Tito Machado of Sacramento landed this 31 pounder yesterday, even though 30 pounders were definitely not "a dime a dozen." Maybe it was because I was fishing yesterday that the hogs weren't swarming. To be fair, there were lots of 20+ pound salmon to be had. The Bodega whistle bite slowed for some and brought quite a few boats down to the Bird Rock/Trees/McClures area. The whole area is holding salmon, it's just finding the ones that are biting for you that can be a little complicated at times. Most boats limited out but there were still a few folks looking for a first fish in the mid-afternoon. On our boat, we caught 5 and lost 3 others before 8:30 but didn't finish with our sixth fish until almost noon. Halibut is slow, rockfish slightly better, and redtailed surfperch are doing pretty well.
