The sardines and mackerel are still abundant in the bay but the halibut bite has slowed to almost nothing. Maybe they're full. A few halibut are coming from in front of Dillon Beach. Ten Mile Beach also had some action, mostly from the North parking lot to the old Coast Guard lifesaving station. Lots of needlefish schooling along the beach in that area. Krill were jumping out of the brown-tinted water out in 25 fathoms. There's enough feed out there that even the rockfishing is on the slow side. Most boats that tried had slow limits of overstuffed browns, coppers and gophers. Tuna water starts at 19 miles out. Four albacore were caught just outside of the Point Reyes waverider buoy. The forecast is good so go get some feathers wet this weekend.
