We had ten launches today but most of those were clammers (they did well). I talked to two boaters that went fishing and crabbing in the bay (the only two that I pulled out) and they did pretty well. One had a halibut and one keeper Dungeness. The halibut came from Inverness and the crab from Marker 5. Similarly, the other boat caught in the same places but had an earlier start. Three halibut for Mr. Wertz (two from Inverness and one from Marshall(!)) and six (or eight? I forget) Dungeness around the Fiver. Mr. Wertz also found a top-to-bottom school of shiner perch at the weather (yellow) buoy. That's a pretty good sign. Not as good as the numbers of confirmed halibut being caught in San Francisco Bay (According to sportfishingreport.com, the Lovely Martha party boat has already landed 1191 halibut for this year. That's a number that can't be argued with.).

    Gage took a couple of buddies out fishing this evening. It ain't SF, but the fish are biting. They fished for about 90 minutes for three keeper halibut and a couple of shorts. Travis and Dario seemed happy with the fishing. Again, it ain't SF, but then again, it ain't SF.
