no fish in the surf up here. there are certain halibut holes, and spots where they catch salmon; ling cod around the rock outcrops. everyone goes down to the government dock to fish when the herring run is on. they jig for herring and use them as bait for salmon. clam diggers are out in full force during low tides. people do eat the razor clams (they are a real chore to clean) but mainly they are harvested for crab bait. after a storm and when the ocean has produced huge swells, the beaches are full of cockles there for the taking. logging has picked up on the islands so people are feeling a little more flushed but, from the number of new $60,000 pickups around here you'd think this was a thriving community and it is far from it. i just don't understand it. other than daddy cool's (local bar) and the liquor store, the thrift shop is the busiest establishment in town.
