Bottom Fishing Still Holding Strong

The Rockfishing was as good as it's been pretty much all summer.  Just a few Fish from Limits were had by all our boats.  The usual Bigguns with a great deal of a Nice Variety.  Our water off Depoe Bay has warmed up drastically the last couple of days with the super nice weather we've been enjoying.  As a result the Lingcod seem to have moved offshore for now but they will return with the liquid sunshine we have today.  Cooler weather will bring them back in.  The Crabbing remains phenomenal!

Mariner was 5 short of a Limit and 108 Crab.

Kingfisher was a few fish shy and 105 Crab.

Outer Limits got their usual Limits and were not Crabbing today.

Kadaho had a tough day on the Salmon grounds with the warm water we have right now.  There are a lot of what we call the Big Brown Uglies around recently which are Nasty Jellyfish.  The Salmon want nothing to do with them as they sting their mouths.  They stick to everything and we hate to see a bloom of them.  The rain should chase them away also.  They ended with 8 Salmon landed and 2 Keepers.

The inshore ocean forecast looks great starting back up again tomorrow with nice weather also!
