Mark Gulliford and son of Sacramento caught salmon to 20.5 pounds today. 

Jerry Knedel and Vern Sasaki limited on salmon to 18 pounds. All were caught on lures fished as deep as 150 feet down. The action has slipped south, centering on about 38° 12' by 123° 4', or about 4 miles west of Elephant Rock. Hootchies, Apexes and the usual array of bait/baithead combos are taking the fish. Downriggers aren't mandatory for success, but almost. Dragging around a 3 pound ball isn't fun for you, the gear, or the fish. On shore, there was a hot surfperch bite about halfway down Dillon Beach. The water is pretty flat and really clear with seaweed and kelp at a minimum for great abalone diving.
