MONTEREY BAY KING SALMON
by Dan Bacher
(Monterey) King salmon fishing appears to be rebounding after several tough days in Monterey Bay, according to Carol Jones of Kahuna Sporfishing.
The 18 anglers aboard the
Kahuna caught 15 salmon while mooching anchovies on the south side of Monterey Bay on Monday, April 30, said Jones. The fish were up high feeding on krill. The kings averaged 15 to 16 pounds.
We dont plan on doing any rockfish trips until the salmon action tapers off, she noted.
Chris Arcoleo of Chriss Fishing Trips in Monterey said, We have been staying on this side of the canyon, and the boats came in with under a fish per rod, with the
Checkmate having the best score at 7 salmon for 14 fishermen on April 30. The
Caroline returned with 5 fish for 15 anglers, while the
Star of Monterey had 7 fish for 20 passengers the same day.
Chriss will be booking rockfish trips daily in addition to the salmon trips, and they will be heading south to Point Sur for the quality rockfish, interest and weather permitting.
Halibut are beginning to show off Santa Cruz. One boat fishing near the Mile Buoy ended up with 2 quality halibut, said Todd Fraser of Bayside Marine. The anglers were drifting dead sardines in 70 feet of water.
