Peter Honebein sent in this picture from today. "17lb 220' off point. 80' on wire in morning. Lost another at the boat about an hour later." For those of you familiar with your GPS, that's about 14 and 3. Oddly, it had a mackerel in its belly. 

     Louis Silva of Sacramento caught this nice 15 pound salmon today in 120' of water off of McClure's Beach. It was his first and the boat's only fish. Not everybody did as well today and almost nobody did as well they'd hoped. The salmon and the halibut fishing was spotty. Bites were fairly scarce and when they did bite there was a good chance the fish would get away. One boat lost six salmon. At least one big striper was caught and intentionally released by Hog Island (my releases are almost all unintentional).
