John Morozumi caught this 24# salmon off of Tomales Point today. He was trolling near the bottom in 60' of water. There were a few halibut and a striper caught on the bar, all on live bait. The water was not nice today.

No salmon landed this week, but no salmon fishing either. The rain kept most people off the water, but the two boats that fished the bar caught halibut. A pair of divers said the visibility was pretty bad on Tuesday but still speared three halibut. The water is still warm and brown, so, weather permitting, the fish should still be out there.

Top boat for Sunday was John Rosasco and Dave Prater of Stockton with 6 halibut and a salmon. All the fish came from Ten Mile and were caught while jigging. There was a limit of salmon and a few other singles from the Towers area. Another boat had three salmon while trolling in the area of Bird and the Trees. All in all, quite a bit of salmon action for October.

This one's not a keeper but it's sure a looker. This sunfish (mola) was about 6 feet long, which is pretty large for one around here. They can get much larger, up to 14 feet long and over 5000 pounds. This is one of the few critters that eat jellyfish, so if you see one, please leave it alone to go do his job. They've got a lot of eating to do.

Yesterday's catch numbers ran from 0 to 8 fish landed, with the average being around 2 fish. On Ten Mile there were more halibut taken than salmon, but the top boat from here (the local legend) had an even mix of 4 salmon and 4 halibut. McLure's had nothing to offer but seaweed but the bar had a few halibut for the determined few that fished it. The south wind blew pretty strong through the middle of the day making fishing difficult, especially for the guys that drift. The weather looks better today but not too promising after that.
