http://www.hmbfishing.comThe quality bottomfish are biting again onboard the Queen of Hearts out of Half Moon Bay, resulting in another day of limits for all onboard with a solid 90% of the catch made up of cream of the crop bolinas and vermillion rockfish. Don't know where Bob's been fishing or how deep; I know he prefers to fish shallow but he fishes where conditions permit, where the fish are biting and where he feels our clientele on a given day can handle bouncing the bottom.

It didn't take them long at all to get right back in the swing of things. By 7:15 this morning they had already hooked three salmon, but the score was: Queen of Hearts 2, sea lions 1. ......
