The Swampy himself got into the photo this time : "Evening Willy,
Slower today but we got a couple good ones. Four halibut for three rods with a 20 being the biggest
Swampy" Damn nice fish, Swampy. I'm guessing live bait again. Well, he didn't buy any bait, so acquired bait seems likely. All I know for sure is that the seagulls were happy and well fed on the beach below his campsite.
On the salmon front, one boat came in with a fish and another had two big ones (20+). It sounds like the bite (such as it is) may have moved a bit South. Thank goodness for rockcod.
As far as the striper bite in the surf, it may be good but the extreme amount of seaweed pushed up along the shore has Gage frustrated and quitting. "It kills me to know the fish are there and biting but I can't get them." Welcome to my world, son.
This evening we got to sit outside and watch fires burn in every direction but West. I'm hoping that what we saw up North was trees burning, but it looked like homes. From here you could see fires in Jenner, Austin Creek, Berryessa, and West Marin. It seems the world's aflame again. Where does one evacuate to? We're pretty much full in the campground already (since we are at 60ish% capacity with Covid-19 rules). Everybody else is pretty much the same rules. It's all bad.

Why is no one using live bait in the surf for the striper? Shinners stay on best and so do the larger smelt, I don't think a striper cares, they gonna eat! Any way worth a try for those who haven't, and food for thought on those that have....tight lines
P.s. it solves the sea weed problem
