The fishing is slow. Well, no, slower than that. I heard of two halibut caught from Saturday through Tuesday. Both were at McClure's. There were more rockfish caught there, but you can't keep the shallow fish until next month. The deep rockfish are biting when you can get there. There are some albacore biting way out, 50+ miles, also when you can get there, and finally the bluefin are biting out of Bodega. The forecast is for flat, foggy weather this weekend. It should be a mess out there. I'm glad I'll be working. 

  There was one tip emailed in last week: " 

Hi Willy,

Past three weekends we have been hooking into thresher sharks back by Pelican point.  Last Sunday we witnessed at least five other boats fighting threshers as well.

They sure are fun.

AF FISH " I did hear of one lost there on Saturday, so there still may be some, but at least some of the school bait has been moving out of the bay and likely taking some of those threshers with them. It's probably still your best chance for action in the bay, though.

    I have been on vacation for the last two weeks so I didn't have much info to post. South Africa has kinda spotty internet access, at least where I was. Plus, I was kinda distracted. I've never bank fished where dinosaurs can launch out of the water to eat you. It's hard to concentrate on your technique. 

We went with African Wild Safaris and it was awesome. I wanna go back. Plus, anyplace you can buy two beers and a fancy coffee at the airport for $4.50 total is worth visiting again.
