     Just the one picture today but it's a nice one. John Cooper of Roseville caught the big one which weighed 20 pounds. All of the halibut bit live jacksmelt by Hog Island. On the salmon front, most of the boats trying for them caught at least one and a couple of boats got their limits. If you like fishing in the South wind the you should have been out there today. For everyone else, it wasn't as much fun as could be. The VHF had stories of good salmon catching going on up North by the Russian River in 240 feet of water. I heard a rumor of good ones off of Ocean Cove as well, but that's third hand info. There was a nice striper hooked and lost in the surf yesterday, so they aren't all chasing anchovies in the bay.

No salmon love for the crew of Tomales Outlaw. It was pretty choppy out there.......tossed around the Montauk pretty good. Fog obscured the coast line most of the morning, leading to a bit of nausea on my part. Since we were mooching we did end up with a couple nice coppers and a ling as incidentals. The bay was gorgeous though. Lots of boats working Hog. I enjoyed observing them from my favorite nap beach. Dug a limit of cockles on the low and called it a day.

Piggy pictures are always welcome, even when they make me feel bad. Outlaw, check out the next post. Someone else didn't like the weather outside and fished Hog for a sea bass today. Cockles are good, but sea bass filets, yum.
