    Central Coast Rocks and Rockfish January 2022

    It’s a New Year and I am behind a month already; but here is a little about my first two weeks In January. I’ve had to watch the tides, the swell and the weather as it has just not been very good fishing conditions so far this year. The rainy December also made it difficult to climb up and...

    Central Coast Rocks and Reefs Last Two Trips in October

    Late report as usual, it’s getting to be a habit. Fishing has been inconsistent this fall. I caught a couple of fish on the first cast and a couple of fish on the last cast (finally got the second fish and quit). I want to only catch enough fish in a week for four meals (two for the wife and...

    Oops.. forgot this picture in the above post

    This is one of our favorite ways to prepare our fish: Sauteed with an easy orange sauce. I much prefer orange than lemon with my fish. Fried rice goes nicely with the fish.

    Central Coast Rocks and Reefs

    First two trips in October Excuse me again for being so late. Had some problems with updating my computer and figuring out how to make everything work again with the camera and pictures. October is usually one of the best times to fish the Central Coast. The water usually calms down a bit and...

    Fall Stripers

    Good Fishing! The Master is at work once again. So nice to see you reporting again. I understand how it is, not getting around to posting much anymore myself. I've got lots of pictures of lots of trips and just don't get it done.

    Central Coast Rocks in June

    Another late report from the Central Coast. This is getting to be a habit. I have pictures backed up since June. So here we go. Weather and water has made things difficult this year. The wind starts blowing earlier, the water is rougher and fishing has been really difficult. I’ve used up a...

    April on the Central Coast

    Another late report as usual. Some random thoughts about fishing this Spring. I was battling the wind and surf the whole month of April. Not many bites, but I did catch some fish. Did manage to catch some fish on every bite that I had. We’ve lived on the Central Coast for the last 16 years...

    January 2021 on the Central Coast

    Here’s one for a rainy day. Late as always. Fishing has just been plain slow. January was no exception. Four weeks but I only got three trips in because of the big rain at the end of the month. First trip of the month, I did catch a nice cab - but that was it. The fish became Mexican fish...

    December 2020 on the Central Coast

    I only got two trips in during December because of the weather - rough water and wind. Some days, up to 15 foot waves. When the waves pick up like that, the fish move out into deeper water. Besides, fishing under those conditions is not safe even if the fish were there. Since I am retired, I...

    November on the Central Coast

    Since this report is a month late, I’m putting all of my November trips together. October and November have turned out to be the two best months of the year for fishing. Water and weather have been good. I keep a fishing log of my trips and since we moved up to the Central Coast 15 years ago...

    Central Coast Rocks and Reefs - October

    I know this a late report. Is there any other kind? At least from Frozendog. This is just a bunch of random thoughts about fishing on the Central Coast in October. Fishing picked up in October. Much better weather, water and wind. Fall is definitely the best fishing weather, in my opinion...

    Late One from the Central Coast September 1

    I’m way behind in reports. Someday, maybe, I’ll catch up. Low tide was at 4:50AM at -02 ft. High tide was at 11:15 at 4.5ft. Started fishing about daybreak. I like to get out early because I know that the wind is going to blow every afternoon. With the minus tide, I was able to get out...

    Sooooo......My Vacation was finally approved......

    Amen! That's the problem I have going fishing now - just getting down the rocks to the water. Each year, I lose at least one spot because I don't have the confidence I used to climbing up and down those rocks. I've spent many a night camping at the south jetty, but the last time I was there...

    Short Trip To Monterey Bay

    Good fishing and travelogue quality pictures. Thank you for all the work you put in on these pictures. I know how much me and my wife fight over just posting two or three.

    Central Coast 7/23/20

    Short and unsweetened. No hits, no runs, no fishies! I fished an entire tidal cycle and didn’t even get one bite! Not even a suicidal cabezon. Dinner The pizza is another sign of Covid-19. Whenever I came home with no fish, my wife would take pity on me and take me to the Chinese Buffet...
