Joey Petrilla caught a 20 pound salmon yesterday. Not as big as his 24 pound salmon from the day before but he seems kind of okay with it.

     Peter and Beth Honebein caught their limits of salmon yesterday. Guess who caught the big one? This one hit 20 pounds and all fish came from very near Point Reyes. 

     All of these salmon pictures would almost give a person the idea that the salmon bite is wide open. That would be quite a stretch. It appears that, with a break in the Northwest wind, the salmon and baitfish are transitioning from the deeper water towards the shore. If the real strong wind leaves us alone for long enough we should have something approaching wide open salmon bite right on the front porch (figuratively) by the end if the this coming week. Or, the wind could blow hard and push the salmon and bait back offshore. The forecast is leaning towards the second thing, but we can dream...

    ...And hey, if the wind does blow, at least there's halibut in the bay.
