    Trip Plumb sent in a photo from yesterday, when the fish were biting:"Jennifer had a nice Salmon from the Trees. It bit on the striped Boots" No comment attached about whether the boots were trolled or mooched.

    Cameron snapped a photo while pulling out boats today:"Picked up below hog trolling herring. Only halibut plus an assortment of sharks and rays." So at least somebody caught fish today. The really good salmon bite yesterday changed to a scratch bite today, one that caused the hordes of fishermen looking for a bite to rapidly clump around anyone foolish enough to wave a net. By the afternoon the bite had picked up a bit with some fish getting caught all over, from Tomales Point to Ten Mile in 60 to 180 feet of water, but the most consistent bite was for the guys that gave up on fighting the crowd and went out deep (200-300 FOW) and fished the krill line. Lots of smaller fish and a few larger ones, just like on the beach, but nobody cutting you off or playing chicken. Also, near the shore, the jellyfish returned today and the thresher sharks bit better for some people (Gage) than the salmon. Tomorrow is another day and the salmon and halibut will have to eat again soon.
