Tom Carter tried for a halibut by Hog Island yesterday. There were several other boats that picked up a few halibut in the Hog area but not Tom. You can tell he's a good guy because even when things don't work out as planned, Tom just keeps smiling. 

   The "anchovy boys" from San Francisco arrived yesterday with their chest of live anchovies. It turns out that halibut really like anchovies, so if you're ordering a pizza for a halibut, know you know.

    Tim Woerner and Kris Gaiero tried out the new boat for salmon. It looks like it works. It actually worked four times yesterday. As of today, the salmon were ranging from Point Reyes to Tomales Point in 260 to 300 feet of water. The good didn't start today until about 11:00 but when they decided to bite they really meant it. The fish are still moving North and the water conditions have been changing (clear and cold is becoming brown and warm) so it's anybody's guess how long that they'll be here. I guarantee that it won't be as long as we want. The season is still very young.
