I am organizing a deep sea fishing trip on May 7 targeting rockfish. The cost is $67 for adults and $42.95 for age 15 and under. Anyone who is 16 or older will need a California fishing license (available for 1 day [$19,18] or 1 year timeframes). The boat is scheduled to be on the water from 6:30 am to 11:00 am. The time back at dock varies depending on weather, fish bite, etc. They ask us to check in at 1718 Brommer Street, Sant Cruz, CA at 5:30 am (yes AM); we will need to meet at Prince of Peace around 4:45 am.
If you have a rod/conventional reel combo that holds 25 lb test you can bring it, if not, rod rentals are available for $14. I have tackle (hooks/weights) set ups that everyone can use, no need to purchase those. You will also need to bring $10 to have your fish cleaned, it is optional but the deckhands don’t make much money from the boat; they count on $1 per fish cleaning fee and tips to make it worth their while.
Email Mr. Nishijima ASAP if you are interested. Space is limited!
