Here's Dale Fortner with two salmon he caught on the Got One. I'm told he trolled them up off of Bodega Head in 90 feet of water on Thursday.

These salmon were caught today and weighed 21 and 24 pounds. The bite today, which has been neither fast nor for everyone, has been from Bird Rock to the Keyholes in 70 to 90 feet of water. Some boats have salmon and quite a few other boats have none, so no guarantees. I heard of as many as five on a boat but only witnessed a couple of boats holding more than one.
Will James picked up this halibut by Hog Island on a live sardine. The halibut bite has slowed a bit in the bay but not stopped. Ten Mile has been very good for some, with the high boat landing a dozen flatfish. 
Here's a picture from Wednesday that I missed. This is Jim Russel from Watsonville (on the right). His pal on the left weighed 22 pounds.
