Tom Carter kept the white goatee trend alive with this 48 pound sea bass this morning. It bit a live jacksmelt on the bar. He almost had to chase it into the surf but he finally turned it.

    Mike Mayry's 28 pound sea bass wasn't as big as the others but Mr. Mayry did the important service of breaking the white goatee barrier. I was going to glue some cotton to my face, but Mike says I don't need to. This fish also swam on the bar but it ate a shiner. 

    There were a few halibut caught today in the usual spots but I heard of no big bite. No salmon. There were some stripers caught in the surf but I don't have details except for the fact that there were several and they weighed about 8 to 15 pounds.
