Anglers are tossing out plastic grubs, Berkley Sand Worms, shrimp and bloodworms for the tasty perch. When the weather cooperates with anglers, anglers are picking up sanddabs in 150-220 feet of water near Pajaro.. “There have been some incidental salmon caught and released by anglers targeting sanddabs,” he said. “Soquel Creek and San Lorenzo River have VOL.38 • ISS. 5 been producing some quality steelhead when the streams are fishable,” said Fraser. “The steelhead are biting roe, nightcrawlers, pink worms and Little Cleos.” The Kahuna out of Moss Landing is in the boatyard for the annual maintenance this February. Anglers boarding boats out of Chris’ Fishing Trips in Monterey are bagging a mixture of sanddabs, sole and Dungeness crabs when the weather allows the boats to get out. The latest trip by 7 anglers aboard the Checkmate produced 300 sanddabs, 15 rock crabsand 48 Dungeness crab. The rockfish season ended with limits all around for anglers fishing aboard the California Dawn. Photo courtesy of CALIFORNIA DAWN SPORTFISHING, Berkeley.
