Well, that ended pretty quickly. There were quite a few boats on the bar today at a couple of different times but not too many fish caught. High boat that I heard of was Conor Padon with two stripers and a halibut, all on tube jigs. We had to go fishing twice just to catch up. Gage, Richard Porterfield and I caught two stripers in the morning/afternoon and Richard caught a halibut this evening on a separate trip. There were other fish caught on the bar at various times today but it wasn't even slightly "hot." One fact I neglected to share was that on Tuesday night both Chris Brown and Doryon Dye reeled up halibut that had a second, smaller halibut following it. The only reasonable explanation is that those second halibut were spawning males, as generally it is the stupid horny guys that get into trouble because they can't see it as they are horny-blind. I've been that guy, I know. It seems like when the halibut come in to seriously spawn (as they're doing now, or have done) they bite initially and then lockjaw for a week or so. Post-coital malaise? It doesn't matter the name, the results are the same. The fish quit biting. They will start again, tomorrow or maybe next week. Halibut have small stomachs and feed less than a fisherman would hope for, but eventually they will bite again. There is a ton of bait in the outer bay
