There were a few salmon caught this week off of Tomales Point in 90 feet of water but the bite (such as it was) slowed down. One of the fish caught had a belly full of larval crabs and Pacific sandlance (needlefish). Popular opinion is that the fish are moving back out to the 50 fathom line (300 feet) to eat the krill balls that have reformed after the wind quit. The only fish I saw today was taken out in 220 feet of water. The same fisherman caught and released a steelhead yesterday. The Dungeness are still being caught in the bay and outside but location is important. One crabber had ten Dungeness in the outer bay on an overnight soak, while a quarter mile away another crabber caught ten for two guys in two days with twice the pots. Surfperch are finally finding their way into into surf fishermens' buckets and not just the osprey's bellies.
