Remember when you were little and you thought that monsters lived in the dark? It turns out that it was true. This monster bit as the last light faded and weighed in at 55 pounds. Robert caught it after nailing the salmon at Abbott's Lagoon. Several boats returned with limits of salmon from there yesterday, but today was windier but much slower. They bit so well yesterday that I almost limited. Reports from points north, like Salmon Creek, Carmet and Fort Ross sound more consistent for salmon. Halibut on the bar and back by Hog Island has picked up again and a few guys have done very well fishing dead squid for flatties. The rockfish bite has been pretty good for most guys. There's still stripers getting caught from the beach. I saw about a 12 pounder (caught on a popper) get carried in today and heard about another one yesterday.
