Sorry, not much of a report.  Went out of the harbor at sunrise and trolled for halibut from 30 to 40 feet in front of the harbor and wharf.  Scattered bait all over, water temp 54 to 55.  Sat with a fleet of 30 boats, all in front mooching for halibut, didn't see any action, nor did I do anything. 

I did find this net float, traveled here from Japan.  Imagine the high seas it has seen.  It is inscribed with the Japanese symbol meaning "Dai Ichi" (number one).

The weather was beautiful.

I picked up a few glass balls (up to 11 inches diam) during my time on Iwo Jima, Japan.  Did a little etching on some of them also.
