PINK SALMON RUN INFO

[huntnphool]

So good numbers at Dash and Browns Point now?? or are we blowing smoke? Look's like I might have to squeeze in out there and try to get me one.

My mother in law lives there and we were there visiting, saw it personally. Went out on the dock and in about 10 minutes time saw at least 15 fish hooked.

There were about 10 guys wading in from shore as well.

Good stuff, majority of them caught on the dock or in waders?

Caught my first pink for the season today at Browns Point 

Lost another right at the shore line, knot om my leader broke 

Oh well, brought one home...... Gonna spend a few days this week out there after work, got a decent afternoon tide and Browns Point is only 10 min from my work and I get off at 2 pm

Nope but they're good IMO. Some people just use them for crab bait?

I don't touch those, just rip the hook from their soft flesh...

cool thanks for sharing guys. they look cool too bad they don't taste right.  Would be a cool fish for the kids to catch sounds like when they are in it's easy pickings.

They taste alright, just a little fishier/drier than a silver.  I thought they tasted kind of like silver mixed with canned tuna.  When you get down to it even the kings/silvers get turned away by the folks that try to compare salmon to bottomfish like halibut/cabs/lingcod.  Pinks are lots of fun to catch.  Usually in such big numbers that young kids are constantly getting strikes and even catching, so it keeps their attention span.  You can even use light gear that you already have for things like trout.
