 Today I went with Gage to the back bay. Only one photo was taken, but fish were caught. We left the house at 7:00 AM and had limits of halibut by 10:00 AM. Where did we go? To Gage's secret spot? Maybe? They didn't bite for us like they did for him yesterday, so.... Different day? Different spot? I don't know, but I know better than to ask. Just catch your fish slower and be happy. And I am. We trolled from a little north of Heart's Desire Beach to almost the Tomales Bay Oyster Company and had bites all over. The fish are definitely in schools, as we had a couple of times when more than one were biting. We finished on a sequential quadruple bite, but only two of the four stuck. Our buddy boat was alongside and was able to convert that bite into....nothing. Those fish are fickle. Our totals were: Two fish on a straight chartreuse Krippled Anchovy (including the largest of the day at ten pounds), two on a Krippled Anchovy (I think chartreuse) behind a chrome 00 dodger, and two keepers and the day's only short on P-Line Predator lures. Two nice keeper fish were returned, one early because we thought we could do better, and one later because we did. They're biting, but not awesome. Our buddy boat came home with zero. Another boat that Gage knows returned with one. It ain't hot, but there's possibilities.
