Anybody been out trolling for salmon recently? What is the water temp just outside and how has the catching been?

Thanks

Fishing was ok Monday and dead Tuesday. Only nine fish on the board at the Garibaldi marina Tuesday. The water temp was 40 F Monday and 45 F Tuesday. There was a very brownish red color to the water just out side the jaws Tuesday. Seems more fish were taken off the North Jetty then along the South.

Fished Sunday outside. 48 degrees most places. The water outside was deep cobalt blue, could see my bait spinning after 16 pulls. There was a change in water color just outside extending straight out from the tips.

Few fish caught, we got 1 nice buck and finally lost a bigger one after I bashed him on the head with the net

Seemed slow overall but still a decent chance.

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to figure out if I want to go hunting or salmon fishing. 40 degree's really? Was there ice bergs out there? Well unless I hear a good report soon I'm gonna give it the old enie meanie mini mo thing.

Fished outside wednesday ...not dead but not great...talked to a guide who had 3 for 5 people ...we went 1-5 , cohos maybe ? never been picked clean like that on the chinook. Felt like something could happen during a couple short bites. Good luck , swampy

Just got off the phone with Sturgeon Tom. He is loading the boat up and heading home instead of fishing tomorrow because it is still slow slow slow.
