crabbing from the pier with snares loaded with anchovies or squid. He added,“ Striped bass are still landed from the beaches and shore areas at Mussel Rock and Mori’ s Point with big topwater lures such as Pencil Poppers or subsurface lures like Miki’ s. Snares continue to be very popular for crabbers.”

MONTEREY BAY

For Big Lingcod & Rockfish, Target Point Sur, Point Lopez

MOSS LANDING – Charter boat anglers are catching rockfish and lingcod off Carmel, Point Sur and further south off Point Lopez when the weather cooperates with anglers. The boats weren’ t

able to make it out of the Moss Landing and Monterey Harbors with the arrival of a storm on Sunday, November 26, but found solid action before the storm

The 21 anglers on the latest trip by the Kahuna to Point Lopez caught 18 canary rockfish, 42 copper rockfish, 41 lingcod, 45 assorted rockfish and105 vermilion rockfish, reported Carol Jones of Kahuna Sportfishing. The anglers hooked the bottomfish on an array of shrimp flies, bars, jigs and swimbaits.

On a trip to Point Sur on November 24, the 20 passengers landed 4 cabezon, 20 copper rockfish, 12 lingcod, 139 rockfish and 35 vermilion rockfish aboard the Kahuna. J & M Sport Fishing in Monterey also reported solid rockfish and lingcod fishing.

Six anglers bagged 60 rockfish and 20 Dungeness crabs on a trip by the Sur Randy on November 22. The 25 anglers aboard the Chubasco landed 10 lingcod, 198 rockfish, and 30 Dungeness crabs on November 21.

“ It was another great day on the Monterey Bay today,” said Todd Fraser of Bayside Marine in Santa Cruz on November 25.“ There were all kinds of rockfish and lingcod caught up the coast. I saw two different halibut from Davenport caught in 80 feet of water.

“ The crab fishing improved near 4 Mile. The weather was flat calm again,” said Fraser.

Ken Stagnaro of Stagnaro’ s Fishing Trips reported that the 28 anglers on his most recent half-day trip aboard the Velocity landed 200 rockfish off the Santa Cruz County Coast while enjoying calm seas.

Dungeness Crabs Top City Scene

SAN FRANCISCO- Angling pressure inside the bay was non-existent, while others tried for Gungeness crab along city beaches.

“ Wish I could tell you something,” exclaimed Stefanie Scott at Gus’ Discount Bait and Tackle in San Francisco.

“ We’ ve got lots of guys coming in here, but they’ re not after fish, just after crab. They’ re going to Baker or Ocean Beach with snares, or to Pacifica Pier with hoops. The crabbing is a little slow. Maybe we need a full moon,” she related.

Anglers belonging to the More Than Fishing Facebook group found good success on perch along Ocean Beach this week, with grubs and sandcrabs both producing.
