fishies

   So the halibut fishing ain't awesome, but there's a few. The Coastodian sent me these photos this morning, first the striper, then the halibut. The halibut photo arrived just after 9:00 AM. No further photos were submitted. I got distracted by life and work and didn't follow up for details, but I believe that our Coastodian has been a pretty solid live bait guy, and as halibut like eating wiggly fishies he's not wrong to pursue that agenda. Clearly not wrong as he has caught fish. Number one rule of fishing: If it is working, it ain't wrong. Good on you, Richard. They ain't particularly easy this year, yet, but hopefully their (or our) time will come.

      In other news, Gage and his girlfriend tried the hot surfperch action today. Their result? Awesome if you're a vegan. Fifty pounds of seaweed and only one perch bite that stuck. Not awesome. As usual, the conditions have changed. But if things continue to be usual that means that they will change. As Heraclitus said, "Change is the only constant".  Never argue with the ancient Greeks. Probably don't argue with the modern ones. The fishing may get better or worse. The seaweed may bet better or worse. But it will change.
