Title: First salmon trip
Post by: elgoog on April 29, 2013, 05:30:42 PM

I went on my first salmon fishing trip on Sunday, 4/28 and landed a couple of decent ones - 12lb and 10lb. Not big but big enough to land me the boat's big fish pool of $120 which paid for the trip and tackle. Awesome trip even in really rough seas; on a few occasions we were racing against some sea lions to land the fish before they got them - absolutely beautiful to watch and experience. Views of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise were an added bonus.

Love those sunrise and sunsets. I think that is one of the relaxing reasons to get out fishing...that and fresh fish.

Fresh Salmon...nothing like it.

Elgoog, is that fishing done on a party boat? If so, how do they fish for them with so many people on board? Very interesting to an east coast guy.

BMITCH - Yeah, I was on a party boat and we were trolling. There's about 20 people and the crew tells you how many pulls of the line to let out depending on where you are located on the rail. Yesterday, those on the bow rail were going down 20 pulls and it kept increasing gradually by 5-10 pulls up to 50 pulls on the stern. As the day went on, we adjusted depending on where the bites were coming. There's some tangles but not as bad as you'd think.
