More boats, less fish.

The bite at the whistle slowed a bit today. It might have something to do with the roar of a thousand boat engines overhead. It appears that some of the fish have relocated as I heard of fish coming from McLure's Beach up to the Russian River. Nevertheless, many, many salmon were caught. For instance, Kenji Nakagawa of Lodi caught this 25 pounder today.

Jason and Jim Hughes of Santa Rosa caught these two limits, including a pair of 20 pounders.

Janet Alexander of Phoenix caught this nice 25 pound king. 
   I was a bit surprised by the number of boats showing up to go fishing today, but after hearing about the launching line for Westside in Bodega Bay, I get it. Probably the salmon could use a two day break, and luckily for them, they get it. This will be the last closure until the season actually closes on November 10.
