Here's a good report from Monday: "Got all these just north of the river in 250 ' 80-90 on the wire.lost two nice ones" I prefer catching reports to skunk reports (all reports are good information; happy reports are, not surprisingly, happier), so that makes this a good report, even if it's a bit late on the posting. As of now, there's salmon (some) being caught out in front of Bodega in about 250 feet of water. They're mostly not big but they're October salmon, so.... The weather turns on us tomorrow and is going to be doing a little of the rarer fall upwelling this week. 

      Since we're talking about good reports, here's another, this one from Thursday the 15th: "Hey Willy,

Beautiful day out on the bay today with my son Paolo and good friend Rick. Paolo was rewarded with a buck tail jig caught striper off Pelican Point. No halibut for us today and had the whole bay almost to ourselves.

Andrew Forchini" You gotta love those jig fish. There's something to be said for enticing a fish to bite a goofy-looking chunk of steel, lead, and hair. Nice fish, and way to save the day, Paolo. 

      

   My reports are late, this time because I went on a fishing trip with Gage and Cameron. While we didn't catch what we wanted to (we never have yet) we had a great time on the Polaris Supreme. I have been wanting to try fishing a surface iron since I first heard of it and it was awesome. Thanks to Monkey the deckhand/co-captain for the coaching. I have never seen fish bite like the dorado did.
