Here's Kris Gaiero with her second halibut from off of Tomales Point. Remember when I said that inside the bay would be better for halibut? Well, it is, but Kris is making a pretty strong argument for the Point.

    Here's a nice Hog Island halibut. This one bit a trolled anchovy. I heard of a couple of others caught yesterday as well. There were a couple of guys that caught some decent numbers of Dungeness in the outer bay (half limits or better) but they worked hard for them. Inside the bay it was pretty slow for the Dungeness but part of that could be the strong currents around the new moon. Rockfishing was on the slower side as well. Surfperch fishing was okay on the incoming tide but if anybody caught any stripers they weren't telling me. No bluefin here. On that note, as abfish mentioned in yesterday's comments, bluefin are extremely boat shy. Should you be lucky enough to find a school of feeding bluefin you need to either cast from a distance or troll a way-way back line round-a-bout over the fish. How far back? If you have to ask, it ain't far enough. When you're sure it's enough, add a little more. And if all you've got is salmon gear it almost doesn't matter how far you put your lines back, since bringing a knife to gun fight generally ends poorly for the blade wielder. Also, don't drive over a school of boiling bait and birds. Just don't. Ever.
