      Gage says the fish are close. Close enough to catch a slam in two hours, even. Fish weights from left to right are 11, 20, 21 and 26.5 pounds. Combined that's still not as big as Gage's head. Salmon bit in 60 feet of water at Tomales Point. 

     The shallow water bite was good enough for me to catch a 21 and 24 pound salmon tonight. It happened within a half-hour. I almost know how Gage feels, now. 
    Miller Time worked the shallows for limits of large salmon. These look to be the largest average limits landed here this year. There may have been faster limits, but not too many larger limits.

   The Marstons landed a couple of nice salmon in the shallow water today. The fish weren't jumping in the boat but there were some to be caught with some effort.

    The Johnson family caught one around today with the smallest fish about 20 pounds and the largest 30 pounds. That's some serious half-limits.

    Shrimp Boat limited on salmon by early afternoon and then took out a buddy for a second limit this evening. Largest fish weighed in at 24 pounds. There are a lot of fish out there and we need to catch as many as we can as there isn't enough water in the river to float as many fish as there are in the ocean.
