10/03 Fishing report

Indian Summer, calm weather and good Salmon fishing off the Marin Coast has allowed the Berkeley Charter Boat fleet to produce a fish a rod averages up to 24 lbs during the weekdays and scores between 10 -15 during the weekends. Capt Robert Gallia F/V EL Dorado stated their has been a lot of private boater interest on the calm waters during the weekends, which has contributed to much boat traffic and pressure, driving the scores down...During the weekdays the fish scores bounce back from less pressure.. The fall run Salmon are moving in and we expect a good showing of Salmon in the coming weeks of October.
