Mike Garello of Riverbank shows off two of his three halibut he caught while trolling on Ten Mile beach today. The biggest went 21# and they all bit herring. He lost two others. The water was 54 degrees.

Kari Munson with her first salmon limit, plus Ron Johnson's fish. These fish were caught last Saturday in front of Bird Rock. Yesterday saw some nice rockfish come in and a 54" leopard shark.

About 12 boats went out from here for salmon yesterday. Six salmon were caught on three of the boats and most of the rest lost fish. The weather was better than it has been but still breezy and cold. The rockfish bite was OK when you could get your line to the bottom (fast drift). The forecast shows no wind, so let the water warming begin.

Kelsey Perceval of Fremont shows off her 25# king salmon. She caught it south of Bird Rock in about 50 to 60 feet of water on a lure (she won't say which) and barefoot. I'm going to have to try barefoot fishing if it will put fish like this one in the boat. Several other salmon were caught in the same area and there was even a double-header. It doesn't take that long for the fish to bite once the wind eases. Halibut in the bay, from Hog Island to near Inverness, not red hot but some people were lucky. Many sharks near Marshall. Good forecast for the week.

Really windy the last two days, just windy today. No ocean report, but some halibut from the bay. Two halibut came from Marshall on the troll. Quite a few people trying for sharks and rays but so far no one is coming by to brag afterward. Dungeness season is closed now, so the red crabs had better watch out.
