There are some salmon coming from off of Carmet to Fort Ross in 200-300 feet of water and as deep as you can get your gear. Of course, these salmon came from McClure's Beach in 60 feet of water. The McClure's bite this year has been, let's call it flaky. Good to great for a day (or an hour) and then dead for a week. Hopefully the fish stick around for a bit, but if you have the downrigger, maybe think about Carmet.
Steven Knudsen sent in this Saturday report:"Tomales local, Eric Knudsen caught his very first keeper King Salmon this weekend trolling off Jenner at 230 feet and 75 on the wire. " Very nice.
The rockfishing has been good in the deeper water at Bird Rock, Elephant Reef, and points south. You can fish out to approximately 240 feet and the best bite that I have heard of was 160' or deeper. Before you go, familiarize yourself with identifying yelloweye rockfish, as they have been showing up in the shallows like they never have before.

Abfish, Willy, anyone - do you have any news on the salmon coming down our way?
Anyone chasing them locally?
Chasing, yes. Catching, .....? Yes, but not many. There's a few fish around but we're still waiting for the big push" of salmon coming through. Conditions are right, good water color, bait, etc. Just add salmon.
