Fished Saturday 7:30-10:30 at Dolphin Pt. and 10:30-12:00 at Southworth. Trolling hoochies and spoons from 55’ down to 150’ on the wire. It was a beautiful morning, but no joy either place. Not much bait at Dolphin but a few fish marked. Better bait south of Southworth and we had one solid takedown that only stayed on for 15-20 seconds on the Coyote green/white spoon at 65’. The fish checker at Don Armini said no salmon had been brought in when we left at 12:30 pm and he said only four salmon had been checked at the ramp since the season opened. I’m still fairly new to the area. Anybody have any better luck or advice. I tend to troll the contours and I’m always surprised when I see people out fishing in 250’+ of water – for the folks fishing out deep, are you still fishing the top 100’ of water? Mid-morning, I saw a couple boats peel off of Dolphin and head south (maybe to Three Tree?). Are there any better reports farther south in Area 11?
