Team Barton caught four limits of salmon to 28 pounds today, five of them over 20. The first eleven boats to return limited out on salmon and the fish came from 50 to 60 feet of water south of Tomales Point. There are still fish out in 200 to 250 feet of water, but for those of us that like skimming our gear over the rocks, game on. The weather was less forgiving today and a lot of fish were lost just because of the poor conditions. The salmon have had krill, shortbelly rockfish, tomcod and squid in their stomachs, and with a smorgasbord like that they may not be leaving for a while. Dungeness season ended just OK, but there will still be quite a few crab dinners tonight.
