    The Tomales Outlaw has submitted a report, not from here, but here-adjacent: "


    Since you lack local reports, we fished out of Noyo on Friday. Temp break was about 40 miles out. 9 fish for the boat. Good grade." If these are the fish that will be sliding down to us, I accept. It doesn't take too many tankers like those to fill an ice chest with filets. It's probably also appropriate that those tankers were caught on the Tanker City fishing out of Bragg. I do have some other reports, but Terrafin seems to show that water off of Fort Bragg starting to slide south (and out; ouch!) so if the warm current can push it in a bit closer as it slides down, well, then happiness and high fuel bills if the weather allows.

    One of those other local reports comes from Branden Mendoza: "Hey willy it's been a while since we've sent in a report. We went out today and fished the bar for 2 keepers. First was 32" and 15lbs and the second was 29" and 12lbs. Overall a great day. We trolled 6" silver flasher with a white hoochie for 1 and a silver 6" flasher with a zoom- super fluke - silver rainbow. The only bites we got for 5hrs of trolling but we made them count. Thanks for the reports and good luck "  Nice job, Branden and crew. The bar was not kind to most today. Clearly, there were fish caught there, but a lot of bar anglers caught nothing over the weekend. I tried this evening and came home with nothing, but I did hook one decent one on a jig. Apparently I need to sharpen my gaff properly, though. I left the fish out there for someone else. You're welcome.
     Spaced Invader had a good day (or hour) on the bar today: "4 halibut off the bar 1 hour fishing .
Jack smelt.18lbs the biggest the others were legal or barely.. Not crazy but 4 baits+2 drifts=4 fish" Sounds like some pretty good math to me. Hopefully the wind post-front doesn't cool things down too much. The fishing isn't universally awesome but it can still be pretty good.
