Paradise 9/10

Fished Paradise for a spank. Several party boats and more privates made a couple of long drifts with no action. The party boats ran off and I fished through the afternoon. Halibut action has been pretty slow here after a flurry 3 weeks ago but I thought I'd give it a shot. Nice day on the water with light wind though. On a side note, I did get lively shiners from Keith. Lively, but banged up with red noses and worn tails like dfg trout. Maybe his pens are too small...

Glad you had a nice time OTW.  Paradise is one of my favorite fishing spot.  Thank you for the report Jeff.

Thanks for the report--nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Any bait in evidence? I am figuring not since you didn't mention any.

There was a bit of bait popping on the surface but not much. The fishfinder was picking up what appear to be bait balls but in the bay these are often those jellyfish blob things- no idea what they are called though.

I ask because I am trying to figure out where Halibut go and why. I am re-reading a book called the Fisherman's Ocean and it has me thinking where most of the Sardines, White Sea Bass, and Halibut went the last few years and why this year they came back as of old.

The halibut were here in big numbers last year , too.

Thanks for report Jeff...a little upper body work out, some freshair=good times...the fish are just the extras...
