    The Wet Dream boys were back in by 1:00 PM yesterday with their limits of halibut. They fished from Marshall to Hog Island, or maybe vice-versa, looking at the tides. Nice fish, gentlemen. Not everybody is clobbering them like that. The bite around Hog today was definitely early, as that was when low tide and warm water happened. Gage and I caught three by Hog before 9:00, but after the water temperature started to drop the bite did, too. Besides our three fish we also missed several bites, so before we headed farther back we needed to refill our bait tank. The hole behind Pelican Point had schools of baby herring, shiner perch, sardines and jacksmelt, so we filled the baitwell pretty quickly. Off we went towards Marshall but we stopped short at Laird's Landing. The area was full of small anchovies. In 15 minutes we had two bites on a live sardine that didn't stick (poor sardine) but a Bigfoot Baits jig hooked the last keeper. We were feeling pretty good about being done early, but later we heard that John Daleuski caught a keeper white seabass in Marshall proper, so maybe we should have gone a little farther.
