FISHING: Fair
The salmon fishing is having a LATE START in local waters. This past weekend, most of the springs taken weighed between 13 to 30 lbs and were caught trolling from 50 to 70 feet down near Church Rock. The biggest fish on the weekend was a 40 lb spring that was NOT entered in the WALLABY CLUB DERBY! Considering the number of anglers fishing in the derby, not a lot of salmon were caught. Anchovy is accounting for most of the salmon caught trolling and Green Scale or Glow Green have been the most productive teaser head colors. If you want to troll spoons, try #4 Coyotes, #4 Titans or #5 Gibbs Gators in Green/Silver, Blue/Silver or Black/Glow. Good squirts/hootchies to use were the Purple Haze, Mint Tulip, Army Truck, and Jellyfish. Anglers jigging for springs have had consistent success jigging from the Deep Hole to the RCM Blasting sign. The needlefish Lucky Jigs or Gibbs Minnows have been good lures to jig. HALIBUT – This past weekend was poor for halibut due to huge tides and currents. This weekend should be much better. Extra Large Herring and Octopus fished off of a spreader bar with a 2 lb weight was the most successful combination to catch the big flatfish.
