Hit the SC Wharf with my wife and son for the second weekend in a row. We fished from 10:30 to 330pm. The "Woodies on the Wharf" car event was in full swing so parking was at a premium... There were a few fishing spots with signs marked "No fishing or crabbing" due to the event in addition to...

I saw his post. Shame our paths did not cross, or if they did we failed to notice.

Hit the pier with my Wife and Son in the early afternoon. The pier was busy, lots of tourists and lots of people fishing. We found a spot on the rail near the Dolphin and dropped our hoops and lines. A sabiki dropped straight down yielded small shiner perch and baby bocaccio with relative...

"The pier was partially destroyed by high surf during January's historic winter storms. Along with the pier, the most extensive damage within the state beach is at the campground, and seawall as well. A farewell event is being planned in conjunction with a beach cleanup happening Saturday, Feb...

I had one of those. Held up well against the Hali in my profile photo. Just don't dunk it, it will seize I can confirm that =).

Thank you for information. Are the beaches next the pier closed? Lockdown or otherwise?

I had planned to fish the Wharf that same day as well but after looking at the tides and swell, I did not go. The tide was going out all day and dropped to -1.1ft from 5ft or so, lots of movement. Also swells were forecast to be big (relatively), lots more movement. In my limited experience...

Took my wife and son to Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf on 4/18. We heard the pier was open which it was, several fisherman spotted as we drove along the wharf. We found our spot and started fishing around 11am. About an hour in we were payed a visit by two Santa Cruz policemen on quads. They...

How was the fishing? What do folks catch out there?

He earned his new boat rod and reel this trip. He caught more fish than anyone on the boat, myself included. He listened to the captain and other anglers to be in the right place at the right time the entire trip and it payed off.

There was a small school of anchovies and a much thicker concentration of medium sized Jacksmelt at Pacifica last Friday. I have been to Santa Cruz a few times in the recent past and have not seen any concentration of bait from shore.

I caught a tiny sand dab in my snare loop this weekend off the Santa Cruz wharf. It seemed the poor little guy would be dead for sure but as soon as l released the tension on the loop around his head he flopped back in the water and swam away. On the flip side of that last year in the same spot...

Excellent read! Great idea!

Cement ship pier is fenced off even further back than it used to be. You can barely get out of the surf on the pier now.

Worst drama in Santa Cruz are tourists asking questions. The drive over 17 isnt that bad and the fishing is good, why go north?

Great report! Good job planting those seeds, the future of our religion sport depends on exactly the interactions you described. What bait did that beautiful ling hit?

Long time forum lurker, first time post. Here goes... I grew up fishing. I fished brook trout and crayfish in my backyard everyday after school until I moved away from the country in middle school. I forgot fishing until my son came of age to fish. Urban fresh water fishing is not really my...
