Gage took the boat out for half limits of salmon to 27 pounds at 12 by 6, then came back to the Tomales bar for stripers and a halibut. 

   Today, team Aceves limited with their largest fish weighing 23 and 24 pounds. When your limits average over 10 pounds you've had a good day.

    Tom Brodsky and John Bresnahan clobbered them today with limits to 21 pounds. Not quite the clobbering that the Aceves issued, but pretty damn good. We won't talk about yesterday...

 

    Branden Mendoza sent another report: "Late report from Monday. We were off the weather bouy in 375 feet of water fishing 205 feet on the wire. Picked up four salmon in 4hrs. Released 6 cohos as well. Lots of bait. Salmon bellies were full of anchovies and krill. We got ours on a great crippled anchovy no flasher and a watermelon spoon with a red flasher." Nice fish, Branden. We love salmon on this report. 

        The Coastodian sent me a couple of pictures without many details except that they limited today and there were many whales. 

    Look at that smug bastard. He caught a halibut larger than Gage's. That's how you get smug. The halibut weighed 24 pounds. The smug weighed more.
