     Nick Nichols sent in this picture from Saturday in front of Bird Rock. Anybody know what that shape in the water is? Don't worry, it would know you. You're not allowed to fish for these, either.

    Kelley Roy sent in this report from yesterday:"There’s salmon out there, it’s not rock fishing so you just have to put in the time.
We got a late start and put the lines in  straight out of Tomales in 150 feet of water at 9:30, there were birds and whales working but we were not marking much bait. Around 11:00  in the matter of 30 minutes we had 4 good take downs with one smaller salmon sticking and we somehow snapped the leader at the boat – I thought those days were over……..
We then moved down to McClure’s and tried the beach for a couple runs for nada then headed back out to the Tree’s in 130 to 150 feet of water and trolled north, same deal birds and whales but only seeing a little bait. At 3:30 within 20 minutes we had 2 salmon in the box.
Four of the hits came on a watermelon apex at 70 – 80 feet otw and 2 hits came on a crippled anchovy at about 50 pulls.

Gorgeous day on the water – hope these salmon stick around for a few more weeks.

Good luck!"

     Bob King caught these salmon today in 130 feet of water off of McClure's. There were a few other fish caught there, as well as 50 feet of water in front of Bird Rock, but the bait, birds, and dark water of Monday had all disappeared. Cold clear water prevails, but apparently you can still catch fish in it.

  4. If it's not a great white, it looks like it's a pretty good one.

  6. I was on the 19' C-Dory and we estimated it to be about 12 - 13 ft. About 2/3 the length of the boat.

  7. Ten days ago Monday the 19th we had a Great White run into the side of our boat. We were in 120 feet of water between the head and the point. The dam thing hit the side of the boat, then we could feel it brush the bottom of the boat, and jump out of the water on the other side. I'll never forget that face, must have been 15 feet long. Scared the crap out of me!

  9. Yes Greg is right about the size. It was a Great White just cruising right below the surface. We saw it clearly but it was hard for me to take pics with my phone and maneuver the boat. We followed it for a few minutes hoping for it to surface but never did. I think it was just curious. And yes I need a bigger boat.
