Another day, another 31 pound halibut. Jim Russell of Watsonville speared this one. You could almost show a movie on the white side.The bar treated the divers well again today and even a few first-timers got to bloody their spears. Fishing for the halibut was tougher but a few were taken. Also tough was the salmon bite for most guys, although yet again a few boats returned early with limits. The successful guys were moochers just below Bird. There was also a good bite down in the land of jelly (Elephant/Keyholes) where guys snatched fish out of a scene from the rumored Ghostbusters 3 movie (I've been slimed!). The wind is picking up for a day or so, and that's probably a good thing if it cools the water off a bit. If the water gets much warmer you'll have to chum for salmon with ice. Maybe if you use frozen bait they'll bite?

Hey Willie,
I'll be down tomorrow around 6 am to fish for Halibut, is the bar safe to go out on in a 14 valco? Or would you suggest I stay inside? I will for sure come by the tackle shop and see yo for some advice, bait, and anythng else you think I might need.
Thanks,
-Scott
Sorry as this is late for you but the bar should be OK in the morning on the incoming tide but you should go elsewhere before the tide changes and the waves start standing up.
