There were some salmon taken yesterday but they required some effort. Fish were taken off of Bodega Head,  the Trees, McClure's, Elephant, and the Keyholes again, most of them feeding on the squid. The squid boats were working the piles of squid off of the Keyholes but there were still plenty of squid available for jigging up some live bait. Mooching and trolling worked or didn't, depending on the boat. We landed five salmon and lost five more off of McClure's Beach in 80 feet of water. Their bellies were completely stuffed with squid and they weren't biting aggressively at all. All of our action was on anchovies in blue/green Anchovy Special heads with long 10' to 20' leaders, no flashers and scraping bottom. We lost much gear. On halibut, a few boats had very good luck by Hog Island with catches up to six fish on jacksmelt.
