King salmon have started to return to the Santa Cruz Harbor, and anglers are already catching some from the jetties and surrounding waters. This is great news, as the major return of salmon is still one year away, when the catch will be a year older than the two-year-olds we’re seeing today. As the salmon continue to arrive, it is important to fish only from legally designated areas of the harbor while also adhering to fishing regulations.

You know fall is just around the corner when you hear thunder.

It is that back-to-school time of year, so I hope you fit in some great fishing during the summer. If you still have that desire to get out on the water, there are still some prime local fishing picks.
