Scott from Auburn came by to show off today's catch. The halibut bit a shortbelly rockfish and a shiner perch. Scott also reported that a neighboring boat limited for two people with shiners. They were fishing on the northwest side of Hog Island in the channel. Another boat picked up three halibut on the bar. The salmon were even slower than usual for most of the fishermen, although I did hear of three boats catching their limits of kings. Most guys ended up with nothing but "consolation prize" rockfish. Don't get me wrong, I like rockfish. It's just that it's like going on Jeopardy! and coming home with the year's supply of Rice-A-Roni.
