If it doesn't rain too hard the fishing should be good this weekend. Actually, the fish probably don't care about about the rain, but you know what I mean. The water is still around 58 degrees and the halibut are still biting. Sardines have shown up outside and can be caught by finding the ones flipping on the surface and casting sabikis to them. I launched at 4:00 this afternoon and was back by 6:00 with a 25# halibut from McLures Beach, 30' of water on a live sardine. Other fish have come from 10 Mile, the Day Beach and the bar, meaning there's fish all around if you are lucky enough to hook up. Rockfish are biting well at Point Reyes, especially if you are fishing in the Cowboy's boat. Also, if you find a school of black or blue rockfish, even if they won't bite well, try dragging a lingcod lure through their midst. The lings are starting to trickle in with fish to 18# coming in the last few days. With luck the bite will get even better before it gets closed.
