The Fishing Fools gang was on the prowl for salmon again. There were some salmon caught during the weekdays last week between Point Reyes and Tomales Bay, but by the weekend the bite was over. So, with no hot bite to run to, we started our day around Pedro Point and tried spots from Pedro all the way up to Duxbury. The guys got to refresh their memories on what a real salmon looks like when they actually had a hook up, but it turned out to be a shaker and had to be released. For those of you wondering why we're not scheduling salmon trips, this is why: very few fish south of the Golden Gate this year with only a handful caught in our territory since the end of May. The salmon season is far from over and the fish may magically appear and we may get one more hurrah, but we're not holding our breath. So, it's back to rockfishing tomorrow, thank goodness, and back to catching fish.
