July 3
The fishing is getting better by the day and the water was flat! There were Albacore caught near the numbers as of yesterday but scores were ranging from 1-5 fish a boat. The best scores of Albacore were at 37'08/123'09 and there were scores of 11-30 fish. The winds are down so come fishing. The Tournament is still going all weekend so come fishing I have many prizes. The Halibut fishing is good near the Westside and near 4 mile beach. The Lingcod fishing was hot at Franklin Point. The biggest fish for the Tournament is only 23 pounds so it is anyone's game!
July 2
The Albacore fishing is happening 65 miles from Santa Cruz. There are a few boats out catching Albacore in flat calm conditions. The boats have 2-8 fish as of 1:00 pm. The latest scores are ranging from 8-15 fish a boat as of 5:00 pm. I have not heard of any information from the Guide area but if you have e-mail me. The Halibut fishing is getting better by the day as the swell drops. Come on by and get in THE 2ND ANNUAL BAYSIDE MARINE BIG FISH TOURNAMENT FRIDAY - SUNDAY!
July 1
The fishing conditions were good today for Albacore and inshore fishing. There was one boat "Ultimate" who had 14 Albacore at 36'25/123'10. There was another boat at the Guide who had 4 fish last we heard. The winds were calm on the outside all day. The Rock fish and Halibut picked up on the inshore due to less wind and swell. The time to fish is this weekend and don't forget to get in the 2ND ANNUAL BAYSIDE MARINE BIG FISH TOURNAMENT!
June 30
The swell did pick up today but there were still some good reports of Halibut. I weighed in a nice limit from the Natural Bridges area and the biggest fish was 26 pounds. The winds are going to be down for the week so get ready to fish in less windy conditions. There are some anglers who may go look for Albacore Thursday or Friday. We will keep you updated on the offshore Albacore. This is a good time to get ready for the Bayside Tournament that starts this Friday.
June 29
The fishing is still going decent for the inshore anglers who are working the 30-60 feet of water near the Harbor. The winds were down all morning and the wind is expected to stay nice for a few days. There were 2 boats looking for Albacore near the 601 yesterday but only found warm gray water. There are still a few Thresher Sharks being caught in Capitola. This week looks flat so come fishing.
June 28
The Halibut are still on the bite and the inshore Rock fish and Threshers are keeping people happy. The winds were down all morning with a small amount of wind in the late afternoon. There were some more big Thresher Sharks caught in the 100 pound class so gear up. Get ready for the 4 th of July Derby!
June 27
The Halibut bite is still going on for the anglers who are working hard at it. There has been some swell since Friday but there are some nice Halibut being caught. The Rock fishing is still good with nice Olives and Lingcod being reported from South Rock. The wind may come up again in the afternoon so come early.
June 26
The Halibut, Thresher Shark, and Rock fishing is keeping anglers busy out in front of the Harbor and in Capitola. There are huge schools of Sardines near the Harbor and the Boardwalk to jig up in the morning. The wind was down all morning but there was some afternoon wind. The fishing for Halibut has been good so come on out!
June 25
The Halibut, Thresher Sharks, and Rock fish are going off in Santa Cruz. We have been seeing scores of 2-12 Halibut a day. The winds are down and so is the swell. The Rock fish are being caught in the shallow water near the Mile Buoy and the Lighthouse. Anglers who are working the Franklin Point are catching big Lingcod. The Sardines are all over the Harbor and the west side of Santa Cruz to jig up with sabikis. I have not heard of any offshore Albacore but the water is warm on the inshore. You may want to beef up your inshore gear 50-200 pound Thresher Sharks have been slamming
June 23
The fishing on the inshore continues to keep anglers busy. There were some big Halibut caught today while drifting next to the kelp beds near Natural Bridges. There are some big Threshers still being caught in Capitola and on the west side of Santa Cruz. There are some Sardines still to find and jig up. The Rock fishing continues to be good near the Mile Buoy reef. The wind is expected to slow down all this week so come fishing.
June 22
Today we lost a long time fisherman of the Monterey Bay. Jeremiah Brady passed a way and will be missed by many people. He was a kind and caring man! RIP SALTY!
June 21
The Halibut are still being caught on the west side of Santa Cruz and Capitola. The water was windy in the mid morning and then it blew in the afternoon. The winds are expected to come down Tuesday. There is a big school of Thresher Sharks in Capitola that are taking dead bait.
June 20
The fishing is still going well for the anglers who hit the water early. There were good scores of Thresher Sharks caught in Capitola and New Brighton area. The Halibut are still on the bite from Natural Bridges to Capitola. The wind may come up early so get out here in the morning for Fathers Day!
June 19
The fishing continues to be good on the inshore. There were good scores of Halibut from 4 Mile Beach to Capitola in 40-50 feet of water. There were good scores of 50-70 pound Thresher Sharks in Capitola and on the Westside of Santa Cruz. The Sardines are moving in with the warm water and things are going to be good this weekend. No Albacore news due to wind that may blow until Tuesday.
June 18
The fishing for inshore fish is the way to go due to the afternoon winds. There has been consistent amounts of Halibut, Thresher Sharks, and Rock fish being caught from Capitola to the Natural Bridges area. The winds are up around noon so come early.
June 17
The wind did not blow until noon so the early birds got the worm. There were some nice Halibut caught near Pleasure Point in 40-50 feet of water. The Sardines are thick near the cement ship in 30-50 feet of water. The winds are expected to be blowing for a few days so go early.
June 16
The fishing was decent for the few anglers who went fishing today. The Rock fish continue to bite at the Mile Buoy in 55-65 feet of water. The Halibut are still being caught near Capitola in 25-45 feet of water. The Seabass are still cruising the kelp edges near Pleasure Point. The Striped Bass are still on the bite on the southern beaches. I did not get any reports of Albacore today due to 15 knot winds at the weather buoy. We will have to wait for the wind to come down and go to the warm water.
