We had an awesome day of salmon fishing. The weather was gorgeous and even had some visitors from the south. “No doubt from the El Niño. We got into a big school of Bonita.
Tomorrow’s trip has room for salmon and we also have a live Bait potluck boat going out New Californiadawn. The weather is absolutely gorgeous and it’s a great time to get a halibut as well.
Final count
31 salmon to 26 pounds
13 Bonita to 18 pounds for 20
