The wind is still blowing offshore but at least it is not howling through here like it was. I did hear a report from last week that one local in a larger boat went out to 300' of water and caught a limit of salmon before noon. The conditions were "bumpy" and "uncomfortable" in a 26' Osprey on one of the better weather days this week. Maybe next week....
The Dungeness catch numbers got a little better this week but it still is a long way off from the glory of the opener. The ospreys were continually carrying perch back and forth over the campground the past few days but I haven't heard of anyone catching any. Another couple of weeks of no rain and the leopard sharks should start showing up down in the cove east of the seawall.
