HKUP Tomales Fri 8/23

You had the hot hand in Tbay today John. Enjoyed seeing you net the sea bass after our discussion on whether your net or mine was bigger. Thanks for the handful of chovies. Could not get a swim bait today but caught a couple shorts and one legal on your bait.

Great fish! You got me itching to go out to Tomales, but I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks to scratch.

Thankd for the teaser John.  Can't wait to read the report.

Thanks for the report and details, sounds like a great day to me!

John,
Great to see you out there and huge congrats on the WSB! You put your time in and deserve it, for sure! Was weird to be out the in a PB. Took us 9 fish to get our limits, with a 32”,  14lb being the biggest. They were everywhere! Good times. In by 11am.
Cheers.

No fish landed for me but it was great meeting John, Charles (and canine co-captain), and Gary out there. Still looking for my first Tomales halibut but I'm learning something new each time there.

John - congrats again on the WSB, and thanks a lot for the pointers and the hook !

Charles - thanks for the fruit ! Perfect snack on the drive home.

3$J! Really appreciated your timely report and motivation! I told a few friends last night that I going to target wsb today. My deepest apology to Michael for missing out his awesome event again... Michael offered and helped me with some live anchovy last night. Launch at sunrise today and after 3 short halibut, I landed my first keeper wsb. I will be lying if I say I m anticipating to catch a wsb today, but I really felt I need to try regardless the outcomes. Anyway, thank you again John!
