     There's quite a few hungry salmon from at least McClure's Beach to almost Bodega Head, and from 120 to 200 feet of water. That I witnessed, at least. Conditions looked good even shallower. I dropped in on bait in 90 feet of water off of Bird and trolled through constant krill out to the fleet in 140' where I hooked (and lost) my first fish. There were several whales scattered through the area (perhaps some blues or finbacks? Sei whales?) and the sound of their feeding is possibly what's attracting the salmon. Whatever is calling the salmon in, they're there and have been for a couple of days now. Probably not coincidentally it's the same place that salmon have been caught (off and on) since the start of the season. It is reasonable to assume that they may stick around (off and on) for awhile. I also saw probably 500 pelicans flying North at just before sundown tonight. I am hoping that means the baitfish are moving this way.
