There's some salmon out in 300-330 feet of water but they're down so deep you need a downrigger for your downrigger. The commercials are catching with their 50 pound leads but I don't think my Scotties will take that. Some sportfishermen are catching using 12 to 15 pound balls or pancake weights to get the depth. The New Sea Angler caught a few by dropping leads but he's got a school of baitfish under his boat that we lack. This weekend's wind will likely shake things up again and with luck some of those fish will end up someplace catchable.
      At least the halibut are playing ball here in Tomales Bay.  I haven't heard of any caught on the bar but almost every where else seems to have a few hungry flatties. Live bait, trolling, jigging, whatever you're comfortable doing will probably get you dinner. I haven't seen any jumbos this week but there were a good number of halibut caught in not too many boats out fishing.
     The crabbing has been slow but they're still catching some. The snaring has been pretty productive around the turns of the tide. My surfperch guy has been distracted by halibut fishing, so I don't know how good or bad the surf fishing is. Halibut gets a thumbs up, though.
