Windy conditions for our local rockfish trip. The fish were biting like crazy! Only kept the biggest (60 fish) blues. Fun and fast fishing today. The post July 23 – Afternoon trip appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Headed to Jurassic Park today and the bite was wide-open. Limited out early (40 fish) on chili peppers and got some nice petrale sole then came in closer to shore for a try at halibut. The post July 23 – Morning trip appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Wind was blowing pretty good but the fish seemed to like it. We limited out with 60 rockcod in an hour! Early limits again today so we came in closer for another halibut drift. The post July 22 – Afternoon trip appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Awesome day at Jurassic Park. Water was a bit lumpy with some wind but catching limits was no problem with big chili peppers and reds. We limited out early so we came in closer to drift for halibut. Here’s a pic of just some of the haul. The post July 22 – Morning trip appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Off to the halibut grounds today and we got ’em. Unfortunately all the halibut were undersized and had to be released to grow a little more. Catch and release day. The post July 6 appeared first on Monterey Bay and Santa Cruz Fishing Charters.

Another awesome day at one of our Jurassic Park honey holes. 180 pounds of chili peppers canaries and several other rockfish. Topped off with Steve junior playing tug-of-war with a great white shark for a rockfish. Bruce the shark won. Saw whales too!
