Saturday's forecast looked good and the nice fish caught on Friday got everyone excited. Then the South wind came up and blew hard enough to swamp a couple of boats on the beach and chase everybody off of the water. Surfperch were about the only fish landed here on Saturday. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised. Friday's forecast was for a 6 foot sea and it actually peaked at 14 feet at the buoy. Sunday's weather was better but the halibut slayers didn't get on the water until around 4:00 PM. They still ended up with at least one from the channel right in front of the seawall just after the low tide. The crabbing was okay for reds and very slow for Dungeness. The rockfish got a break, as Saturday's rockfishermen weren't out long enough to get very many.
James Nunley of Grass Valley jigged up this 24.5 pound halibut this afternoon. If you are wondering where he caught it....
...look over Eddie Kim's head. Eddie sent in this photo of his rockcod limit on flat water today. He also gave away the "secret hole." You could almost cast there....

My buddy and I fished Monday way in the back. We landed a 20lb striper, and two keeper Halibut 25" and 26". We also had a couple of shortys in the mix. We started by Hog and no takers so we made the 15 min. run and it payed off. All the action was off Chicken Beach in 6' of water. Calm wind and overcast sky the water was 62-63. By Hog it was 59
Are the clams edible, as I like to bring my kids to have some fun? Thanks
The quarantine on sport harvested bivalves is still in effect. The tests for PSP in the clams came back clean but there is a concern now about domoic acid. Are the clams edible? Maybe? Probably should wait for the quarantine to pass.
