Shoulda Been Here Yesterday Salmon.

Heard some good reports of some big Salmon being caught close to shore north of Bodega. So I baled on Fort Ross and gave it a try. Perfect day on the blue ankle slappers on the beach all day no wind no fog but it was way too hot for a wet suit . Trolled, trooched for 5 hours 1 drive-by. The salmon were there just not bitting saw 2 10 lb or so caught but 0 for me fishing 40' of water saw big salmon jumping all over the place but few hook ups. Hit a rock for some dinner got a couple underlings and lost a nice hitch hiker got a few rockies for tacos.  Saw a big school of dolphins attacking a school of bait, bait and dolphins flying out of the water incredable. It was great just being on the water.

Sounds like a Great day ot there...

  HMmmmm ,  Lots of talk about Salmon all of a sudden,

  Maybe it's not over just yet..... But that Rockfish fallback sure is ...... Danglin

Great report Mike,  Salmon would have been good, but the rockfish consolation prize, is not bad either.

Great report, lots of variety and action! sounds fun,  .

Hearing stuff like that makes me want to load up the car and hit the road int he middle of the night

That was the m.o. 20 years ago but sad to say no more

maybe northside should be seeing similar action soon



jmairey how's it going?

jmairey how's it going?

Great pablo, I'm just slumming with the rockfish for a bit here. A real salmon would be cool tho.
maybe there's still some time?

Nice try Mike.  Sounds like a great day on the ocean, wish I could have joined you.

Jim "InSeine" is not going to like hearing that salmon where being caught out shallow in front of his house while we was off camping at Salt Point.

My wife would love for me to do a little rfish slumming(preferably in landlord territory) so I might have to one of these days

there's a big salmon out there with a neon sign on its side flashing "jmairey come get me!" 

have to put away the rockfish jigs for a day though

although I did see a guy get one on a hex bar at LM once

It's all about the blood on the hood
