How about some mooched salmon? These two limits to 28 pounds were caught while mooching in the middle of the fleet in front of McClure's yesterday. With all of the bait there it made sense to park on it, but it seemed a bit too much like playing shuffleboard on the freeway to me. Too much traffic. Of course, as I came home with nothing, maybe I should have shut off the engine. 

    Here's a report from today from Kelley Roy:"Willy

Last day for me and the “Belly Jean” this year. Found a 17 1/4 pounder down at McClure's with the fleet." Nice way to finish up.

   John Rosasco of Stockton caught this 25 pound salmon at McClure's today. The bait wasn't nearly as thick as it had been yesterday but there were still a few salmon around. Jellyfish are a problem at 80 feet of water and probably deeper but nobody I spoke to ventured past the wall of slime to look. The halibut have been biting well around Hog Island the last couple of days. This weekend is supposed to be windy, so it must be time for a salmon derby. We may change the name to the Merle Lawson Salmon Windvatational. Time to try your hand at overhead netting! Or maybe just let the waves gently wash the fish over the rails and into the boat. Either way, there will be stories.
