A trip aboard the Kahuna on Saturday, November 23, produced 260 rockfish and 8 lingcod for 26 anglers, reported Carol Jones of Kahuna Sportfishing. A bottomfish adventure on November 21 yielded 200 rockfish, while a trip on November 16 produced 150 rockfish for 15 anglers. Fishing for rockfish, lingcod and halibut is going good out of Santa Cruz when the weather cooperates with anglers. “The swell came up some today but the winds stayed down,” said Todd Fraser of Bayside Marine. “There were some good scores of crab in 150- 220 feet of water up the coast and straight out. The rockfish action was good in the deep water near Davenport.
