It seemed like a pretty slow fishing day today. Then Gage got a text from Joe Winn with a picture of stripers in an ice chest. Gage was supposed to be actually working, but instead went running outside to see if he could see where Mr. Winn was fishing. Instead, he found this gentleman with an almost broken net and a fifteen pound halibut. This fish was caught near Hog Island. Gage's head exploded a little bit.

   Joe Winn and crew came by with their catch. Gage's head exploded again. One halibut, six stripers. They returned from the direction of the bar. 

   Cameron Smith put the second fish on the big fish board today. This 31.5 pound halibut bit an A-rig in about ten feet of water. Where? That small bit of info wasn't shared. But rest assured, Gage's head exploded again. Withing minutes of Gage getting off work and launching his boat, another fish was brought to the scale...

    This one that Jeremy from Sacramento caught definitely broke his net. 30 pounds and it bit a broken-back Rebel. Gage and his buddy Mason took off at 5:00 in his Whaler and shortly after Cameron hopped in with me to go load up on stripers and halibut. At around 7:30 we returned, tails between our legs and no fish in the box. We're considering this a building week. The fish are starting to come in. Apparently some big fish. I'm not calling it good yet because I can't catch one, but I will say that it's way better than it was. Opportunities exist on Tomales Bay from front to back. None of them are fantastic but they exist, and for now, that's good enough for me. Now I need to go clean up from all of Gage's head exploding.
