Salmon returning to the beach?

The best place to fish today was on Don Meier's boat. Four salmon to 42# and limited out before noon. Mr. Meier was in 50' of water off of McLures Beach. So were several other boats, but nobody else came close. Next best that I heard of was two salmon to 33# from the outer bell buoy. Some other salmon came from 50-ish feet of water at Elephant Rock. It's not red hot but the feeling around here is if the wind lays off we should see a good inshore bite by late this weekend or maybe early next week. A few halibut on the bar today and a few others from past Pt. Reyes. Rockfish, slow but steady. Rockfish of note: Stacy Barton's boat brought back a tiger rockfish yesterday and a treefish today. We're interested in seeing what he brings in tomorrow.
