Sept. 5
The Salmon fishing is still decent in 70-120 feet of water near Capitola and the Mile Buoy. The Salmon are 22-28 inch fish and there are a few bigger ones in the mix. The Albacore anglers are finding some fish down near the Davidson today but the wind is coming up. The next window of calmer weather looks like Thursday or Friday. There are still some good reports of Halibut being caught on the west side of Santa Cruz. The Rock fishing has improved now that the swell is down. The Sea Bass fishing should get better as the full moon starts to come around.
Sept. 4
The Albacore bite is still going well for anglers who are fishing near 36'01/122'54 and 36'07/122'50. The scores are ranging from 5-25 fish a boat and the water is flat calm. The Salmon are still being caught from Capitola to the Lighthouse in 90-130 feet of water. The Rock fishing improved today because the swell came down. I spoke to Captain Jimmy who had limits of nice Rock fish up the coast near 3 Mile Beach. The Sea Bass fishing is still hit and miss in Monterey but if you put in a day you should get one.
Sept. 3
The Salmon are still being caught near the Harbor in 70-90 feet of water. The Sardines moved out of the Harbor so the area in front of the Harbor is doing good. The Albacore bite is hot out 75 miles near the Davidson. The scores are ranging from 10-30 a boat and the water is flat calm. The best numbers were around 35'59/122'54, 36'01/122'50 and 36'03/122'55. The weather is expected to hold for one more day!

The Albacore bite was good today near the Davidson. The best numbers 35'59/122'54 and 36'00/122'51. The run from Santa Cruz is about 75 miles. The winds are down!

Sept. 1
The winds are down but the swell came up today. There were not many boats out due to the swell breaking across the harbor at low tide. The swell is expected to start to drop so we hope the weekend will be good. The south swell could help the warm water push up closer to Santa Cruz. There are still some Sea Bass being caught near Monterey. There were some Salmon caught out in front of Santa Cruz in 70-100 feet of water.
Aug. 31
The fishing is still going well for the inshore fishing near Capitola and Santa Cruz. There were a few Sea Bass caught near Monterey and Pajaro. The winds were down but a new south swell is pushing through. The swell is going to last through tomorrow but the winds are going to stay down. There were not many anglers on the water today so we hope to get more information in the morning.
Aug. 30
The fishing remained the same today with good action on the inshore species up and down the coast. The winds are still blowing hard in the afternoon so get out here early. The Sea Bass fishing is still good for some and slow for others. There have been a few Salmon caught near the Mile Buoy and the Lighthouse today. The Lingcod and Rock fishing remains good near the Harbor and on the local reefs near Natural Bridges. The winds are expected to come down on the offshore waters for the next few days. It is time to go for the Albacore.
