Not much has changed this past week reports Leonard Carter of Crescent City’s Englund Marine. He said, “The wind has been blowing pretty good the last few days so no one’s been out. Last week when the boats did finally make it out, they found a real good bite on the ling cod as well as the rest of the bottom fish. Not much happening with salmon; I heard one boat hooked six and landed three one day last week and went back the next day and they were gone. There hasn’t been any effort since,” Carter said.
