Title: Wild Fish?
Post by: Dman on September 13, 2007, 03:28:35 PM: I'm just trying to figure out why the 17lb Coho below on the "Neah Bay fishing trip" has an adipose fin???

Seems someone didn't pay close attention to that pic. It just really boils me, because in that post, the guy talks about catching 39 silver's for 3-4 poeple. If they were keeping wild fish, that makes it even worse. Very greedy.

Post by: Dman on September 16, 2007, 01:00:07 PM: I would add too, that I could have kept a 24lb native at Sekiu one year and had to let it go, so it bother's me a little from that perspective also.

Post by: Coasthunterjay on September 16, 2007, 01:07:18 PM: Im just throwing this out Im not sure about this but i think my friend mentioned that he had been catching a bunch of hatchery and wilds and was happy because after a certain date you are allowed to keep the wild caught on the Neah Bay area and it was comming up. he fishes out of sekiu all the time? AND? is the picture dated.....maybe it is last years picture? I am probably way wrong though. Just something i over heard it might not have been for that area.......................AJ

Post by: Dman on September 17, 2007, 08:02:56 AM: Right, I didn't realize there was an Ebay wild fishery -still think that is wrong to have a PS wild opening in one little area and none anywhere else (particularly when it can't be enforced) -that was an issue though with WDFW, not Salmon U.. In this case, Sekiu opened Sept. 15th for wild Coho, this was prior to that opening and in a different area.
