It would appear that Ron Johnson picked up a salmon in 70' of water off of the Trees this morning. No further messages from Ron, so this may have been a one-off. I heard of a boat landing nine salmon this morning but they wouldn't give me a location. He had been fishing the Bodega Whistle earlier in the week but I don't think he was there today.
Kapulani Chong landed this 26 pound halibut on the bar today. He was one of the lucky few, as the bar didn't have nearly as good of a bite today as it did yesterday. Ten Mile was very good for halibut with one boat landing nine and another catching four in a couple of hours.
How deep are they catching the halibut around Hog Island? Do stripers make it as far back as Hog?
ReplyDeleteAnyone reporting halibut being caught further in the bay, towards Hearts Desire?
ReplyDeleteThe halibut have been coming from 12 to 25 feet by Hog Island, although most are being caught around 18-22 feet of water. Some guys have done well jigging near the edges of the channel. Stripers and white sea bass have been caught there before but I haven't heard of any lately. I saw a couple of halibut from the way back about a month ago but nobody from here is going back that far when there are fish being caught closer. I would imagine that there are a few 'buts around there, though.
