Yesterday's pretty decent weather changed to some fairly indecent weather today. By the afternoon the ocean was scary. Still, some fearless (and non-bruise-fearing) fishermen stuck it out into the afternoon and were rewarded with biting (if not always sticking to the hook) salmon, both in the outer bay near the Tomales Bay mouth and off of Tomales Point in 100 feet of water or so. A few early fish were mooched, for those so inclined. A few halibut were caught yesterday (a 21 pounder on the bar) but I didn't hear of any today. The weather is supposed to change for the better this week and we should see, if not more fish, more chances for fish by the end of the week.

   I received a picture of one of those 100 feet of water fish:"Here is a picture of Mike Mack today. Really rough water, we stayed out until 3 when the wind came up and forced us back into the bay... We also had another keeper around 10lbs and lost 3 good ones that came unbuttoned right at the boat..."
