Tomats& myself Fished Santa Cruz together.I"ll let him give his report :).
Started out at Scorpion Anchorge ( pier) paddled west to Caven Point for One C-bass . Was told By another kayaker (Stingray) that His Guide told him of kelp forest was to the east. So paddle east No kelp:(. Was way to far with time we had. Found out it's over hour Plus paddle. So we started fishing Scorpion Rocks and drifting east work the area. Only to pick up one rock fish. Work the Island all the way to Little Scorpion Anchorage (Rock out crop). Then started working back to Pier. With no luck, But did see one big Butt swimming wow. Nice and thick :).
Was talking to some campers they said It was the first day the red crabs moved in. Just bad timiing going to Santa Cruz.
It was fun getting away from the mainland. I just wish I could have given better fish count.
