With the cold water in the halibut bite should be over for the year. So, to show me how much I really know, the halibut on the bar went on the bite today. One boat had 2 to 26# and another boat had 6 to 22#. A third boat remains fishing as I write this but I hear he has fish as well. Four halibut were caught yesterday off the day beach on dead bait but today's fish seem to like the live smelt. Limits of rockfish and a few lings for those that tried for them. The red crabbing has been good as well, even though crabbers have to sort through five small dungeness for every keeper red. I hope the dungeness can grow another inch in the next two weeks.
