Taken from Bayside Marine:
April 3 "OPENING DAY"
The first day of Salmon has started good with some of the anglers coming in with limits as early as 8:00am. The fish were hitting trolled lures in 250-300 feet of water down 50-100 feet. The top lures have been Krippled Anchovies, Krippled Herrings, Chrome Apexes, R.S.K.'s and Blue Hoochies. The bite was good near Moss Landing and in the East side of the Soquel Hole. I am still gathering reports so I will update this again later today! The water was flat calm with a small swell and no wind. The weather pattern is expected to hold for the next week.
The final reports came in and most of the anglers caught about a fish a rod if not more. There were some solid reports from 36'47/121'50, 36'45/121'52, 36'42/121'51, and 36'51/121'57. The anglers who were fishing the East side of the Hole did better then anglers who were straight out. The early bite was the key today due to the full moon. The few anglers who headed up the coast near Davenport did not find many fish. The water was nice for most of the day but there was some afternoon wind. The fish were caught in the deep edges of the Canyons down 55-145 feet on the troll. The mooch bite was slow today with reports of one fish a boat at best. The best bet is to troll until you find a bait ball and work that area. The wind is expected to be calm again in the morning. Don't forget about Daylight Savings. We will be open at 5:00 am |
