    From Daniel Martinez: "Good morning. I just wanted to send this pic of me and my buddy. We went out last week think Sunday and had limited by 10 am. Not big fish but keepers. Great day of fishing. We got these fish at the bar. Thanks for all your posts.  Fish on.   Daniel and Don." The bar has continued to produce some halibut since Sunday, not consistently, but occasionally. Good work on quick limits, guys. Some of us aren't as skilled/lucky. Gage and I caught one and missed three other bites in a little over an hour there today. We trolled Ten Mile earlier, looking a for a halibut in 50 feet of water as it was breaking in 30 feet. We should have stopped on the bar. Ten Mile had bait, birds working, brown water, everything you want to see except for bites. The bar had biters that mostly wouldn't stick, but biters. Probably small, but at least they were participating. 
   That warm water off of Bragg is shifting down but also out, so it still isn't closer. The weather may allow a try this weekend but the water is far from here and it's at least 40 miles from Fort Bragg. Still, 40 from Bragg seems pretty good compared to our 70 miles to the edge. If you go, bring big gear. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight unless you're looking to get shot.

Thanks for the recent report. Was the morning bite any good at all? Looks like I'll try for a late start if not.

Much appreciated.

This morning the bar was good before the South wind kicked in around noon.
