Slightly better numbers today but still a long way from the bite of a few weeks ago. The same places are holding the fish, from the Keyholes (38° 9.5') to the Trees (38° 13.5'), mostly in 60 to 85 feet of water (although a few have been coming in 40 feet), and mostly near the bottom (although a few have come from near the surface). The largest mass of bait is still down at Elephant (38°10.5'). It's squid and there's a lot of them. You would think there would be a white sea bass in there somewhere but I haven't heard of one being caught. Further north there is still quite a bit of bait but some of it is shortbelly rockfish. I'm hearing that smaller baits have been working better from McClure's (38° 11.5') to the Trees. There were a few halibut caught by Hog Island. Also, please don't put your fish carcasses in the dumpsters. The seagulls and crabs love them; the people downwind of the dumpster, not so much.
