There was a stiff south wind today that made the fishing tough inshore. The few boats that went out from here were all back by 2:00 without salmon or halibut. One had a few rockfish but had trouble drifting slow enough in the wind. There was a salmon taken on Ten Mile yesterday, where the aptly named Got One got one bite, one fish, while trolling the length of the beach. It sounds like there's more stripers on the bar than halibut (but not too many of either). Offshore, the albacore made a good showing with a couple of boats catching 50 or more around 44 and 18. Finally, I heard a tale of sardines and squid(!) being caught in Marshall. If the sardines are like the ones in Bodega Bay (big) then they're probably better filleted than trolled.
