Gage, Guiseppe and I ended up with three halibut from 11 to 14 pounds today. All fish (and fishing) were near Hog, one by Pelican Point and two in the channel that runs by Hog. The herring did not want to play very much and were not particularly easy to catch in number. They did work well for live bait when we had them. The wind blew out of the South in the middle of the day making fishing complicated. We were forced to rig heavier weights and backtroll to stay in the channel. It worked, picking up two, one near the eelgrass and one mid-channel. There were some kayak fishermen working the edge between Pelican and the weather buoy that caught a few halibut and a couple types of bass. Our first halibut and a couple of missed bites came in the same area. The guys working the area North of Hog didn't do as well today, nor were there any anchovies there today. I'd bet that there's a few fish there (flatfish) but you'd better bring your own bait to the party. Also bring a means to slow or control your drift. The wind is forecast to be unpleasant for a while and this year, I believe them.
