Same experience as Viking, Calicos seem to be a bit scarce. In the surf zone last weekend - raked baits (probably short halibut), big Smelt on the Luckycraft. Some Calicos are mixed in around the Doheney reefs and extending out along the pipe. I haven't hit the north kelp lately, but may check it out this weekend along with halibut drifting on the way back. Bait schools were findable in deeper water last week. I'll be out again Sat or Sun in the late morning through the afternoon.
