The
surf has varied from calm to very rough this week. Slowly
the channel is becoming deeper again but there is still
a lot of shallow water. Fishing results are patchy with
best catches in the roughest conditions, but as the
water calms down the catches reduce. Blue surf poppers
mentioned as successful with most salmon small to medium
in size. |
