Resurrection Bay Area Salt Waters
Halibut [ul] [li]Halibut fishing remains very good to excellent. [li]Fish deep if you want to catch the big ones. Several in the 200-pound range were caught last week. [li]The hottest fishing is still found in waters east toward Montague Island, but foul weather has prevented boats from consistently fishing these waters. [/li][/ul]
Salmon [ul] [li]King salmon fishing was generally slow both inside and outside Resurrection Bay, but those who know how to catch kings have still been catching them each time they go out. [li]The kings caught recently have been either caught deep while halibut fishing or caught in very shallow waters, less than 10 fathoms, while trolling herring behind a flasher.
