Tom Brodsky also fished last Thursday and sent over his opinion of the day last Friday: "Morning Williy.  Accurate report you had yesterday. We limited on rockfish again, than jiged McClure beach no halibut. Then tried for ling cod in front of the slide and the point, no luck.  Yes the bar was breaking when we came in and fished for halibut on the inside. 7 hook ups only landed 2. Another fun day in the ocean." Tom has been fishing jigs a lot for halibut, and I guess running only artificials is a good way to avoid sharks. Not perfect, bet better than bait. Nice work, Tom, and good job keeping the boat right side up on a day when going inverted seemed like more than a possibility.

    I've been mostly stuck in the office or elsewhere lately and missed out on talking to most of the fishermen, not that there were very many of those. Of the few I spoke to, and of the few second-hand reports I heard, it sounded as if Hog had a few fish scattered around, but it was better for halibut the closer to the mouth of the bay you got. One fellow caught a limit on Saturday and on Sunday just jigging on the bar. Others may not have had the same success. But it seems like the action, mostly is moving toward the mouth. This being almost October, it may be because the season is winding down. And winding down it likely is.  But it ain't over. Yet.
