We had 2 trips out today. The NCD was out on the salmon grounds and finished up right at a fish per rod with some great quality.
 
California Dawn 2 had a Phenix Rods / Optimum Baits sponsored trip fishing pretty much anything that would bite. The day turned out excellent with the group catching a variety of fish using swimbaits.
We have a couple spots left for salmon tomorrow on the NCD
