Sixty-thousand fish, all a part of the fall brood and each about four inches long, were dumped from the truck, through a wide rubber hose and into a specially made holding pen that was about 54 feet long by 30 feet wide and 14 feet deep. When the operation was complete, the pen was pulled to a mooring between the inner and outer break of the harbor.
The delicate operation was quite a spectacle. A crowd gathered at the end of Johnson Pier to watch as the fish splashed into the pen and shimmered in the sun.
The work is a joint venture by the Coastside Fishing Club and the California Department of Fish and Game, and it is funded through private club donations and proceeds from the salmon stamp necessary to fish for Salmon in California waters.
Mark Gorelnik is a member of the fishing club’s board of directors. He said the project is intended to introduce the fish to saltwater while bypassing the hazards of the inland delta. Salmon populations had diminished greatly in recent years. Gorelnik credits the hatchery trucking program, in part, with bringing back salmon in large numbers. This year fishermen expect a banner year.

Hows this for a report!

Paddled out of the Santa Cruz harbor Monday morning. Started trolling when we got to the buoy. Headed another 3 miles out to 180 feet of water and hooked up with a 30 inch salmon. Perfect conditions, no wind, glassy water, partly sunny. Tried to find where all the motor boats were headed, but they were too far out. Still, more than happy to have hooked up with salmon. Did 12 miles in total, but my buddy has a sail on his kayak and he towed me home when the breeze picked. Nice buddy!

Coastside member “Seadevil” gets his 9 year old son Dylan Macias his first salmon out of Halfmoon Bay, a whopping 15 lber…. Check out member fishing reports for more great pictures and posts.

One of the updates to the site today was the release of our new logo. While it retains the traditional colors and shape, the new logo sports some attitude.

Have a look..

ps This homepage will get its new logo this weekend

Today, Coastside Fishing Club launched its own, one-of-kind live online VHF radio feed.

Starting with Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz by end of week and other planned stations in the works, Coastside will bring live VHF traffic from recreational boats to its subscribed members. The Coastside network is planned to have coverage out to the tuna grounds.

Here is an offer too good to refuse from Baja Pirates.  A Coastside informal derby down in Baja!

Chime in on this forum page La Paz Trip if you can join us or have any questions.

Hi Rick,

We had talked about a Coastside fishing trip in April toLa Paz. I have had several Coastsiders asking about this at theSacramentoshow so I thought I would drop you a line. A good time in April, Moon phase and all would be April 18th thru the 22nd. This is a Wednesday thru Sunday deal, fishing 3 days, 2 people per room and boat. Pricing covers boat,license,hotel, breakfast on fishing days, lunch, water and soda on the boat, vacuumn packing and freezing, free use of our tackle(Avet reels/ugly sticks) and daily transportation to and from town. Dinners, bait and tips are extra

2012 Price for the package is $850.00. If we get more than 8 I’ll cut the price to $800 and throw in a full on pig luau on the beach for the last night.

Now flights. We handle those as well. Normally we fly our Northern California Customers to Los Cabos and then transport them toLa Pazvia 12 person vans. This is about a 2 hour drive each way. Normal van ride cost is $65 per person round trip. These are private vans so you can stop for Beer, etc.

I checked on direct flights today and they are around $530 SFO to Cabo on those specific dates. Flights are beginning to go up so the earlier we book the better the prices are.Alaskais the big carrier flying to and fromCSAto Los Cabos.

Let me know if this will work for you guys!

All the best,
