The Dream Team worked the beach today for halibut limits to 27 pounds. Which beach? Where on the beach? What were they using? A. J. Masters, Blake Jump and Kapulani Chong won't tell me, so I'm asking you. 

    Peter Kim and crew came in with a salmon and a halibut which may not seem like much, but to most of the fishermen today that looked pretty darned impressive. There were a lot of zeroes on the salmon count. The Honebeins caught a nice one (mid to high twenties) today, their only bite, and Jesse Keilman and crew landed two limits of salmon to 28 pounds today, with the exception of one fish they released, thinking that they could do better. Today was not the day to be releasing twelve pounders. Jesse's fish came from the Keyholes early, mostly, with the last fish hours later at Bird. 

    Teo Lally looks like he might be a future addition to the Dream Team. He caught halibuts weighing 18 and 25 pounds today. Not only that, he won't tell me how or where, either. Maybe he's already on that team. 

    I know I've mentioned it before and I'm going to do it again later, but since CDFW sent me a nice email I can cut and paste, here's a reminder about Dungeness season this year. Gird your loins: 

New Recreational Crab Regulations The California Fish and Game Commission adopted new regulations for the recreational crab fishery in late 2020. The revised regulations include the following new requirements when fishing with traps: a buoy marking requirement, a nine-day service interval requirement, a Recreational Crab Trap Validation requirement, and a 10-trap limit. Additionally, the new regulations authorize the CDFW Director to implement a season delay or early season closure due to marine life entanglement risk. It is anticipated that these regulations will be effective prior to the scheduled November opener for the recreational Dungeness crab season. For more information, please visit the California Fish and Game Commission's Regulations Webpage. Anglers can also sign up for updates on CDFW's Whale Safe Fisheries Webpage to receive important season information.
