Let's start with the good news. Steve Werlin (the former Dark Lord) demonstrated that his mojo was back with this 38 pound hog. The adipose fin on that fish is almost big enough to be a keeper on its own. There was also a 28 pound salmon in the boat, but I assume that it was caught by his boatmate, Chris Wall. These fish were caught near the Trees on the troll.

    Fishing nearby were these gentlemen. Gage says, "Sean Bottomley and James Bratt from Nevada City with a 34 lb salmon at the trees 65 ft of water 60 otw". So, yes, there's some big fish out there. So ends the good news.

    The bad news is that was pretty much it. There were a few other salmon caught out of here but not many. A few more were lost. But by and large the guys that came back with fish had rockfish. Even the boats that slayed them yesterday had none today. Maybe the water was too calm? Is that a thing? I hope not. There was bait, 56º brown, flat water, but very, very few biters. Yes, there were jellyfish. That's just the deal. Maybe tomorrow there will be biters. There'd better be some on Thursday. The only consolation for salmon guys was that the halibut bite was a tiny bit worse.
