   Ray Heskett sent over these pics: "The way we were ???" Those were the days, eh?
   Salmon season not opening until a later date (TBD) is now official. Yesterday the New Sea Angler returned to Bodega from San Francisco Bay (post-haulout) and saw a parade of whales, working birds and schools of bait between Point Reyes and Bodega Bay. The wind is supposed to blow for the next few days so that should chase them away, anyhow. I am a firm believer in sour grapes.
    There was one guy on the beach in front of the store yesterday with a snare. Our gate is locked but he hiked in from somewhere. He had at least two Dungeness at noon and was going to quit at three keepers. I didn't see him at 2:00 PM so I assume he caught his go home crab. There's your current report.

Can someone remind me, halibut fishing in tomales bay is best on slower moving tide going out? You can use more than one rod as long as you dont have salmon/rock fish on board? Thanks guys!

No limit on rods for California halibut in Tomales Bay or the ocean. A rockfish or salmon on board changes that. Slower moving current is generally better, turn of the tide even better yet. The warmer water from further in the bay slides up towards the front at low tide, so if the ocean water is cold the best bite from Hog to the mouth will be at low tide.
