No takers on salmon from here this weekend. The commercial guys got to start on Thursday and found that the bait and whales in closer didn't have the most important thing, salmon. They eventually found them out in 50 fathoms or more (which is 300+ feet of water to you and me). Not many big 'uns but they're throwing back a lot of fish you and I could keep (between 20" and 27"). The word is that there are anchovies all over but no krill to be seen, at least on the meter. The fish are still pretty red, though, so there must be some krill somewhere. There's a few mackerel in with the salmon. I'm not sure what that means, except that the smaller ones make great bait for almost everything. There were a few more halibut caught by Hog Island on Friday but I didn't hear of any over the wet weekend. Anybody boating should be aware that the rain and the high tides have added a few logs floating around. Try to go around them.

How deep can you mooch? Does the thirty fathom rule apply?
Is there any restriction of taking or digging clams thank you

No depth restrictions on mooching, only methodology. I haven't heard of a clam closure but they don't always let me know right away. Did you hear something? Seems like warm water critters are showing up but the water ain't that warm.
Sent my buddy out to 300 ft. They put 3 in the box at 175ft on the wire.
