This 15 pound striper was caught right in front of the Boathouse this afternoon on a frozen anchovy. There's been some schools of bait moving around and I guess a few of these guys must be following them.
Tim Nelson sent in this photo of a soon-to-be crab dinner from last weekend. He caught a few halibut in the bay as well as the crab.
Word is that there's salmon out there in 260-ish feet of water. The ramp report from Bodega was about a fish per rod or a bit less. There is a large school of decent sized fish that runs from Double Point to (I think I heard) Point Reyes in about 120 feet of water and the way things have been they're probably moving north. They ought to be here about the time the wind really comes up. The weather forecast doesn't sound very promising for running down that way until perhaps the weekend, and it better be pretty darn nice to run 30 miles for salmon, one way. Albacore, sure.

Nice work on the great catches! I can’t wait to get back out there.
Willy, thanks as always for the great fishing report! Do you (or anyone else) have any tips to use while trolling for halibut on Tomales bay? I feel like I spend half the time cleaning eel grass off of my lines. Good luck to everyone this summer and be safe!
Cleaning eel grass is part of the game in tomales bay, check your gear often, watch and read your rod tips, look for slower tides (not extreme tidal change) or high winds, there are times in a day that are better than others
Thanks Thumbs! Hopefully soon I’ll have a successful halibut report to send in to Willy.
Trolling Tomales Bay will teach you to run your gear. A lot. It sucks, but it's a good lesson. Sometimes it's unfishable, but usually you can find a place that's doable. Good practice for the jellies in the ocean.
Put a shirt on and looks like some female crab. We had 25 in 5 pots on a 6 hour soak Sunday.
