Gage sent me this yesterday: "Rich Nacarelli 22 lb striper in the mouth first thing this morning" I think it bit a Kastmaster, just knowing the fishermen involved. He was with John Cooper, a known Kastmaster aficionado, and a man (and boat) that caught halibut all week while, staying here. Not a lot of halibut on any day, but no skunks, either. No skunks is better than average, but there are some fish in the bay. Gage and I caught two to 13 pounds on Thursday by Hog. One came on its own and the other came in a quick flurry of three bites that could not be repeated. It seems that there's a few scattered schools of halibut if you're lucky enough to find them. One of those scattered schools was off Sand Point yesterday, where several halibut were caught by boaters and from shore. The tackle shop's shelves were emptied of 4 oz. P-Line Laser Minnows after a couple of people landed at least three halibut from shore using them. No halibut from shore today, but several were caught near Marshall. One striper was caught near the bar and a certain blue boat caught three halibut McClure's today.
