The halibut bite in the mouth of the bay is finally starting. It's not red hot yet, and the divers aren't seeing any, but yesterday the Carters landed a 23 and 26 pound halibut there. Better numbers of  halibut are coming from further in the bay, mostly south of Pelican Point to Marshall, but the bar fish are larger on average. A few halibut were caught at McClures Beach and on Ten Mile Beach as well. Fair to good rockfish action outside with some nice vermillion and coppers showing.
