👤 Emily R.hey everyone! fished at the pier in santa cruz today, misty as heck but it was nice. started early around 6 am, water was a bit chilly but got a couple of rock cods! used a squid bait on the bottom, they were biting better as the sun came up. ended up with 4 decent ones, around 2-3 lbs each. the wind picked up a bit but didn’t bother me too much. just chillin', had a great time out there! now to figure out how to cook 'em right.
