Casey Smith of Loomis went fishing with Gage today, trying to catch a halibut. They tried by Marshall for five hours and finally gave up, heading out to the bar where a boat earlier in the day reported catching lots of sand sole. No sand sole for Casey and Gage, but Casey did catch this 28 pound halibut as a consolation prize. The fish bit a drifted dead anchovy. Casey is dealing with his disappointment as well as can be expected.
    Not too many other fish today. There was one 22" salmon brought in and a few small halibut from Hog Island. There were also a couple more silvers caught near Hog, so be careful back there. It's not impossible to catch a king in the bay but it is way, way more likely that you caught the wrong kind.
