Point Lopez Trips Produce Big Lingcod , Rockfish
MOSS LANDING – The bottomfish trips down to Point Lopez continue to produce superb lingcod and rockfish action .
Twenty-two anglers fishing at Point Lopez aboard the Kahuna on September 28 experienced “ another stellar day with limits of lingcod and rockfish . Most of the fish were vermilion up to a whopping 10 pounds ,” said Carol Jones of Kahuna Sportfishing . The total score was 11 copper rockfish , 44 lingcod , 20 canary rockfish , 82 assorted rockfish and 107 vermilion rockfish
Point Sur trips have been also producing solid action , with most trips shelling out limits of rockfish and some limits of lingcod , Jones reported . The last trip on September 26 produced 135 rockfish , 5 cabezon , 8 lingcod and 10 cabezon released for 14 people .
A local trip produced limits of rockfish and 5 lingcod for a charter of 9 anglers on Saturday , September 20 . They fished off shrimp flies , tipped with squid , off Point Pinos for their fish .

The 24 anglers aboard the Checkmate bagged limits of rockfish and 2 lingcod on October 1 , while the 6 anglers on the Caroline nailed ¾ limits of rockfish and 2 lingcod .
“ The fishing was good for the anglers who worked up the coast for Rock fish early in the morning ,” reported Todd Fraser of Bayside Marine in Santa Cruz . “ There were some nice lingcod caught near Natural Bridges .
“ The white seabass are still being caught near Monterey . The wind was blowing hard in the afternoon so come early .
For striped bass , Fraser

along the city shoreline .
Charles Aquino was fishing near the Cliffhouse on Ocean Beach on 9 / 26 and found a slabsized 13.5 ” barred surf perch using a 2 ” Berkeley sandworm on a Carolina rig . Victor Harvey caught a 23 ” striped bass while fishing sand crabs in the Sloat area of Ocean Beach .
Action inside of the bay has slowed to a crawl , according to Stefanie Scott at Gus ’ Discount Bait and Tackle .
“ I wish I could tell you more ,” she exclaimed . “ There ’ s a couple of guys at the Van Ness pier trying for perch with squid and shrimp , but they ’ re catching more jacksmelt than anything !”
Interest on halibut was slow at the press time .
