Not all of the stripers have found the anchovies in the bay. The surf still has a few, like this one caught by Roger Xayavong on a SP Minnow. 

    Here's a couple of shots sent in yesterday:"My son Paolo had fun catching this shark and an endless supply of sabiki caught anchovies and jack smelt. 

Thursday my friend Rick landed this 39 inch beauty on a live anchovy somewhere out in the bay. " I only saw a couple of boats fishing by Hog yesterday afternoon and they seemed bored. Low tide in the morning would have had warmer water around the island and made the fish more active. After a failed salmon attempt I went back to Marshall for a couple of trolled halibut and a few other shorties. Our bites came on lures and herring.

    This photo was sent to me so I'd know what a salmon looked like if one somehow made its way into the boat. The "Evil Twins" took their mom fishing yesterday and between her luck and their skill they landed a couple of those fish I couldn't catch, including this 25 pounder. There were a few caught off of Tomales Point yesterday but if you hooked a fish and lost it, well, tears were acceptable.  Speaking of salmon, here's a report with a warning from Tony Alcocer on Wednesday:"Willy, I was out fishing for Halibut today up in the bay. Way too much bait to find any "still" hungry Halibut. I did find two Silver salmon that were! (Just North of Hog Island) Maybe it's time to post a "public service msg" on how to tell the difference and remind everyone that the Silvers are to be released. I did take a photo of them and the fish counter at Nick's confirmed they were Silvers.

PS...Thanks for keeping up this good honest fishing report site!

Tony" There was even a small silver salmon caught from our pier last week. If you aren't sure about identification, here's a link to click on to see a picture of two fishes' mouths (Spoiler: black is good). The easiest thing to remember when you you are fishing for halibut and catch a salmon is, if your hooks are barbed, you are supposed to let it go. It is hard to do.
