reflecting 9 stripers released. Top boat for the week was the
"Gaviota VIII", with Captain Juan Dominguez, reflecting 20 stripers,
(18 released) for six fishing days. Overall combined fish counts for
the two fleets for a total of 44 days fished reflected 106 stripers,
(92 released) 4 yellowfin tuna, 3 roosterfish and 47 dorado.

from 60 nights to 82 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Remains good, temps holding 74-75 on the Pacific

Live Bait Supply: Excellent, with both, mackerel and caballitos and
replenishment of the mackerel at the Golden Gate Bank.
