The halibut fishing is much better in San Francisco Bay. Striper fishing, too. Don't come to Tomales Bay. Gage and I had a pleasant day back near Inverness trolling for limits of halibut and a 17 pound striper yesterday. There were no other boats until we were done, when there was one. If you've been fishing SF you wouldn't like it. None of our six halibut were big. The fifteen or so shorties we released (without netting; all boat-flipped) were treated with respect (as we are hoping to see them later) but the almost 20 bites we missed were hurtful. We could have done without the two bat rays completely. All action was in 12 to 16 feet of 60º water. Action peaked around the high tide. Bites were on bait, hootchies and on P-Line Predator lures (five bites, two keeper halibut for the Predators). The striper hit a straight bat. I didn't hear any other halibut reports. I did hear of some very good surfperch fishing (and catching) out on Dillon Beach proper. As usual, the Berkley Gulp! camo sandworms were the ticket. The perch bit on the incoming tide.
