    Lots of salmon action today, although most of the salmon were silvers. I heard of someone on the radio saying that he had caught 11 silvers and no kings. That's a lot of endangered fish. There are still quite a few kings and a few guys found them quick and limited before noon. Same general area, 16 and 6, 17 and 7, etc. A few guys tried in closer (30 to 60 feet of water below Bird Rock) and found bait but no salmon. Soon, though, they will be there. In the bay there were a few halibut caught, mostly on live bait near the yellow buoy. Someone caught and released a 26 pound (estimated, I hope) striper near there. Raoul Duke sent in a report from yesterday: 

"Howard Koons caught this nice vermillion and two 12 pound salmon,  the salmon were at 275 feet of water off Bodega Head."


     Allen Evans of Santa Rosa sent in these photos and report:"Fished off Bird Rock in 240 feet of water...120 feet OTW...Ocean was beyond flat! One 15lb fish for a couple hours trolling." Nice water, and nice fish, Allen.
