Salmon fishing remains pretty slow. We are boating just a few fish each trip. Cod fishing is now open however and the catches have been very good. We have a half day trip this Saturday and the longer 7 hour trip on Sunday.

cod fishing is now open. we found the best action on Black Rockfish on the local reef North of Santa Cruz in 50 feet of water. Salmon remains hit and miss. Monday we had our best trip landing 15 big fish for 18 anglers. while friday was tough. we only boated a couple of keepers.

OK , things are lookin up so far today (Monday) they have 11 big Salmon for 19 guys as of 10am ! Hopefully this is just the begining! *******Remember cod season opens Wednesday. We have plenty of room.

Salmon fishing remains spotty. We had 3 fish and lost a couple on our last trip, although the does seems to be more fish moving into the bay on new krill gathering. Cod fishing season will open on Wednesday may 1st. We still have room on that trip. The rock piles appear to have good school of fish on the. It should be good!

Well the bite looked like it was gonna happen on Friday. Velocity came back with 15 Salmon for 22 people. It was a really nice morning bite with steady action. But around 9am it just shut off and stayed off for our Sunday trip too. They only managed to get 3 fish in the boat and lost 3 others. Bait does seem to be moving into the shallows off Santa Cruz. Hopefully that and the recent winds will pick up the bite.

Quick update: Salmon decided to bite today. It's 8:30am and Velocity is already reporting 11 fish in the boat. Things are looking up!

Salmon started pretty slow in the bay on Saturday. Then on Monday we got blown out from high winds which may help the bite. Next trip may take us north out of the bay chasing good reports up near pigeon pt. Weather permitting.
