Here's Doug's halibut from Wednesday. This fish was caught with some help from Steve Towne. Also with Steve's boat and rigging. And driving. Steve may have hooked the fish, too. And reeled it up. It bit a smelt near Hog Island. Go Doug!

     Yesterday the clear, cold ocean water and the gusty South wind combined to make catching fish on the ocean very difficult. A slow bite got slower. Jake Showaker wisely headed for Hog Island and put a couple halibut in the boat, including this 25 pounder. 

      These guys dialed in the halibut bite ate Hog today. Six halibut on live jacksmelt. They bit steadily throughout the morning for John Rosasco and Frank Green. They seem pretty happy. 

      Also today, a bit of slightly warmer, slightly dirtier water slid in towards the North end of Ten Mile and in it were some salmon. The Harvest Time ended up with four salmon and nine halibut for their persistence. They weren't the only guys with some fish from down that way but they were the guys to figure them out the best, at least as far as I heard. Nice work, gents. I am jealous.
