Tried to get back out to south rock but the afternoon winds were blowing too hard so puttered around looking for fish closer to port. Winds finally came down a bit and got offshore more and we got into the big blues. Came home with reds olives and blues.

The albacore fishing has slowed down and they’re farther offshore than a few days ago. Looks like we have to wait for when the warmer water comes back in. Probably 2-3 days from now. The local fishing for halibut has been good. Lingcod and rockcod are picking up too. The post August 29 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters...

Local rockcod trip with the cold water and strong currents with pretty much the same results as this morning. The boys had a blast but not much fish. The post August 24 – Afternoon trip appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Off to Jurassic Park today with high hopes. Last time Donglin fished with us we had 150 pounds of lingcod and rockcod. This time the results weren’t so good. Water temp got very cold and we have a lot of current. Brough home halibut and a few rockcod. Sorry Donglin better luck next time. The post August 24 – Morning trip appeared first on Monterey...

Hey fishermen While I was on my short camping trip Flash 1 also did one of our 1st shark trips.
