Its the wind that makes MA 6 a bugger.  I like to fish it as well for salmon, and only check wind conditions before I go.

Did you get a pic? Can't find any news stories about it, typically one that big would make the PA paper.

I was told final weight was 265lb, I pulled out as that boat was getting back to the dock. I have the picture but it is not mine to share...  We ended up with a 35 and 37lb that day.

Has anyone done any good off the sekui river or off sail & seal ? We fished east bank and DB hard on the last Sunday but only managed to hammer some HUGE dig fish, one was atleast 4ft long.. that 250 pounder had to have been caught inside if I had to guess, doesn't seem like guys are getting very big butts outside, and now Westport reached its quota well it's 8 thousand shy but they don't want to chance another day incase they go over  :bash:
