There were a few decent scores of salmon caught near Davenport. The anglers changed their depth in the afternoon and started working the flats in 240-300 feet of water. The anglers who stayed near the bottom caught some salmon in the afternoon. The pressure changed today so the fish may have gone off the bite or deep,” he noted. “The wind stayed down all morning and there is no swell. The rockfishing was good for the anglers in the deep water. There have been a few halibut caught in the shallow water near Cowells and Capitola,” Fraser added. - Dan Bacher Subscription Special Fish The Delta In Style Aboard Capt.
