    Here's a last week report from Swampy: "Wanted to fill you in on the action from our three days there. Bait was plentiful with a few mackerel in the tank with the anchovies. Fished all day Tuesday for one missed bite, kinda on the slow side. Al caught the one fish on Wednesday but we added some rockfish heeding Gage and your advice, thanks. Just my son and I today for one butt apiece, a pretty good day. Think we missed two others. Had a great year and met a bunch of nice folks down there. Thanks for the memories, Swampy." There were a couple of other halibut caught this week but overall it was pretty slow. I heard of two on the bar and one out in 80 feet of water off of the Trees, caught while rockfishing. Rockfish have been pretty consistent which will be nice for something to do while crabbing. Not for the opener, though. So far Windy.com is calling for winds gusting to 40 knots and 12 foot seas on Saturday. This could change, of course, but at this time conditions look to be somewhere between subpar and fatal. Probably closer to the latter. And that's just inside the bay.

Your luck on halibut are next to none, your better off looking for big big lungs, big live smelt are a huge advantage,..oops I just gave up a fall ling delicacy
