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...

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.

Awesome Jurassic Park trip today with early limits for four (pic only shows some of the fish and missing one fisherman). Came in closer to shore for halibut but didn’t find any takers. Thanks Marvin (and his mother) for sharing the tasty pupusas! The post September 1 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Nice flat water for our afternoon halibut trip. Went down the coast where the halibut had been biting and trolled. No takers! Went to a Capitola reef and picked up some blue rockfish. Today was the last day for local rockfish fishing. Will open again May 2024. The post August 31 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.
