I received this picture and note from Ron Johnson this evening :"My Lucky Charm fished with me today." Now I've heard Terry Fogal called many things, but this has to be a first. It looks to be true, however, as these guys caught some damn nice fish, the largest three weighing 20, 23 and 24 pounds. The smallest doesn't look very small. Yesterday was a rough one for Mr. Johnson, both weather- and salmon-wise, but today was a little better on the weather and way better on the salmon. The two gentlemen fished a bit north of Abbott's in 70ish feet of water. 

   There was loads of bait at the Keyholes/Elephant and in the outer bay, plus quite a bit more scattered around Bird Rock and the Trees, just not too many salmon biting there today. Tomorrow? These fish have tails and they tend to use them. I haven't heard much on the halibut front, so my choice would be salmon tomorrow, with a good chance I'd stop short on feeding birds. At least for a few minutes.
