Here's a report from the beach yesterday, from Steve Smith:"Thanks for the update on the striper caught by Gage. I fished yesterday afternoon and got 10 nice red tails all on sand fleas. Nice photo of the sand crab activity on the beach. Tons of em. Very healthy environment. Time to start tossing some plugs for striped bass!" I thought so too, and it worked out that I caught a striper on a Daiwa SP Minnow. Gage posed with it. It may even have been legal but we put it back.
    The halibut are still biting the trolled smaller baits in the "way back". Rockfishing was okay today but it got a little breezy in the afternoon.
