Now, I like sushi, but I prefer that a little more effort went into its preparation and presentation. The sushi in this case is a 26 pound salmon caught by Zack Edwards at Elephant Rock. Elephant and McClure's Beach were the better spots for salmon the last couple of days. Numbers ran from zero to limits with the majority getting one or two. If you have some kind of hook glue to keep the fish attached once they're hooked, now is the time to use it. Of course, if that glue is a barb, don't do that. The ocean is a bit on the bumpy side for mooching but a few guys tried it and caught some salmon, even with the rods bouncing. If anyone caught a halibut they kept is a secret from me. If you're looking for a reason to rebuild your salmon reels, take them trolling over by the Esteros. The thresher sharks are abundant and eager to unspool your fishing line. The seaweed is pretty bad in spots, though.

Unfortunately McClure's has also been the best spot for those squid boats. Seems like the pattern has been great fishing there in the morning, then the squid boat arrives to scoop up all the bait, then the fleet has to move somewhere else.
