The wind kept most boats in the bay today, although a few larger boats spent their mornings on the ocean before the weather came up. A few of those boats caught salmon, from the outer bay to Elephant Rock (but not too much further south). High boat that I talked to was two salmon. Inside the bay the halibut fishermen did a lot of shorty sorting south of Hog. The ratio of shorties to keepers ran about 6 to 1 and was higher for a few. I heard of a couple of guys that were almost spooled by mystery fish (possibly wsb?) that got away, one thresher shark landed and an over-the-slot-limit white sturgeon sighted by a diver near Hog Island. The fact that the diver could even see the sturgeon back there would seem to indicate some abnormal water conditions. The Tomales bar was starting to look interesting to both divers and fishermen last weekend but cold water has pushed in and shut down the halibut there before it could really get started. Maybe next week.
