More halibut, no salmon, last chance Dungeness




More halibut from the Hog Island area were caught today, up to 17 pounds. The average size was about 8 to 10 pounds. Live smelt and jack mackerel put the flatties in the box. Having excellent bait is no guarantee, as some good fishermen went without bites today, but others did ok. The last chance for Dungeness is now, as the season ends next week. Luckily there's a fresh batch of crab moving in, not many, but more than we've had around for a while.  The pictured large Dungeness was caught on the pier last night. No salmon yet, but if we will see them at all this year it will be from mid - July to mid - August.
