    This father-son team are obviously terrific natural fishermen, as they've been reading this report about fishing on Tomales Bay and still caught fish. The halibut weighed 11 pounds and was jigged up behind Hog Island and the ling was the young man's first fish. 

    Team Barton found a lingcod hole, I think. Reno's fish weighed 22 pounds. These smiles are because I asked where they were fishing.
    There were a few salmon caught today on some beautifully flat water. Not too many, but a few. One boat limited by mooching squid and another boat trolled up a limit of salmon on blue label herring. The area from the Keyholes to the Trees was still the preferred location and 80 feet of water off of McClure's Beach is, some would say, a Charlie Foxtrot of trollers and moochers. There's fish there, a few at least, but you'd better like close company.

The lingcod, along with a few rockfish, came from outside the bay by Bird Rock.
