    Let's change the subject.
    Zack the fishcounter (not his actual surname) showed me this picture today and I had to pass it on. This Pacific Bonito was caught yesterday by a salmon fisherman (notice the head by the bonito's tail) about 20 miles out of the Golden Gate in 53º water. Does it mean albacore are on the way? Or here? I hope so.

    These guys picked up some nice lingcod yesterday around Elephant Rock and down by Point Reyes. They even released a few keepers. Aside from a 7-8 pound halibut from Hog Island, those were all the fish that I'm aware of.

  2. They sure fight hard! When I lived in so cal we considered bonies to be trash fish, but if I caught one here and now I'd bleed it out and ice it down and figure out how to prepare it.
