Thursday afternoon saw a 25# salmon come in from 200' of water off Elephant Rock, 130' down. Three halibut from the day beach. Friday saw a few more halibut from the usual locations, a 23# striper from the day beach, a slow rockfish bite and two boats with tuna, one with 2, one with 9, from east of the Gumdrop (60 miles). Six boats went looking for tuna today as the water has pushed up to Cordell Bank. If you want to go for tuna from here better do it tomorrow as the forecast calls for wind starting Monday. If you want to catch rockfish you've got 2 weeks as DFG is going to close it early since too many "endangered" canary rockfish have been caught. Apparently high numbers of fish caught don't mean there are high numbers of fish, it means there are very few according to DFG. Subsequently, there must be millions of salmon since so few are being caught. Gotta love the new math.
