So, there's a few salmon out there. Not for me, but over the past couple of days I heard of some fish landed from 90 out to 210 feet of water from the Trees up to Bodega Head. It appeared to be an uphill current (running to the North) today which would theoretically indicate that the baitfish, and thus the salmon, would be stacked up on the Southern edges of the local reefs. All this clever local knowledge got me a big sack of nothing this morning. There are some anchovies out there and if you can locate them you will probably locate some hungry salmon. A few small schools of the tiny critters have found their way into Tomales Bay and may have led a few more halibut in. The few boats out on the bay fishing for halibut have been catching some but nothing like the photos and stories from San Francisco Bay. Out time will come here (I keep saying) but my guess is it will be little while longer. The last couple of years we had quite a few pelicans around working the 'chovies, and while we had a few pelicans a month ago they now seem to have found their food somewhere else. There's a lot of krill out front but there's a couple of good reasons you've never seen a pelican at the Red Lobster all-you-can-eat shrimp extravaganza. 

    My apologies if I got political last post, but when you've got a (metaphorical) pit bull chewing on your butt it is only natural that you comment on it. My family and I look forward to receiving some timing estimates and guidance toward safe reopening practices this week. Until we receive it I will continue my mental health regimen of alternating fishing and cheladas. And I'm almost out of cheladas.
