Lynn Keehn of Woodland caught her first halibut today, a 12 pounder. It bit a smaller-sized jacksmelt by Hog Island. Lynn and company decided to stay in the bay due to the fog and questionable ocean conditions. The forecast three foot swell  was actually six foot and packed a bit of power with it this morning, making for a bit of a break on the bar and other shallow spots. A few boats did head out this morning and one of them, following an old track line on the GPS in the thick fog, ended up too close to Tomales Point and got flipped over. From there their luck turned better as the boat righted itself and motor kept running. Kapulani Chong was able to get back in the boat and radio for help, as he couldn't get the boat owner, Tom Gerbi, back in the boat. The radio call was pretty garbled since the microphone was full of water, but Kerry Apgar understood "flipped" and "point" enough to direct other fishermen to the area. Rober Buckenmeyer and Helmuth Himmrich found them and were able to pull Tom into the boat between sets of breakers. Kapulani ended up driving the rolled boat home. They are lucky, lucky, lucky.
