    These fellows, along with several others, caught limits of salmon to 23 pounds yesterday. It wasn't a wide open bite but a steady scratch throughout the day. Salmon were caught all over, from the outer bay to Bird Rock. McClure's, and Ten Mile beach, in 35 to 80 feet of water. Most successful fishermen were running their gear "danger close" to the bottom. I say this not just because I sell replacement gear but because it's working. Those fish aren't getting red bellies from sunburn.
      Updated report for today is that fish were caught but not as well as yesterday. The anchovies schools are dense enough to walk on but the fish (who are probably overfed) just don't seem too interested in what fishermen are offering. There were still a few limits today, so it's not like they won't bite, they just don't really want to.
