Central coast fish report

We (5 kayakers) left Anaheim at 12:00 a.m last Saturday morning got to Leffingwell landing around 5 a.m. and on the water around 6 a.m. we went South. Super easy beach launch and landing. Condition was not bad with some 3 -4 foot swell with heavy fog early morning but the wind came up around 10 a.m. We caught a lot of Gopher rock fish and Blue rock fish. I was able to catch a very nice 5 lbs. Red on squid which was very teasty spring rolls.

We fished Sunday morning from 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. with perfect lake like condition as you can see from the photos.
A lot of bigger Blue rock fish on Sunday as we went north. I lost a 8-10 lbs. hitcher Lingcod had him on the lip gripper but he broke my lip gripper due to violent head shake.

This was our first time kayaking there what a magical place, the beach launch and landing was super easy with 1/2 it shore break. Can't wait to go back because there a ling with my name on it, in fact I lost two legal ling on Sunday heart breaker.

Very nice! I was at Morro Bay with the family that weekend and wish I had brought my kayak. I’ll be heading up to timber cover in a few weeks looking for some lingcod and reds.

That was a good experience. I need a fish finder. You guys took all the fish.

Love launching from there! You should sign up for the Rock Fish Slamdown September 14th! It's the one event I look forward to every year.

Go to 99 Ranch and pick up a pack of frozen baby octopus. Use the tentacles on the hooks of a flatfall jig. Got my first big Ling at the tournament last year on that. and lots of rockfish.

Nice report. It is so windy up there most the time, it really makes one appreciate the calm days.

Yes it is a magical place. A fish finder is helpful for sure there is a high spot about a mile out that comes up from 90ish feet to 50. lots of kelp to fish too. As for the Slam Down, don't miss it. Fun tournament and a great pot luck afterwards. Hear the winner gets a trip to Cedros this year. Great raffle at the awards ceremony too. Congrats on the big red, sorry about the ling.
