Here's a report from the launch: "April from Chowchilla. 13 pounds slow drift with live bait(bullhead minnows) by Hog Island"   My understanding is that this halibut was caught on a live bullhead. It may not have been their first choice of bait but it worked, and if it worked, it wasn't wrong. It's probably a testament to April's ability to catch halibut. Go April. 

   Another report from today: "Big one 21 lbs. Rob Benjamin. Live herring right by the sand point" It looks like Rob found that school of stripers that's been cruising around. Nicely done, Rob. I heard of a few other stripers and halibut caught today. One boat had three or four halibut and a striper. Several boats had nothing today as well. No guarantees (it is fishing) but there's a few fish out there if you work it correctly (ask April or Rob).
