Last night I didn't catch any stripers and now I know why. This was supposed to be my fish. Jim Reed caught this 16 pounder in the surf yesterday before I had a chance to get out there. There were some other stripers taken as well, mostly schoolies but a few others ran into the teens. Surfperch were also in the buckets yesterday. 

   Almost all of the halibut fishermen went without fish today, but these gents landed three keepers on the troll between Hog and Marshall. Dead bait worked fine for them. Better weather tomorrow should give the drifters a chance to get even.
