While there are a very few scattered salmon around off of Tomales Point (one boat has been quietly catching 1 to 4 salmon a day at 14 and 4) most of the boats that tried out front caught nothing. The Russian River held fish for the local boats that ventured north with everyone from here catching either limits or one fish shy of limits. The bite was best early and most of the fleet was in 80 feet of water, although I heard of one boat picking up 3 salmon out in 220 feet. Maybe you don't have to fish the fleet to catch. There were a couple of halibut caught by Hog Island today but none from the bar. Seven divers worked the bar over pretty hard this morning and saw no halibut. Lots of needlefish, though, so they should be back soon. The south wind is pretty gusty in the afternoon making for a bumpy, wet ride home.
