat there, and the fish were on fire. We ended up with Limits of Ling Cod to 18lbs, and limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks for 5 anglers. It looks like the weather is going to hold for a couple more days. Date: Sunday, July 24, 2005 at 21:59:36 Comments: Limits of Rock Cod were on the menue again today. The water was calm, but we fished in the fog all day. Its kind of like being the only boat out there. The forcast looks good for the next few days. Date: Friday, July 22, 2005 at 21:40:33 Comments: The winds came up today, which made our drift fast. But we still ended up with limits of Lings and Rock Cod for our four anglers. Hopefully the fog will come back in tonight and lay it back down. Date: Thursday, July 21, 2005 at 20:55:29 Comments: Another fabulous day of Rock Cod fishing. We had limits of Lings to 16lbs, limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks. And to round off the day we picked up 2 Halibut to 16lbs. The water was flat calm all day, with fantastic water clearity. Date: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 at 21:17:04 Comments: Today we had 3 salmon to 25lbs for our 5 anglers, and one Silver released. There was plenty of bait, and the weather was great. The fish and bait were up in the morning. Date: Sunday, July 17, 2005 at 21:43:38 Comments: Another great day of Rock Cod fishing. We boated 5 limits of Lings to 18lbs, and 5 limits of big Reds, Olives, Blacks and Blues, with 2 Cabazone. There was only a slight breeze on the water. Date: Saturday, July 16, 2005 at 22:04:26 Comments: Another great day of Rock Cod fishing. We boated 12 keeper Lings to 14lbs, and limits of Reds, Olives, Blues and Blacks for our 6 anglers. Also put in the largest Sandy Flounder I've ever seen, weighing in at 15lbs. The seas were flat calm all day. Date: Friday, July 15, 2005 at 21:06:57 Comments: Today we had 6 Salmon for our 4 anglers to 13lbs. The weather was great all day. It looks like a few boats may venture out this weekend to look for Tuna. Lets hope they have a good turnout. Date: Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 21:24:15 Comments: This morning started of a little lumpy, but laid down after we got to Ano Nuevo. It was great having the whole island to ourselves. We boated limits for 5 of Reds, Olives, Yellows, Blacks and Blues. With four big Ling Cod. The ride home was flat with a trailing swell pushing us 20kts all the way. Date: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 at 22:06:32 Comments: Today we only had 2 Salmon, then tried for Rock Cod, but the seas were up and made it hard fishing. Boated mostly Gopher Cod, and Belinas. Date: Saturday, July 9, 2005 at 20:10:34 Comments: The Ano Nuevo Ling Cod and Rock Cod fishing is fabulous. We boated limits for 5 of Lings and Rock Cod by 11:00am. We took live bait to the island that were impossible for the fish to resist. We hit a school of big agressive Olives, and with a little help with live bait chum, we were catching big Olives 10ft under the boat. The hitchhiker Lings were following our fish to the boat. The weather held until we were finished. Date: Thursday, July 7, 2005 at 21:11:02 Comments: The bite was a little weak today boating 4 Salmon to 17lbs for our 6 anglers. We still fished the Soquel Hole region, but most of the bait has moved out. The seas were a little rough, but very fishable. Date: Wednesday, July 6, 2005 at 21:12:06 Comments: The bite was early, we boat boated 7 Salmon by 8:00, then the bite turned south. From the commercial bite to the sport bite things went slow. Date: Tuesday, July 5, 2005 at 20:16:13 Comments: Today was lumpy seas, but the fish were still there. We boated 10 Salmon for our 6 anglers, lost a few at the boat as usual, and threw back a bunch of shakers. Only had to release one Silver. Thank goodness. There so delicate. The currents seem to be moving up the hill, but I keep getting reports of Salmon off Pt. Sur. Lets hope they move into the bay. Date: Saturday, July 2, 2005 at 19:53:45 Comments: Today we fished pot luck. Picked up 3 nice Salmon to 18lbs, a bag of Rock Cod, and a nice 20lb Halibut. The weather continues to be great, with flat seas and a little overcast to stay cool. Date: Friday, July 1, 2005 at 20:52:00 Comments: Well the opener for Rock Cod and Ling Cod was a lot of fun. We headed up to Ano Nuevo, and boated limits for 6 of Lings, Olives, Vermillion, Blues, and Blacks. We fished live bait, and they couldn't resist. Also the Salmon fishing is still going strong. Date: Thursday, June 30, 2005 at 20:14:37 Comments: The seas were flat, bait thick, and hungry fish. We put in limits for our 5 anglers by noon, and got them headed over the hill before traffic. They boated Salmon to 20lbs. All the fish were in the high teens. Fishing down 80ft was the ticket. The bait balls were thick. Tomorrow we'll be going to Ano Nuevo for the other white meat. Tage and his crew were a pleasure to fish with. Date: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 at 20:24:58 Comments: The bait is showing strong inside the bay. With this much bait. the Salmon are going to hold when they find them. The trollers were getting limits early out front. Tomorrow there's no reason to run 40 miles up the line, and I'm rigged for trolling. The bases are covered, lets go fishing. Date: Monday, June 27, 2005 at 21:03:03 Comments: It's amazing how fast conditions can change, from fiest to famon. Today we fished the whole Monterey Bay. From Monterey to North of Santa Cruz. Had numerous fish hooked, but seemed to come off at the boat. A sign of short biters. Date: Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 21:12:08 Comments: Early limits again for our 4 anglers, with Mike bringing in a cow weighing in at 30 pounds. The day started off with light winds, but laid down by 8:00. There were fish being caught all over the bay. Most of the larger fish were on the south bay. Date: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 19:54:55 Comments: It just doesn't get much better. We boated 12 Salmon to 20lbs by 9:30. The seas were dead calm, with a little overcast to keep it cool. We'll be out again tomorrow. Date: Friday, June 24, 2005 at 18:10:19 Comments: Another gorgeous day on the bay. We ended with 12 Salmon for our 6 anglers by 10:00a.m., with John catching a lunker weighing in at 26lbs. Date: Thursday, June 23, 2005 at 18:40:18 Comments: Fishing continues to be great for Salmon. We put in 6 limits for my passengers, and 2 for the crew by noon. The weather laid flat all day, and should be the same tomorrow. Date: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 at 21:59:34 Comments: Salmon fishing is still going stong. With limits for most boats going out. A couple boats ran to the dog bone and picked up a few Tuna. With Salmon going strong, Tuna starting to show, and Rock Cod opening on the 1st of July, things are looking great. Date: Monday, June 20, 2005 at 12:11:04 Comments: It was a beautiful Father's Day on the water. Our 3 person charter boated early limits to 14lbs. Looks like the weather is going to hold for a couple more days. Date: Saturday, June 18, 2005 at 21:24:56 Comments: The weather was great, and the morning bite was the same. We had 9 Salmon by 10:00, and the bite turned slow. We ended up with 11 Salmon to 16lbs by the end of the day. We fiahed the Soquel hole area. Date: Friday, June 17, 2005 at 23:29:00 Comments: The fish are a little more scattered today. We put in 4 Salmon in the morning mooching, then switched over to trolling to put in 4 more keepers to 15lbs. Hooked numerous more fish lost at the boat, and missed more on the mooch. Date: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 at 11:40:23 Comments: The Salmon fishing continues to be Red Hot. I have openings for the 16th and 19th if your interested. Give me a call 831-465-0639. Or my cell 831-212-1832. Date: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 20:57:17 Comments: We had a good day today. Our 6 anglers boated 12 Salmon to 14lbs. Limits around. The weather was great all day. Date: Monday, June 13, 2005 at 21:29:34 Comments: The Salmon fishing is still wide open. Most boats that went out today, had limits by 10:00 a.m. I fixed my water pump problem, and I'll be out in the morning. Date: Sunday, June 12, 2005 at 19:32:49 Comments: The Salmon have moved in big time. Unfortunately on the day of the new schooles moving into the bay, I coocked a raw water cooling impeller. I couldn't find a part over the weekend, but the situation should be taken care of the early week. It's about time to see a school of Salmon move into the bay. Hopefully this school will hold for a while. Date: Tuesday, June 7, 2005 at 20:23:25 Comments: I forgot to mention that Rita is the cosmic fisher person. She always catches the biggest and the most. Date: Tuesday, June 7, 2005 at 20:08:12 Comments: There are some salmon still in the bay. We only put in one 15 pounder in the boat, but had two more follow the baits to the surface. Also lost a couple more. The piles of bait in front of the harbor are insane. I think all we need is for the winds to lay down for a few days, and fishing could be great. Date: Saturday, June 4, 2005 at 23:07:03 Comments: The fishing today remained scratchy. Hoping to find a few Halibut with fresh live bait didn't pan out. Fishing from the west side of Santa Cruz to Capitola ended a bust. With lumpy seas, and merky warters, we ended up feeding lots of Cod our baits. The winds continue to blow outside, making it lumpy waters inside to fish in. There were a couple of Salmon for trollers on the east side of the hole. Date: Saturday, May 28, 2005 at 19:26:46 Comments: Today we tried for Halibut. We fished from Davenport, back to Santa Cruz. Ended up with one nice Halibut 17lbs. We picked the fish up at Wilders in 35ft of water. The Salmon reports were few, even for the commercial boats. Whats happened to our fisherie. Lets hope the currents and fishing take a turn for the better. We're gonna try some different areas tomorrow. Date: Saturday, May 21, 2005 at 21:53:53 Comments: Today I went our with my good friend Willy, on Donalli II. We picked up our 4 fish limits by 10:00, and back in the harbor by 10:30. We trolled for our fish down deep from 185 to 200ft, in 220ft of water. The weather stayed pretty nice until about noon. Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at 18:53:36 Comments: The Salmon are slow, with almost no fish reported in the last three days. The weather has been less than desirable. Halibut made a showing over the last weekend, but now the swell is supposed to show up over the next couple of days. The year has been one of the slowest starters I've seen in years. Currents offshore and inshore have been way to warm all winter. Maybe the warm Japanese currents off shore will start to compress, making for some nice tuna fishing. I'm thinking of running out, just to see what kind of sea life is out there. Date: Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 17:49:29 Comments: Today was slow, we only had one Salmon caught by 9 year old Gianna De Maria. Her first fish. She did a great job. The bait was scattered, and hard to find larger bait balls. Lets hope things change soon. Date: Saturday, May 14, 2005 at 19:16:23 Comments: The Salmon fishing seems to be picking up a bit, dispite the pressure from the stick boats. We started up and out with the rest of the boaters, with no luck. Then ventured east to find small groups of bait that were holding some fish. Our first stop put in an 18 pounder, and on our second move on a small school of bait up high, boated 2 more nice fish out of four hookups. I feel fortunate to get a fish per rod the way fishing has been. Date: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 at 20:52:35 Comments: The fishing in the bay is slow. We covered over 50 miles of water today, and got skunked. We had birds, bait, and whales, but no fish. The reports from Half Moon Bay were the same, no fish. The seas were flat until noon. Date: Saturday, May 7, 2005 at 19:02:08 Comments: Today was a long day on the water.The fish were deep and hard to target for moochers. We covered the bay from Monterey, to Santa Cruz. The trend of the currents is moving north, and we're going to try up the line tomorrow. Date: Sunday, May 1, 2005 at 19:14:04 Comments: Today we ended up with 4 Salmon for our four anglers. There seemed to be plenty of bait around, but not a lot of fish on them. Date: Friday, April 29, 2005 at 19:40:18 Comments: Today was beautiful on the water, but a hard of fishing. We traveled from north of Pigeon Point, back to Santa Cruz, with only two Salmon. Bait was hard to find. Date: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 at 19:52:05 Comments: The seas were calm on the way up the line, but picked up by 9:00. We arrived on the fishing grounds at 8:30, and had limits for 6 by 9:45. The ride home with winds from the south, was lumpy until Pigeon Point, then started to lay down the closer we got to Santa Cruz. Check our photos on the pictures page. Date: Monday, April 25, 2005 at 21:00:01 Comments: The weather was grease slick flat, with whales feeding on their way north. We traveled up the line outside Pescadero, to find great fishing. Put in limits for only three anglers on our first stop. Then made a couple more stops to get one for the crew. It was one of those perfect days, dispite the 2 hour run. Date: Sunday, April 24, 2005 at 19:59:37 Comments: Today we fished Soquel Hole and ended up with 3 Salmon to 13lbs, for our 4 anglers. The weather was perfect. Date: Friday, April 22, 2005 at 19:47:46 Comments: As I predicted yesterday,most of the fish have moved from the Moss Landing area, and moved on. We boated two nice Salmon to 15lbs outside that area, before the south winds picked up. The bay is looking pretty empty of bait, making it hard to hold any fish locally. Date: Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 19:46:29 Comments: UP DATE. I have a cancellation on Saturday the 23rd. If anyone wants the date, call me at 831-465-0639. Or my Cell at 831-212-1832. Date: Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 19:37:25 Comments: Today we hooked 11 fish with nine shakers. The Pajaro hole has work itself out. We got some new scores of fish in an area of better size fish, we'll be trying tomorrow. Hope it works out. Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 at 18:59:46 Comments: The seas have laid down nice and the fishing is still pretty good. Went out today with a friend just to get some fish for myself, and boated a couple of Salmon in an hour and went home. The fish are on the top 50ft, and want something to chase, so we switched to motor mooching, it worked great. Date: Saturday, April 16, 2005 at 21:37:46 Comments: The last couple of days have been a lot of work for few fish. Yesterday and today we only had two fish for each day. The trollers have been doing better, so we're going to change our tactics, and go to motor mooching. The old timers new what worked for them, and I hope it works for us tomorrow. Date: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 at 20:26:23 Comments: Today we headed to where the hot bite was yesterday, but the fish had moved. Moved more inside and up, and ended up with 5 fish for our 4 anglers, and losing a few others. The morning bite seems the best. Date: Monday, April 11, 2005 at 19:29:45 Comments: It was a calm day on the water until 1:00, then the winds blew. But before they did we managed to put two fish in the boat, with numerous other bites. Date: Saturday, April 9, 2005 at 23:45:20 Comments: Today we fentured out in the big seas as far as Mulligans, with no fish. There were stacks of bait, and fishable, but no biting Salmon. The water temps are cooling down, with lots of bird action. When the fish show, I think they'll stay for a while. Hopefully soon. Date: Tuesday, April 5, 2005 at 21:33:10 Comments: Fishing seems to be picking up. Today we had a two person charter that boated a fish per rod. Up to 15lbs. We starter in the soquel hole, with no luck. But later found the bait and caught a fish per person. Date: Sunday, April 3, 2005 at 20:35:27 Comments: More of the same today. Fishing in water temps in the 58 degree range, which is way to warm, we only hooked one fish that came un buttoned. The reports further south, and north, are no better. Maybe some better reports will show after the weather on Monday. Date: Saturday, April 2, 2005 at 21:50:58 Comments: The opener wasn't what we had hoped for. After losing three fish, we finally put an 18.5 pouder in the boat. The bait is scarce and deep, with warm waters. Date: Sunday, October 24, 2004 at 22:21:21 Comments: Big Vermillion were the catch for the day. We fished west of Santa Cruz and put in limits of big reds to 10lbs. One keeper Ling, and the largest White Belly I've ever seen, tipping the scales close to 8lbs. We limited with 26 Vermilion, and nice Blues and Blacks to round off limits, and One keeper Ling, for our four anglers. Date: Saturday, October 23, 2004 at 22:57:37 Comments: Today was a beautiful day on the water. The seas were flat, and we ended up with limits of Blacks, Blues, Vermillion, and one keeper Ling. Date: Monday, October 18, 2004 at 13:31:51 Comments: Yesterday Oct. 17th, turned out to be a great day. We traveled up to the Island, and put in two nice keeper Lings, and limits of Reds, Olives, Blacks and Blues. The south winds came up for the ride hope, but wasn't that bad. Rock Cod fishing is still great. With less than two weeks left in the season you better should book soon. Date: Friday, October 15, 2004 at 01:48:01 Comments: Well there's been some warmer waters pushing in closer to the bay. A few fentured out to keep the tuna honest to no avail. The good waters are still 70 to 80 miles out. If you like going for an all day boat ride, you might catch a few Tuna. That doesn't leave much time for fishing on a one day trip. If you wanted to spend the night and do a two day trip, you might do well. But the Rock Cod fishing is still great, and thats where I'm going to concentrate my efforts. A lot more action and fishing. Date: Monday, October 4, 2004 at 00:38:27 Comments: Today we headed to the island. The weather was great. It started off a little scratchy, but found some pods of nice fish. We had three keeper lings, 8 big Vermillions, Nice Olives, blues, Blacks, and Cabizon. Date: Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 22:28:24 Comments: What a great day of Rock Cod fishing. The conditions were a little lumpy in the morning, then laid down. Beverly and her crew were seasoned fishermen, and needed little help from us. We boated limits of Big Reds, Big Olives, Blacks, and Blues, plus two keeper Lings to 20lbs. They were a pleasure to fish with. Date: Thursday, September 23, 2004 at 22:55:23 Comments: Well today we ran way outside for Tuna. We were out 75 miles, in the 18/15 area. Perfect 64 degree water, light winds, and only one fish. Bocci Boy was about 15 miles north of me and ended up with 24, at last count. The fish moved up the line 20 miles in a day. It doesn't look good for the fall tuna counts. Tomorrow were headed up the line for Halibut and Rock Cod. Much more action. Date: Monday, September 20, 2004 at 21:59:18 Comments: We started off this morning looking for Halibut, but conditions were slow. Lookng for more action, we moved to Anyo. The action was wide open for cod, stopping in the right spots,kept all anglers buisy. We ended up with limits of Blues, Blacks, Big Reds, Olives, and Lings. Live bait is where it's at. Date: Saturday, September 18, 2004 at 18:44:09 Comments: Today we tried a few areas up the coast, with poor counts. There's red tide dirty water until we got far enough up to clear water. We managed to pick up 3 Halibut, and some nice rock fish for our two anglers that chartered the boat. We were hoping to get out for Tuna, but the wind conditions dictate otherwise. It looks like there might be a break in the winds come Monday. The water temps and currents look favorable. Pray for calm seas. Date: Sunday, September 12, 2004 at 15:36:05 Comments: Because of the winds and slow Tuna fishing, I have openings for Sept. 14th, and 17th. Give me a call if either of these dates will work for you. 831-465-0639, or cell 831-212-1832. Date: Tuesday, September 7, 2004 at 20:53:08 Comments: Today we fished Halibut. We caught 5 up to 44lbs. Vince was a vergin flatty angler and put in the 44 pounder weighing at the docks. Also The tuna have moved in on a warm water finger only 16 miles from Santa Cruz. Break out the sciffs. Date: Sunday, September 5, 2004 at 22:01:32 Comments: It was a beautiful day on the ocean. A little wind on the way out, but it laid down flat. We pulled in 16 nice Tuna to 25lbs, which 20 were on bait. We were south of the fleet about 10 miles in a 5 square mile area around 45/55. As the day wore on, we kept moving in closer, and ended up only 45 miles from home. We were in 60 to 61 degree water all day. There's a soft break there, but its moving in even closer. The slightly off color water worked best for us. Date: Saturday, September 4, 2004 at 10:32:50 Comments: Yesterday we were scheduled for Tuna, but the winds and lumpy seas kept us close to home. Opting for Rock Cod, we put in a nice batch of Reds, Blues, Blacks, Olives and one keeper Ling. The winds are supposed to subside for tomorrow, so we can get offshore. Date: Thursday, September 2, 2004 at 19:25:13 Comments: Today we were booked for tuna, but the winds outside are unfishable. We headed up to Davenport this morning and got turned around early. So we fished South Rock, and inside. It was great. We ended up with two keeper lings, Giant Vermillions, which I recommend people release, because they were full of eggs and not as good for eating, Blues, Olives, and one Halibut. Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 at 22:58:24 Comments: Today our anglers opted to stay inshore instead of running out 60 miles plus. We had the Island to ourselves. What a great choice. We boated 25 Reds to 8lbs, and finished their limits with big olives, and blacks. Also two legal Lings. And a 14lb Halibut. The conditions were great. Date: Monday, August 30, 2004 at 21:00:43 Comments: Sorry for the late report, but we had a fatigue delay. Yesterday we put in 16 large Tuna to 35lbs. The morning bite was good on the inside of the Guide, but we got ther later in the day. But around 1:00 in the afternoon,everything broke loose, we had a double hookup on the troll, and put in 12 more tuna on the bait stop. We hooked over 30 tuna on that stop to boat 12. Between sawing off lines and fish just coming off the hook, it was a fire drill. All six rods on the boat were bent for an hour. Thats what its all about. Date: Saturday, August 28, 2004 at 22:00:03 Comments: We went out for Tuna today. The conditions were perfect, but not many fish. I can't believe there's not more Tuna in the waters we saw. We ended up with only 3 Albie's, and chopped one off at the boat. The bait we had sucked. 80% died on the way out. Concrete Jim, fished in the same area and found a nice pod of fish late in the day, and ended up with 14. We're gonna try it again tomorrow. Date: Friday, August 27, 2004 at 21:58:25 Comments: We've had Tuna trips scheduled for the last two days, but due to winds offsore, they re-scheduled. Tomorrow looks to be dercent weather, so offshore we go. Date: Sunday, August 22, 2004 at 20:38:26 Comments: The Rock Cod fishing is still some of the finest I've seen. We again had limits of Blues, Blacks, Olives and Big Vermillions, with three keeper Lings to 18lbs. Its total action all the time. Joe and his crew, were a pleasure. They knew what they were doing. Date: Saturday, August 21, 2004 at 20:00:14 Comments: What a beautiful day on the water. First thing in the morning we stopped to try and pick up some Halibut. We put down our baits and put one But in the boat in about 5 minutes. But the fun was at the Island. We put in 3 big lings to 24lbs. And busted of half a dozen more. The bigger lings are starting to move in the area. Plus we put in limits of Reds, Blacks, Blues, and Olives. Date: Friday, August 20, 2004 at 21:59:59 Comments: The conditions off shore were great. We put in 8 tuna, ranging from 25 to 35lbs. Our second stop was the best. We put out a chum line behind the boat, and got the fish to come up. All six bait fishermen were hooked up at the same time. Its sure nice to see the whole boat with bent rods. After slicing off a couple of fish, and a couple coming unbuttoned, we ended up with six. The bait we got from Shamrock had some hot rod Sardines mixed in. Thats what got bit. Date: Thursday, August 19, 2004 at 18:34:06 Comments: This is an update, I still have room for one or two people to run for Tuna tomorrow, Aug 20th. If interested, give me a call. The weather looks good, and its time to make some counts. 831-465-0639, or cell 831-212-1832. Date: Thursday, August 19, 2004 at 18:02:30 Comments: It looks like some good weather and Tuna are starting to show in the area. Not close, but 50 miles looks good now. I'll be running tomorrow, and I have 2 or 3 spaces open on a cancelation for Saturday. If your interested in Tuna for Saturday call me at 831-465-0639, or my cell at 831-212-1832. Date: Sunday, August 15, 2004 at 16:54:32 Comments: Yesterday we had five limits, and today we had six limits of Blacks, Blues, Olives, and Reds. With a few keeper Lings thrown in. The Rock Cod fishing at Ano Nuevo is fantastic. Its something fun to fish for while waiting for the Tuna to make a better showing. Hopefully soon. Date: Thursday, August 12, 2004 at 20:04:36 Comments: What a georgous day on the water. On our way up the coast, we tested a few Halibut holes, with no results. Then headed to Ano Nuevo. We caught some of the most beautiful Vermillion I've seen. To 10lbs. The conditions were perfect, with a slight breeze to to cover the area. Our 5 anglers put in limits. And of course we caught and released about 40 Lings 1 or 2 inches short of 30 inches. I heard a couple of boats offshore for Tuna, but with no numbers. Maybe one to 5 fish. But it sounded like they were good quality. Some of the bigger fish hang in the cooler waters. Nice to hear bigger fish, but the numbers of fish suck. Not enough to run for. Date: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 at 21:43:36 Comments: This is an update. Just trying to keep things in the honest perspective. The Albacore bite is terrible now. The best waters have passed to up north where there hammering them, from Pt. Mendicino north. The Halibut bite is scratchy, unless you find a nice swaile their laying in. The Salmon is a lot of work at 180 to 200ft down, to catch one or two mostly peanuts. The only thing thats still hot are the Rock Cod. Beautiful. I've seen some reports that are just targeting fishermen to get them pumped up. But not honest reports. You have to look at the overall picture. Not one or two boats that happen to do good. If your going to post a fishing report on the web, lets be honest, and cover the hole picture. Date: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 at 19:21:13 Comments: Yesterday we went out for Tuna. We had great water temp. and color, but very few fish. We ended up with 4 Albies, to 20lbs. And to make matters worse, the winds blew 15 to 20kts all day. Not fun. Today I had the same customers that opted to try for Rock Cod. We had limits of Big Vermillion, Blues, Blacks, a couple of nice Olives, and after catching and releasing about 30 Ling, we kept one. Date: Monday, August 9, 2004 at 02:17:12 Comments: The variety of Rock Cod was great. We had mixed bag limits of Blacks, Blues, Vermillion, and some big Olives. With a 20lb Halibut.

The bottom fishing continues to be non stop action. Don't leave your rod unatended. Tomorrow we'll be fishing the shallows for Cod and Halibut again.

So I have an open boat for Saturday for up to 4 more people. If interested call me at 831-465-0639. Or call my cell at 831-212=1832.

We did end up with 7 Salmon to 18lbs for our 5 anglers. Even though the tuna are a far out, I don't mind running if the seas are calm. Lets hope the seas lay down, so we can have some Tuna fun.

The one on the pictures page is a 23 pounder. Tomorrow we'll be running for Tuna. Date: Sunday, August 1, 2004 at 21:25:27 Comments: The opener for Rock Cod started off with a bang. We had limits of cod for the boat, but only 2 keeper Lings. We caught over 25 Lings that were one or two inches under the new 30" length requirement. Thirty inches is a BIG Ling. We also had a lot of Nice Vermillion to 8lbs. The Black Rock Cod were abundent. The Salmon just keep hanging in there. Two of my co-workers both ended up with limits of Salmon today also.
