J.M. Golmster. 1948 Surf Scoters 5 31 Aug. Smelt family, about 6" long in the bay, as evidenced by the frequency of seeing seal and porpoise, the manner of feeding & numbers of the Bechapartt Bulls, the number of Marbled Murrelets, and the fact that five King Salmon Trolling boats have taken about 4000 lbs of K.S. (from the 22nd until the 27th) The K.S were invariably full of needle fish when inspection of gut was made. There have been an abundance of the small fish because the water has been loaded with phosphorescent plankton. The luminescence in the water at night is fantastic.
