Wind today, and worse wind tomorrow, a bit more milder wind on Wednesday. But by Thursday things really change and the weather forecast for the next few days after looks pretty good. So Lawson's Landing will be open for day use only starting on Thursday. We will be starting slow and easing into it, but there will be boat launching. It turns out that we have to put Gage to work since he's too young for unemployment and he's already run out of money. Life is hard all over, it seems. He turns 18 on Wednesday and needs to get in as much work as he can before the next virus surge shuts us back down. At least then he has a shot at going fishing on the government's dime. I guess he takes after the old man. It is a shame that he has to work because it sounds like there's a few halibut coming from the Northern reaches of the bay. Not the bar, yet (although with anchovies coming through the bar could get interesting for stripers on a fast tide), but North of Hog Island and in the channels between Tom's Point and the mouth of the bay. The fast moving water by Marker 5 can hold stripers and halibut. Not, generally, when I try but it can be really good on occasion. When this wind drops it seems likely that there should still be few salmon around the same general are they've been showing up in (Bodega head to McClure's, 120 to 220 feet of water) since they've been there pretty much since the beginning of the season. Especially if the whales are there.
