I only saw one halibut today. Salmon were much more plentiful, even though a third to half of the boats salmon fishing didn't catch. Those that did catch caught large fish, high teens to mid-forties. At least 3 salmon over 40# came in today, one boat having a 41# and 43# plus two fish in the 30# range. P. M. Huston weighed in a 43.5# king. The water was on the rough side but since the fish were close many people stuck it out. One boat went south of Point Reyes, then discovered that the morning's sloppy weather got worse, preventing his return past the Point. Friends were dispatched to retrieve him. Lesson: don't do that.
