I took a little walk along the water's edge today with my GPS and drew this nice map of the current location of the sand point compared to where it was a few years ago. I'm hoping that the right point in the wrong place is better than the wrong point in the right place. It appears that an actual channel is forming again, so maybe soon we'll be able to cross the bay the short way. But, if the wind keeps blowing the sand point around, the pier may end up as a beach boardwalk. 

   There has been a lot of bird feeding activity on the incoming tide, and on my walk today I found a dozen 2.5" anchovies washed up on the beach. A bit too small for bait but a good sign for later in the season. Last weekend there were also some shiner perch caught on the pier at the bottom of the tide, so maybe we'll see some halibut here, soon. The weather buoy by Pelican Point shows water temps ranging from 54° to 59°, so there may be a halibut window at the bottom of the tide. Lots of candy bar and larger jacksmelt are getting caught on the pier. The crabbing on the pier is verrry slow.

   One more thing, for those of you new to the report that don't know what places I'm talking about, here's the link to the page with the maps: http://fishlawsons.blogspot.com/2013/07/fishing-spot-names-revisited.html
