Here's a nice Saturday fish. "Dottie the FISH Slayer, Tomales Bay, Lawson's Landing. 

36 inch 18 lb. California Halibut." The ocean water wasn't very nice or fishy for most fishermen. I heard of a few salmon caught, mostly out deeper. 15 and 5 (38º15'' by 123º05') had a few fish in about 200 feet of water and there were some taken out in 300 feet of water as well. A couple of straggler salmon were caught off of the Trees but the schools of bait to concentrate the salmon are hard to find now. We need a few nice days but we aren't forecast to get any in the near future. The Dottie crew gave it a whirl out front but came back into the bay for this flatty.

    This halibut ate a bullhead cast out from the shore in front of the Boathouse yesterday. It weighed about 12 pounds. 

    Michael Del Gallego got a ride from Gage (when he finally woke up) for a quick trip towards Hog Island for a morning halibut. They missed a few other bites before the incoming cold water chilled the action.
