So, the back bay by Inverness has continued to have a fairly decent bite for some fishermen, less so for others. On Thursday, water temps at Inverness were 61º on my machine, and that temp had them biting for Eddie Kim and I. Gage had a stomach thing so he didn't go, so Eddie and I were forced to clumsily brute force our way to our limits of halibut over three grueling hours without Gage. We trolled six to seven lines for three hours for four keepers and four shorts, plus one missed bite. Depths ranged from 11 to 18 feet. Successful gear included Predator minnows (two keepers one short), a 0 green dodger with a bait (one keeper one short), straight bait (one keeper one short) and chartreuse flasher with chartreuse hootchie (one short). Sizes for ours were 6, 8, 10, and 12 pounds. Damned good fish for the back bay. The water is warming, though, and we caught fish out deeper and farther north than expected, so I'd expect (now..) to find a few fish around Marshall and maybe even Hog around low tide. Other boats totals ranged from zero to limits, so your results may vary. They are there, and if what you're doing isn't working, try something else.
