Saturdays trip started off slow but by mid morning we had consistent halibut action with the shakers and 8 keepers. We marked lots of striped bass in the afternoon and finished up with 15 of them trolling. There’s lots of bait around treasure island and Richmond. We are seeing anchovies inside the fish. Hopefully we will start fishing live bait soon because we are seeing signs of it in the bay now. We’ve got a light load going out this Tuesday.
