Take your pick, it was good fishing at the islands and on the salmon grounds.
We had around a fish and a half per rod on the salmon today and too many lost fish to begin to count.
Brian was at the islands with the New CD and checked in early with limits of rockfish and ling cod. We have room this upcoming week for salmon and potluck trips. We will be doing Island runs on the days with good weather.
Final count
California Dawn 2
29 salmon to 25 pounds for 20
New California Dawn
200 rockfish (limits)
40 ling cod (limits) to 15
