We’re still waiting for the official word when fishing season will open. I expect May 1st we can fishing for everything except salmon. Salmon will probably remain closed for another season. The post February 5 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Out to the deep today with high hopes of big fish. Mother nature had other plans for us. East wind made fishing difficult but we did manage to knock out limits of chili peppers and green spots. The post November 1 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Out to the deep again for lingcod and rockcod. Water wasn’t very nice so it was a bumpy day. Got to the lingcod grounds and the mackerel have taken over the area. Mackerel went for miles and the lingcod weren’t interested in what we had to offer so we headed up the coast for rockcod. […] The post October 29 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa...

Ran out for lingcod today and made bait but the mackerel were thick! Turns out the lings already had their meal for the day so we headed up the coast and got into the chili peppers and petrale sole. Perfect weather and water today and a little bit of a whale show too. The post October 28 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charte...

Out to the deep lingcod part of Jurassic Park today. After making bait we drop in our lines and picked away at the lings. Water and wind were ugly but we managed to get some lings to bite. Lost one big one too. Happy family with lingcod sand dabs and mackerel on the dinner menu. The post October 22 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fis...

The bluefin are now starting to show up in consistent numbers. My buddy Josh landed three and lost one in the past 48 hours. Other boats are also getting fish. We’re ready to roll out on another tuna trip. Book your trip now before the bluefin start going back down south. The post October 16 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Ch...

Our first bluefin tuna trip of the season. Water was perfect. Quite a few boats fishing but not a lot of fish caught today. Water looked good so maybe the big tuna bite will be soon. The post October 14 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Out to the deep once again and the fish were waiting for us! Knocked out limits of big green spots chili peppers and reds today for five. Great time watching the youngsters 8-yo Margo and 10-yo Fin wind up their fish with mom dad and grandpa John. Good whale show too!

Little bumpy water early then the water laid down. Today we caught our biggest red (vermillion rockfish) ever at 11 pounds! Also got limits of 2-3 pound chili peppers. Awesome catch today.

Perfect water today for our Jurassic Park trip to the deep. As soon as we dropped our lines in it was game on! Nine year-old Allison brought in the first and biggest fish of the day then it was a steady pick of yellowtail canary red green spots. Limits for four!
