A couple of days ago a guy told me that "30 pounders are a dime a dozen this year." I am almost starting to believe it. Today there were at least a dozen salmon over 30 pounds brought in here. Angel Loera here caught two of them, at 32 and 33 pounds.

Gina Magures of Placerville caught this nice 21 pound salmon today.

Not to be outdone, Tim Hannah, also of Placerville, caught this 26.5 pound salmon.

Jesse Keilman of South Lake Tahoe made the trek out to Dillon Beach this week for quick limits of big salmon at the Bodega Whistle. Jesse and crew found the salmon easier to catch than the rockfish.

Toms Brodsky and Cook pose with Cook's 32 pound salmon. Mr. Brodsky skillfully parked the boat over the top of the beast and smoothly netted it (on the third try).

The Rodbender, captained by Larry Varela, is now taking trips out of the Landing. Here's some pictures of his trips from last Friday and Saturday. His info is at http://rodbendersportfishing.com/ .

      Also of note today were three halibut, one from Ten Mile, one from McClures and John Schiesser of Granite Bay caught a 21 pounder in front of the Landing in 4.5 feet of water on a trolled, live shiner.
