     I went out and tried for seabass last night (don't worry, I left them all for you) and saw schools of bait all over, from Tomales Point down to Abbott's Lagoon. There were pelicans and murres feeding all over, and it looked like the fishing was about to bust open. Well, it didn't, but it did get a bit better. These salmon above were caught by the Honebeins off of McClure's Beach today. Other salmon (and a few halibut) came from there, as well as most of Ten Mile. Tomales Bay was not as generous with its halibut. There was a halibut reported hooked and lost by a striper fisherman in the surf. Considering that the grunion are running and the sand crabs just molted again, there should be a few more halibut and stripers coming from there, but maybe the schools of anchovies further out were too enticing.
