We had 2 trips out today.
The California Dawn 2 was fishing the Farallon islands with “lights out” action. The boat was in early with limits.
New CD checked in around 1 with”slow” salmon bite. Scores sounded like under a fish per rod.
We have room tomorrow for a Live bait potluck aboard the New CD. Plenty of space left. The boat will be targeting rockfish , ling cod and halibut
Final count

230 rockfish (limits)
46 ling cod (limits) to 18 pounds
