     Yesterday Gage, Chris Brown, Nathan Duby and I tried for salmon in the outer bay. We finished with two salmon for a long day, then jigged up a couple of halibut (and missed about ten more bites) on the bar just before we had to pull the boat. The limits of salmon from the day before eluded us. There was lots of bait and what looked like salmon on the fishfinder, just not many biters. I heard of some others caught there, a few mooching and a few trolled up off of Doran Beach. There were a few salmon caught today in some less-than-ideal conditions; a couple at McClure's and a couple at Buoy "02". Jesse Keilman and his crew caught a 30 pounder there this morning. The wind is up and is expected to blow for the next few days, but how hard it will blow in close remains to be seen. Even if it doesn't blow hard on the beach the water will be riled up. It seems that there's a few fish around but catching them is almost as hard as staying in the boat.
