This 11 pound salmon was caught by Thomas from Sonora yesterday.

Also yesterday, Chris Cortez from Sunnyvale got a limit of halibut, two of them weighing 20 pounds each. The halibut bite was better on the bar than by Hog Island and there were even a few stripers in the mix on the bar. Catches ranged from 0-3 halibut. The Bodega Whistle (buoy "12") salmon bite continues with a few boats catching limits but many boats going without a bite. Even though it's flaky it's still the best salmon bite we've had this year. Remember, it's trolling only in a good portion of the fishing area off of Bodega Head and no fishing at all in in another part.
