Teo Lally of Lodi caught this 23 pound salmon today, along with...
...this 22 pound halibut. The rest of his fishing team from the Shut Up and Fish got to share the frame on this picture. These fish came somewhere in the vicinity of McClure's Beach, but the exact location and depth was not shared.
Kevin Fogal and Dennis Carter on the Predator caught three yesterday and four the day before, all between Buoy "02" and Elephant.
Mitch Hamilton sent in this Tomales Bay report from yesterday:"Pretty good day with grandson Travis and son in law Brandon back by Hog Island, two other shorts released and a large keeper lost at the boat. I think it would have been even better if we could have caught more bait." Looks like you guys did pretty well with what you had.
Here's another bay report, but from Saturday:"Picked up South side of yellow buoy in by houses in 20 feet. Live shiners from pier for bait."
So, I kinda forgot to mention that next weekend, Saturday September 8, is the Merle Lawson Salmon Derby. It's open to anyone but you need to get entered before you launch and have your gutted salmon weighed in at the Lawson's Landing store by 4:00 PM. Entry is $50.00 per person and everyone on the boat needs to be entered. At least there's some fish around this year, so maybe we'll have ourselves a competition.
I just got back from a short Alaska trip. I finally got to experience tractor launching up there. I gotta tell you, ours at Lawson's is a lot easier.
Well that's an interesting launch!...kinda looked like my first weeks of working for you, all I remember is that slight head shake you'd give me, lol
ReplyDeleteHey look the guy got out of the tractor! That's service!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather launch out of Westside . No sand in wheel bearings and don't have to worry about tides to go or come back across the bar.
ReplyDeleteThere's fish around but also looks like the forecast is for a lot of wind this weekend - hope the wind holds off a day or so....
ReplyDeleteYour first season was mainly driving fast and dropping boat trailers off of the tractor ball. Some of us multiple times.

ReplyDeleteIt was amazing that you were able to drive you and your boat down at freeway speeds then blame me for driving too fast with a tractor that only goes 5-7 mph sure it wasn't your crappy boat trailer that I told you the hitch needed tighting or was it that you drank too much the night before lol
ReplyDeleteI bet the googone didnt want to get salt on his lifted truck thats never seen mud or rocks. Or is he the guy I saw at westside launching his cabin cruiser with a Tacoma.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the bite is picking up. Sea strangler got a dozen today. Go get them googones AB Fish is on daddy countdown. 11 days to go.
ReplyDeleteSea strangler or sea mangler?
ReplyDeleteThe minimum length for King Salmon should be 26" across the board. The 20" Salmon are two year fish, they don't even have any flavor, taste like trout! On my boat we have a 26" minimum, and we catch a lot of keepers. The commercial guys call the robin blue party boat "The baby raper". Isn't taking people fishing for money a commercial operation? In my option party boats should follow the same rules that the Fish and Game put on the hard working commercial fishermen trying to make a living!
ReplyDeleteThe wind is up and so is our ire!
ReplyDeleteSalmon were biting good yesterday, lots of boats had limited by noon between Bird and Elephant.
ReplyDelete(Unknown)Amen.
