A bit slower on the salmon today. The South wind was back again and so was the cussing at it. Everybody I spoke with had at least hooked a fish for a bit, but these krill fish seem pretty skilled at slipping the hook. The two fish in the picture failed to slip the hook and came ashore with Travis Barton and company. They would have had more except the nincompoop launching them was able to get the boat trailer stuck in the mud on the way in. Some people have to work at doing stupid stuff but I seem to be a natural. Everybody got to wait an extra half hour while I got a bigger tractor to (barely) pull out the boat and start over. Sorry... There were other salmon caught but I didn't hear of anyone from our launch really whomping them. It sounded like the dark water where the fish were caught yesterday kind of wandered off.
There was one fisherman I spoke with today that caught a few halibut on the troll but the live baiters had a hard time trying to drift liveys at trolling speed in the wind.

3 hours trying early am for salmon i got a 16 pounder. 2-3 miles south of tomales point. 190' 88' wire. find the whales. You find the krill hope for a salmon. I saw one netted same time I hooked up. Lots of boats thats all i saw. Heard a couple caught on the radio.
Fished yesterday, lots of boats, not many fish.there's a line of commercial crab pots out about 200' of water off the trees and runs south,the bouys were bobing up and down under the water, we didn't see em before it was too late.It was a cluster fu.. to say the least. Drag system on the downriggers worked fine, ended up losing one lead.lots of krill and whales. We landed one Salmon 10lbs in 70'off the trees 40' OTW.
Natural nincompoops like us need to stick together.
