Jurassic Park Deep Reef again today and the lingcod were biting! Also brought home reds and chili pepper and petrale sole.` Flat as a pancake water today.

Awesome day at Jurassic Park deep reef. After getting live bait the lingcod game was on! Biggest two lings were 20# and 17.5#. The rest weren’t small either. Also brought home reds up to 7 pounds and nice big chili peppers.

Jurassic Park Deep Reef fishing has been outstanding! Lingcod and rockcod and occasionally petrale sole is the norm. We have seats available for tomorrow and Sunday. Let’s go get some big fish!

The weather forecast this weekend is perfect for deep water fishing. Little wind and small seas.

Beautiful day for our Jurassic Park trip today. Jigged up live bait and went after lingcod. The kids smashed the lingcod today with a couple over 17 pounds and nothing under 10 pounds. Also brought in big reds, yellowtail and greenspot rockcod. Awesome time and a cool 65 degree air temp.

Made a run far up the coast to test the chili pepper grounds. We found them too. Nice chili peppers, yellowtail, reds, canaries and green stripe rockcod.

Out to the lingcod grounds again and after a couple hours only got a couple into the boat. We lost ten! Afterwards went over and picked up some reds, canary, and green spots and a few petrale sole. Water was a little bumpy and it was foggy.

Jurassic Park deep water today. Lingcod were biting good and so were the reds. 13 year-old Luke reeled in four lingcod himself. Great water conditions and air temp was a cool 63 degrees.

Started out looking for halibut but the recent swell made halibut fishing slow. Switched to rockcod and we got in to them big time. Lot’s a blue rockcod.

Another great day in the halibut grounds. Landed these and lost a few.

Awesome halibut bite today!

Local rockcod today. Ran out to south rock and the fish were biting as soon as we got there. We whacked em good! Early day.

Hello Jurassic Park! Great weather and big fish today.

Happy family day on our local potluck trip. Lots of blues, olives and reds and big smiles.

Jurassic nearshore today and a ton of fun and fish. Happy 12th birthday Bergen you caught a lot of great fish.

Up the coast for Jurassic Park today. Very foggy and a little bumpy. Got into some quality reds and blues.

The rockcod, lingcod and halibut bite continues to be good to very good here in Santa Cruz. Albacore tuna seemed to have moved out of the area with only a couple handfuls being caught. Looks like we have to wait for the bluefin to show up.

Out to the halibut grounds today and smooth seas but a wee bit foggy. Got to our honey hole and started drifting fresh caught squid. Brought home some nice halibut and big smiles. 11yo Jason from Hollister got his first ocean caught fish and it was a good one!

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.

Beautiful day for our local potluck trip. Ran out to south rock and we got into the olives, blues and reds big time. Great group including 84 year-old war veteran Fred. Awesome time.

Local potluck today with some local families. First drop in we hooked up and even got a blue lingcod right off the bat. Things slowed down while we moved around picking up blues, olives, browns, canaries and reds the rest of the trip.
Due to a last minute cancellation for tomorrow we have three seats available. Call now and we’ll get you out there for some nice rockfish and maybe even a lingcod or two.

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.

Local halibut trip today with a great group of guys from over the hill. South swell is in town and really knocked down the nearshore fishing. No halibut today.

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.

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.

Our local potluck trip turned into a Jurassic Park trip using live bait. Dropped in our lines with live bait and the lingcod were waiting! Hooked into seven lings but only kept the three biggest. The rockcod were big too. Was pretty much a haul ’em in day with reds, browns, canary, olive and blue rockfish.

Jurassic Park trip today up the coast. The full moon and cold water has really slowed down the catching fir the past couple days. We did manage to get our fish but had to work pretty hard. Reds, browns, black, blue and olive rockfish today.

Fished locally for our local potluck trip. Fishing was slow but we got some rockcod to take home. Very nice group of folks from Jacob’s Well Ministries.

Awesome trip to Jurassic Park today. Ran up the coast a ways and as soon as we dropped in our lines we were hooking up with nice quality blues, reds, coppers, and seven lingcod (kept four). Great fishing with our Gilroy group from Plumbing America.

Up the coast for our Jurassic Park trip today for our party of six. Once we got to the honey hole we started bringing in fish non-stop. Got our rockcod and a big fat blue lingcod and a big fat cabezon. What a great group of guys. Non stop hauling in fish. After we got our cod we drifted for halibut.

Another awesome day of fishing with flat calm water and a great bite of jumbo blues.
