    So Kevin Fogal comes to Dillon Beach for 24 hours and it becomes the Fogal show. Last night, standing literally in Gage's footprints from a half-hour before, Kevin caught this nice striper while perch fishing. He and the guys around him (and yes, Gage before him) did well on the surfperch.

    Today Kevin went out with Dennis Carter on the Predator and they landed three keeper salmon and lost another. Most of the boats were working out in 270-300 feet of water off of Bodega Head and Tomales Point. The magic depth depended on the boat, with guys hooking fish from the surface down to 120' OTW. The consensus seemed to be that the fish were higher first thing in the morning and then went deeper. The fish came on the usual assortment of gear, Anchovy Specials, RSK's, watermelon Apexes, purple haze hoochies, etc.. Inside the bay one boat caught a limit of halibut for two guys that fished, I think, way in the back in the shallows. They were the exception for the weekend with most guys struggling to catch one if they were lucky.
