Meanwhile , the Kahuna out of Moss Landing will be in the boatyard in January and February as the boat is repowered for the upcoming rockfish and salmon seasons .
“ We are all busy in the boat yard with installing new engines , sanding , painting , etc . We will be looking at March to get the boat back in the water ,” said Carol Jones of Kahuna Sportfishing .
When the weather allows , boats out of J & M Sportfishing in Monterey have been pursuing sanddabs and crabs in
Monterey Bay . The 4 anglers on the latest trip on the Chubasco on January 15 landed 38 sanddabs and 20 crabs , while the 11 anglers aboard the boat on January 14 bagged 180 sanddabs and 22 crabs .
Nine anglers aboard the Caroline out of Chris ’ Fishing Trips on Sunday , January 21 landed 16 Dungeness crabs and lots of tasty sanddabs .

Surfperch Rule City Beaches
SAN FRANCISCO - Big swells currently pounding the coastline at the press time , keeping anglers away from trying anything . Before these conditions , fishing was excellent for a variety of surf perch in both San Francisco and San Mateo Counties .
Several anglers from the More than Fishing group on Facebook continued to drop the hammer on feisty surf perch during pristine conditions the week of January 8th . Motor oil grubs , sand crabs and Berkeley sand worms were all working .
Inside the bay , Stefanie Scott at Gus ’ Discount Bait and Tackle had little enthusiasm . “ Its slow . Just slow . But you can buy some snacks and watch sealions !” she laughed .
They ’ re still down there at Fort Point and Vanness Pier going for rock crabs and an occasional perch ,” she related .
“ If you ’ re looking for herring , they ’ re getting some in Sausalito right now . Some guys are using Sabikis , some are using nets . It ’ s on and off ; some days they ’ re in close , other days they ’ re out far ,” she tipped .

Nicolaus Castro headed out to the beach near Pacifica on December 24 and battled this impressive perch .
