There were some salmon caught on Ten Mile last weekend but it wasn't what most guys were calling a good bite. A few boats caught limits but most boats returned with 0 to 1 salmon. Abbott's and the Keyholes were the better locations. The couple of boats that tried for halibut down there returned with none. The rockfish bite at Point Reyes was really good, at least. Inside Tomales Bay there were some halibut caught. Saturday was better than Sunday for reasons only the fish know. Sunday was especially slow near the yellow weather buoy. The water is still warm and there's still quite a bit of baitfish around, so it ain't over, it's just resting. Dungeness season is on the horizon so the State is starting the domoic acid testing this week with results to follow in October. Fingers crossed.....

Epic day Saturday for some...
Limit of salmon in ten minutes at Key Holes 65’ water.
Back in Tomales by 8:15am for a limit of Halibut north of Hog Island. Had to shorties and lost two at the boat.
Caught and released a 30” silver in the bay while drifting live anchovies.
