Trolled along Bachelor Island today.  Negative results but it was nice to get out & look things over.  As all know the water is high & murky, about 1ft visibility.  Marker 13 is normally quite a few feet above water level.  Like the debris hung up on the marker, there is stuff out there so keep an eye out.
Only saw one sea lion, guess that's good except it might mean there are no fish around either

[Thenewguy]

I bet this fish are there in numbers this weekend. If the water drops a little...

Sea lions have been more or less absent from the lower river this year compared to last. There's about 1/3 as many at East Mooring Basin compared to last year as well. Talked to a local biologist and they said it was because the smelt run was no bueno this year
