This is Tyler Holland of Auburn with a 42 pound salmon, Ryan Robie of Lincoln with a 31 pound salmon, and Jim Clark of Auburn with a 24 pound salmon. And another salmon. These fish were caught in less than 80 feet of water, inside of where most of the sport fleet have been concentrating here. Irt turns out that there's some fish all over, 10 feet to 300 feet, but they mostly aren't easy. That makes them interesting.... Nice fricking job, Tyler and crew. Those jumbos are hard to hook and even harder to land...
Peter Kim went out today and caught a limit of salmon to 21 pounds. The bite picked up today, not as large of fish as Tyler and crew caught, but good enough. The bite had slowed on Thursday and Friday with less limits but still most boats catching a fish or two. Halibut, not awesome but not a waste of time.
Interesting fact: Normally when Dungeness closes the traps become legal. This year, nah. No traps until probably January, best case, it looks like.
