Ed just did a toss with the throw net and notes that the anchovies are growing. Bigger. They’re mixed, but some are nearly worth salting and bagging (up to six inches and as thick as a thumb). Woot.

We are wholly relieved to get this little bit of business out of the way – she is relentless. Congratulations you guys – nice catch!

Other than some perch and shiners in the morning however we’ve yet to see any stripers find land. There are many people fishing the wharf today though, so it’s bound to happen.

Weather wise – we’re having one of those rare warm evenings where a warm wind blows from the north. Usually we don’t get many of these, we’ll be likely hanging around a little later than usual and might just be able to post some of the late bite action.

Not many boats out today, so we are happy to have seen the few fish that we did. Aside from the halibut we’ve already mentioned, we saw a handful of rock cod between a rental and Eric’s kayak.

In the morning bait was as usual lurking around the outside edge of the marina. As you’ll see in the next post however, something new is afoot.

Halibut seems to be getting pretty regular around here – Anna’s cousin Jim caught one from his kayak this morning, and one of Anna’s neighbors caught one off the wharf last night. The key here seems to be one or two degrees of separation from Anna. So be nice to her if you happen to stop in.
