has been the top location for the kayaks . Private boaters have been finding limits in the late afternoons between the buoys – they aren ’ t quick and easy , but they can be found . We went north above Pedro Point on this week , and there were a number of fish taken right off of the Silver Saddle outside of Thornton Beach . The Golden Gate Fleet was concentrating in this area . There are salmon from the surfline at Surfer ’ s Beach north to Miramar ,” said Baxter .

The boats out of Chris ’ Fishing Trips in Monterey reported great fishing also . For example , the 18 anglers aboard the Checkmate reported in on July 8 with ¾ limits of rockfish and 36 lingcod ( limits ) for 18 anglers .
The 33 anglers aboard the Star of Monterey checked in with 300 rockfish for 33 anglers . The 14 anglers aboard the Caroline the day before landed limits of rockfish , 1 lingcod and 4 horse mackerel .
Trollers continue to bag some quality Chinook salmon inside Monterey Bay .
“ The salmon fishing remained the same with some boats catching their limits and others catching 1-3 fish ,” reported Todd Fraser of Bayside Marine in Santa Cruz on Sunday , July 9 . “ The majority of the action was straight out of Santa Cruz in 110-140 feet of water . There were some limits caught straight out in 160-220 feet of water .”
“ The salmon are still feeding on anchovies so green lures and Krippled Anchovies have been the best bet ,” noted Fraser .
“ There were some nice halibut caught in Capitola due to the recent squid spawn from Pajaro to Moss Landing . The rock fishing was good up the coast but there was some wind
near Año Nuevo .”
“ The inshore fishing for the beach anglers was good at New Brighton . The wind was down all morning , but it did blow hard at noon ,” Fraser explained .
“ The few boats who have tried to go look for albacore have been blown out before they got to the break ,” he concluded .

PENINSULA SHORELINE
Stripers Invade The Beaches !
SAN FRANCISCO -A large number of striped bass have moved in along Pacifica and Ocean Beaches while others fan cast the surf for perch .
Hair raisers , Miki Jigs and topwater lures were the top recommendation this week for striped bass along the surf , according to Stefanie Scott at Gus ’ Discount Bait and Tackle .
“ It was like a light switch ! One week they were catching one here and there , and by mid last week everyone was out there 24 / 7 catching a striper ,” he exclaimed .
“ There ’ s been guys fishing long shifts , from sun up to sun down just to catch the perfect time when they move in ,” she added .
Perch fishing is also a good bet , with anglers working both Baker and Ocean Beaches with shrimp or pile worms . “ They ’ re also catching stripers on the shrimp and worms ,” she added .
