The salmon fishing seemed slow on Tuesday but Wednesday really slowed down. The only local fish I heard about was this one. According to the Tomales Outlaw, "We were the only boat at 15x5 and this was the only salmon there as well." So, if you were thinking about heading out to that location, it is now empty. It's rumored that Mr. Outlaw may have rubbed Doug's belly but that's only a rumor. The salmon bite has been good far to the northwest on the 38º 32' line or so. Timber cove? Far. The salmon still aren't in the shallows but Gage says they're coming.

    Probably.

     With salmon fishing dead and halibut fishing only slightly better, Gage decided to take his visiting guest fishing for stripers. Over the last two days they caught six and missed twice as many bites. The largest weighed 31 pounds yesterday and 25+ today (released). Pieter of Redrum baits had a good time.
