FISHING: Good
Salmon fishing was PICKING UP with quite a few fish in the thirties being caught. However, considering the number of anglers fishing in the Wallaby derby, not a lot of salmon were caught. Secretary (Donaldson) Island was the most productive spot to fish for springs that weighed as much as 35 ½ lbs. Otter Point is starting to turn on for fish in the teens and twenties. Most anglers are catching springs at the 50 to 80 foot on the downrigger. Large anchovies were the most productive bait. The most successful teaser heads have been the in Glow Green patterns. If you want to troll hootchies, Purple Haze or Green/White remains the best choices. Spoons were also working well, especially those with Glow /Green. Some we would recommend are the #4 Coyotes, #4 Titans or #5 Gibbs Gators in Glow /Green, Silver/Green or Black/Glow. Halibut fishing was fair out to the west. A few ”chickens” were brought in. Herring and octopus fished off a spreader bar is the best way to catch them.
