   Scott Alexander caught this 26 pound salmon today off of Bird Rock. It was one of three for the boat, securely placing them at the top of the pack of boats fishing from here today. Next best was one salmon, then a lot of long faces. Faces that looked like my face yesterday. Yesterday there were some nice salmon caught between the Trees and Buoy "02" in 60 to 100 feet of water. The average boat had at least one nice salmon, teens or larger, with at least one boat catching four. A few of us caught none. This area is probably a good place to avoid if you want to catch a lingcod as there's now several hundred shorties in the area with sore lips. On the halibut front, well, if somebody is catching they're not talking to me. All I heard was sad stories. There has been fairly steady bat ray action, though.
