Two boats fished the Day Beach today.One boat just returned with 2 limits of halibut, the other boat has 2 fish. Maybe halibut isn't over yet. Live jacksmelt, by the way.

Larry Anderson, the Tuna Chaser, had 1 albacore yesterday. Mike Gibson caught 3 halibut off the Day Beach Wednesday and 3 yesterday. Yesterday's fish went 15#, 20.5# and 26.5#. The bar didn't give up any to divers or fishermen, so if you want halibut bring live smelt to the beach.

Wednesday update: The Due Regard, with Lance Seppi, Tom Gerbi and Steve Towne, landed 5 albacore to get high boat for Wednesday. Tad Vogler and Jason Downing had an 18# lingcod caught on live smelt at Elephant along with a 10# ling and some rockcod.

Albacore boats totals: 0, 1, 2, and ?. Fourth boat returned later than I was willing to wait for info. Rockfish are flaky, not biting well in many places but biting very well in others. Personally, I spent a few hours trying different spots until we found a place where the fish didn't care what we threw at threw at them and just bit. 75 minutes, 36 fish. Biggest, an 8-10# vermillion landed by John Davis. Four days to catch rockcod, get 'em while you can!

Unfortunately the weekend's halibut bite died with the weekend. One halibut from the bar in the last two days. Rockfish have been biting, limits for those who tried, although some fishermen had to work harder than others, probably due to the full moon, clear water and fishing shallow. Five more days for rockfish and lingcod. Do it now or do it next year, if they let you.
