Here's a report from last week:"Hey Willy,

Sorry for the late report but a friend and I got limits last Wednesday and 5 on Thursday. Live bait in a channel north of hog. Next time I will report sooner!

Thanks, Swampy" An earlier report would have been nice, but including a photo of where I caught a fish more than makes up for it. On Tuesday I picked up a halibut on the bar and another almost within the frame of this photo, both on live jacksmelt.   

    Wednesday there were a few salmon caught near Abbott's Lagoon and a couple of others from 50 to 80 feet of water in front of Bird Rock. At that time there wasn't very much bait at Bird but the howling South wind yesterday must have blown some in because by last evening there were many blackout-the-meter schools of anchovies between Buoy 02 and Bird Rock in 60 to 90 feet of water. There was at least one 20 pound salmon that bit at gray light. It looked a lot like last year in early October when there were quite a few fish there. Maybe tomorrow's wind won't blow it all out?
