     Here's a Ron Johnson submitted Wednesday report: "pics from today fishing  on the Bar. I mean Hog. My son Eliot visiting from Oregon and I fished with Miller Time." Yes, the San Francisco bar isn't the only bar with halibut on it. Nice work on finding the fish, gents. The SF bar has way more halibut on it currently, but Tomales has some, and those some will be heading further into the bay to hopefully re-energize the fishing at Hog. It needs it. Bait catching is still difficult but there's a few smelt in the outer bay and along selected weed patches. There are also some schools of small anchovies at the yellow buoy that can be fished with small single hooks. Gage and I tried the bar this morning around the turn of the tide and had eight bites with two fish landed in our first four short drifts, Then the incoming tide brought in cold, clear water and we had no more bites. We left when the water dropped below 50º. As the forecast calls for much less wind and a more summerlike pattern, the water should warm back up soon and the bar action should fire back up. Soon....
