After a few days of tougher-than-usual fishing, the salmon went back on the chew “big time” on Tuesday. The best bite remains at the tip of both jetty’s, just outside the entrance according to Tony Sepulveda of Shellback Sport Fishing. “They bit really well on Tuesday, and the fish were big too. All the charter boats had easy limits,” Sepulveda added.
“There’s still quite a bit of bait in the bay, but it isn’t solid out front,” said Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “There weren’t many boats out on Tuesday as the forecast was much better than predicted. I’m sure the lack of pressure helped the bite. And it seems like some new fish showed up too. The fish we caught had been feeding on krill, something we haven’t seen in awhile.”
