With the opening of the use of bait this week the fishing was pretty good. Prior to bait the Dept. of Fish & Game estimated that it took 37 hours to catch a king salmon. After bait they've estimated it at 17 hours. Overall, in my boat we landed about a dozen fish and missed twice as many. The fishing was never hot but if you grinded it out usually a few fish would be caught each day. That's what bait can do. It gives us a shot at catching a fish all day long instead of just a morning bite.
For those of you who are interested in the red salmon fishing, the Russian River has been very good. In fact, they are opening the Sanctuary one month ahead of schedule due to the strength of the run. Time to fill your freezers.
One last thought, Mike, Tom, and Harv, thanks for hanging in there on Saturday.

Glad to see you're catchin' fish -- keep the boat full of both species 'clients and fish'.
Have a good week -- not much here, we're catchin' some big northers on sucker minnows -- otherwise it's golf.
