Wednesday the halibut bit like crazy on the bar just before the turn of the low in 57 degree water. Gage called me, I called Alec Bennett and grabbed Leo Hernandez. We caught our limits in an hour to 25 pounds. Yesterday, after some more wind, the water was 52 degrees and two hours of fishing yielded one 22 pound halibut. Shoulda been here yesterday.  The fish are still there but much more lethargic. How do I know they're there?

    Tom Carter caught this 22 pound halibut on the bar today. He and Jerrie came back with two fish total. If the water was warmer they would have had their four fish and done it sooner. Probably. 

     James Ludovina caught this 26 pound salmon yesterday in front of Bird Rock.

Salmon is still pretty good with catches ranging from zero to limits with more consistent happiness to the north, especially for those that ran up to the Russian River and beyond. Tomales Point to the Trees still had some fish to share and were a lot closer.
