Tomorrow is last chance for legal Dungeness out here until November. Good luck if you go. Inside Tomales Bay it has been better than it has been but still not good. There's likely a few in the outer bay but I haven't heard any reports. Halibut over the weekend was slow. It was so slow that even Gage couldn't get one to stick to the hook on Saturday morning.  He had four bites but hookups. Friday I caught one by Hog and saw another halibut and striper caught. Most of the action around Hog over the last three days was bat rays, but man, were the rays on fire! If somebody landed the bat ray with a 1.5 ounce underspin swimbait I'd love to get it back. There were a few halibut caught, but very few. Branden Mendoza caught a couple yesterday and sent over this report:

    "Hey Willy. We trolled around today. Tried by hog island with no luck. Went down by the red bar in 19ft of water trolling a white hootchie behind a dodger. Landed the fire fish at 9:30am and then we're gonna leave but the dock was too low and traffic was backed up so we decided to just keep trolling went back to the same spot and picked up another at about 1230. Both were 28 inches and 8lbs." Nice work, Branden. The fish are where you find them.
