The first fisherman to return yesterday was Jerry Knedel with a limit of salmon to 25 pounds. Jerry caught his on baiter-bladed herring while trolling inside the worst of the jellies, about 50 feet of water, off of McClures.
Nathan Porter and his assistant caught a 21 pound salmon mooching off of Bird. This fish had a belly full of shortbelly rockfish and squid.
The Boswell family caught this nice 16 pound halibut by Hog Island yesterday.
The new bragger-board-leading salmon is this 31 pounder caught by Tom Briggs. This salmon was mooched up below Bird.
These salmon were caught by mooching south of Tomales Point as well. The larger one was caught by Lori Treadway and weighed 26 pounds.
The south end of Ten Mile had these halibut to 19 pounds for Dennis Stokes and Dale Fortner on the Got One. We've already had one of the last boats launched return with his limit of salmon trolled at the Bodega Whistle (he said), so it sounds like maybe the fish are actually in the shallows. I realize that I've announced this a couple times this year and been wrong every time so far, but this time I mean it. They are definitely in today. Tomorrow?

What was the "butt" caught on?
To the best of my knowledge, both bay halibut were caught on live shiners. There was another, unphotographed halibut taken on the bar.
Hey thanks Willie, I am going to come up and see you next friday, going to be my first time ever at the bay fishing for Halibut, I spoke to you about a month ago coming down from Auburn with my 14 ft Valco. Where can I get live shiners? is that the live bait you were taking about fishing for with a small rig by your docks. I assume you work at the tackle shop, I 'll be there straight up at 7am, looking foward to it.

Shiner perch are caught off of our pier. The best time is when the current is slow, near the high or low tides. Jacksmelt, caught on the pier or out on the bay, can be even more effective but not necessarily as easy to get. We're actually open at 6:00 AM if you want to come a little earlier. See you then.
OK, 6 it is
Looks like it was a great day !
