Rock cod takes spotlight over salmon in Santa Barbara fishing
Rock cod fishing around Santa Barbara by 12 mile deep water boats yields 1410 rock cod for 118 passengers and no recent salmon limits. Salmon remain 5 to 10 pounds with some over 20, while bait supply tightens as anchovy becomes scarce due to fogged spotting planes hindering quota attainment. Lopez Lake trout limits rise from stocking 20,000, with many still caught on floating cheese or salmon eggs. Bass remains spotty though crappie in 1 to 1.5 pounds common. Cachuma Lake bass fishing strong early morning and late afternoon. Trout fishing generally good with occasional five pounders during the season.
