Greg Ladner caught this 24.5 pound salmon off of the Towers yesterday. There were two other salmon in the boat as well, all caught in 50 feet of water (because sometimes the waves broke in 40 feet). There was a huge swell on Ten Mile but the bar was just periodically lethal. A 25 pound halibut was caught on dead bait across the bay from the pier by Kathy Larson. The ocean is way happier today and there is at least one boat fishing the Towers, so perhaps a good report will be available later.
   On another note, California DFG just started a new mobile website so that you can check up on MPA fishing areas and closures from your Apple or Android smartphone. The website is: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/m/MPA .
