Nick Nichols sent in this report from Sunday/Monday:"Attached are some pics from Sunday and yesterday. Rockfish from Point Reyes. Salmon off of Ten Mile, about 70’ of water, Watermelon Apex for both." It's just like a Watermelon Apex to save the trip, like an old, dependable friend. 

    Eddie Kim sent in this successful report from Tuesday:"My daughter Kiana far right & Lincoln caught their very first halibut ever! 

Also Lincoln's first time rockcod fishing. 

Got the 3 Hali's in the morning then hit the cod" Eddie is going to give them the wrong impression, that this fishing stuff is easy.

   Nick hopped a ride with Eddie Kim yesterday and showed Eddie how to catch salmon. Just toss 'em slow and easy.

    Today the salmon decided to go ahead and bite again. I'd like to think that it's because I got out on the water again but.... no, that was probably it. The beaches (both Ten Mile and McClure's) held salmon that, after examining their full stomachs, probably shouldn't have been hungry. One of our best fish was lost and when the line was reeled in there was a partially digested anchovy on the previously unbaited hooks on the hootchy. There wasn't much bait on the beach where we were but there were huge schools of anchovies out in 60 to 80 feet of water. We got lines in the water at 8:00, had half limits by 8:30 and were running home with limits at 10:00. I could get used to this, but I probably won't get a chance to. Seems like these bites are for a couple of days and then the fish move, probably farther North. Might be a good bite at the Head , Carmet or the Russian River by this weekend. Or not. The fish aren't saying. Also, some small halibut action around Hog in the last few days and a few stripers caught both by Hog and in the surf.
