It's weird when Gage sends me fish pictures with other people in them, but it is starting to seem like when he does, the person is Sam and he's holding a striper. This one weighed 11.5 pounds and Gage didn't get a chance to cast for it. There were a few halibut caught back by Hog Island today. Here's a couple guys that know a little about it:

    Tony Mathis of Jackson and Kenny Mendoza of Plymouth caught these three halibut to 15 pounds and lost one other while drifting live shiners by Hog. They said the fish are in, and I believe them.

      Here's a report sent in by a friend: "

Rumor has it , a group of the Lawson Landing fishing team did a little salmon fishing out the gate today to practice up for the second week of July at the Landing ! Seems they found a bunch of fish, not to far south of Point Reyes. The massive school has been moving north a few miles each day, for the last month !all the fish seam to like the 275 foot line of water ! Five familiar faces got 10 salmon today!"
 The Harvest Time came home with a salmon from the near the same area (about a 27 mile run from here) and they said they saw quite a few being caught. They're coming closer. I also heard of a nice salmon caught mooching(!) in 80 feet of water(!) off of Elephant. There have been some other salmon caught up north off of Fort Ross but from the radio reports it didn't sound wide open. The rockfish aren't biting too well either, but that shouldn't last.
