Port Side Marine Sports Launch at Avila Beach reports fair fishing. Hank Mautz of Professional Guide Service said several salmon over 50 pounds have come in, and lots of 40-pounders have also been caught. Globugs are still the best bet for anglers. The last day to fish the Sacramento river is Jan.14. Jason at the Marina reports activity has been slow, but catfish is the best bet.
Live shad is the best bait now.
