How about an inshore fish? This salmon came from 80 feet of water (exact location withheld by submitter). Maybe the fish quit biting out deeper because they moved in closer? Maybe Scott Mason is just wicked lucky skilled? Time will tell. The surfperch bite is going off all up and down Dillon Beach with some redtails mixed in with the barred perch. Remember, redtails need to be 10.5" long to keep them. Dungeness crabbing in the bay is slow but there's definitely a good chance of not being skunked.

Scott's fish weighed 25 pounds and was the only salmon bite he had, but what a bite. The only other salmon I heard about was one other boat fishing 270 feet of water with two fish, both caught on a red FBR behind a hammered watermelon dodger.
