Flat water, again, or should I say, finally. The salmon bit, for a while. Gage says it's like a full moon bite, when the fish bite early and late. True. But it ain't the full moon. I think it's a pressure bite. Little pressure early, little pressure late, but midday, pressure, lots of boats trolling.  Not so much with the biting fish in midday. But a few guys caught some before the pressure shut them down.

   

     Todd Gentry caught this 21 pound salmon today, one of three for the boat. The fish came early in the day. His boat was the second one launched today. Early birds and worms.... Nice fish, sir. Largest today, here. Not a lot of contenders. Nice work, Todd and crew.

     Jody Stover has been here a few days and suffered from the bad weather and crappy fishing. Today he caught a nice salmon. What a difference a fish makes. Jody looks much happier today.

     Halibut has been slow as the bar has cooled off. Hog Island has improved as some of those fish have relocated there, but even an improved Hog Island fishery is still slow. There's fish, and you can catch them, but you're probably not catching limits for multiple people.
