Gage and I headed to San Diego to fish on the Pacific Queen on Eddie Kim's charter. We got there in time for the bluefin bite to die (it went off from Santa Cruz to Cordell instead) and the wind to come up. The boat still finished with 243 yellowtail and a bruised and tired group of fishermen. In the meantime there were a few reports I missed. Here's one from Ron Johnson:
He further reports from yesterday, "And today Sue got her first Halibut on the first Jig drop..... 45 seconds in she says I think I have one on. The morning lasted 'til the wind blew us off. Picked up 3 in an hour or so. I'm sure you have heard the salmon quota has been met and our season closes Sunday.😥" Yes, last chance for salmon here. The weather forecast is crappy but there may be a morning window. Nice work on the halibut. Also yesterday:
Mike Morgan sent in one last report before he went home on Tuesday:" Hey Willy I caught a 19 pound halibut and Teddy caught a 10 pounder down by hog island," Nice way to finish up Mike. Good to know that few fish have made it back to Hog.

I'm pretty sure i found that wooden gaff at the westside boat launch last Saturday if they want it back we can figure something out!
Those pics are amazing Willy!!! It reminds me of when Joe John and I caught 6 buts on Saturday and 6 on Sunday. This was October 27th and 28th in 2001! We had never fished for halibut before. Trip Plumb told us how to drift. We rigged frozen herring. 27 and 25 lbs were our best Aluminum 16 foot boat with a 15 horse evinrude. The good old days!
