Two giant black sea bass at Anacapa

bsb3.jpgbsb2.jpgbsb1.jpgNo love from the halibut or WSBs today at Santa Cruz.  THe water temp had dropped 3 degrees from last week and nothing was biting.  Ran over to Anacapa and instantly got a double hookup.  They were pulling like trains but we landed both of them after about an hour on light tackle.  One was about 100 pounds and the other about 150.  Both safely released. 

Two white sea bass and a halibut today

Dive trip today, 4 big bat rays

I took some guys from VAW-113 at Point Mugu out diving today.  Conditions were awesome.  I threw some frozen squid over while they were diving and got 4 bat rays.  Not much of a fish report but there wasn’t much fishing going on.

Two halibut, 5 batrays, strange weather

cruz101110.jpgSlow day fishing today unless you like bat rays.  In between the bat rays, we got two halibut,  a calico and a couple of rockfish.  We had every kind or weather from dead calm to sunny to overcast, windy and foggy.  Water temp was 62-64, moon and tides just right.  Sometimes you do everything right and still don’t catch much.  Pics to follow.

Kayak trip today but got a nice halibut too

FUJI III took a load of kayakers out to the islands today.  I did a little fishing around Anacapa while they were paddling and got a short barracuda, a short yellowtail and a 25 pound flattie.  Sorry, no camera on the boat today.  Great weather.  Maybe we will have a good fall bite since the summer was terrible.
