    Tuna result? 0. North of Bodega Canyon up to Point Arena were tested by my cousin Ira and (to lesser mileage) Gage, and they found the right water but no biters. Those biters are what they really wanted. From other reports, points south weren't a whole lot better with many goose eggs there as well. "Everything there but the fish" has been a common theme. Water temp, water color, all good. Just no biters. So.... Watch out halibut. I'm out on the tuna trip tomorrow.

  Speaking of halibut, they've been, as usual, flaky. A few guys bonked 'em. A few guys got a few. Some guys went all day for nothing. All of these things happened at Hog and the bar today, but only one happened on Ten Mile and that one was no fish. No keeper fish, at least, as you can't keep halibut under 22" or any salmon. There were two limits of stripers caught off of Dillon Beach by shore fishermen today, and even I was able to catch a striper (and release it) this evening. Will they be there tomorrow? History says, well, no. But stripers don't read history books, so who knows?

I saw a bunch of boats with outriggers at Rittenburg Wednesday , but they weren't trolling.
