Wait a minute. Shouldn't you be in the Manson looking for a RAM. Slacker
I know, I know....
Took some friends out today, neither she nor her son had salmon fished before. Limited for four of us including two more SOCKEYE!!!! :IBCOOL:
A sinkful of filets, 22 pounds of pink and 6 1/2 pounds of sockeye.
Caught the bigger sockeye on a pink mini hoochie and small white dodger 45 feet behind the boat. The other was on a green/silver coho killer at 120 on the downrigger. She was reeling in a tiny king and we saw a huge sockeye (pretty sure) follow it right up to the boat with its mouth open... another ten feet away and I think it would have grabbed the little king.

That's awesome that you are catching Sockeyes in the salt. Nice work!

Thanks, just lucky, though I did pick up two balls and an old dock tire full of styrofoam on the way out there. Could it be fish karma? :chuckle:

They make sense if you think it through. The Chinook, is the King of the salmon as they get the largest; Coho, well, they are just bright and silvery I guess; Sockeye turn red when in the rivers hence the name Red; Pinks are tasty and pink meated in the salt but get all Humpy and gray when they hit the rivers (you will never hear me call one from the salt a humpy); and Chum are only good enough for Dog food (I like them smoked), hence the name Dog salmon, could also be because their jaw starts looking like a dog's mouth, but others do too. Blackmouth are resident Chinook, different from the ones that head out to the open ocean. Tyees, well, just huge Chinook I guess, no idea where that comes from but someone will know.

Nice bright humpies! We are already getting a few yellow slime rockets here.
:tup:
That's why I call them Pinks, they're not humpies until they slime their way in to the fresh water. :chuckle: The big males have started to hump a little but still nice pink meat and bright sides. :tup: The smoker has been going almost non-stop since last week. :drool:

True! I showed my wife your photos and she politely said if I were half as successful as you she wouldn't mind me fishing all the time... so I politely put an ad of a SeaSwirl Striper in front of her and said "deal"... I am still waiting for the confirmation haha.
If you ever have room and need gas money, let me know. I would be more than happy to tag along :)

I'll be out there for five days starting Wednesday, can't wait. Hopefully there will be some additional "bonus" fish around by then.

Not much of a fish for today, one very small pink. However, it was salmon #52 for the season and filled my second card. Probably the last salmon fishing for a while with hunting seasons upon us.You have been successful! Congrats! Thanks for keeping us posted and updated with the photos and write ups!

Congratulations! Sounds like you had a lot of fun :tup:
Thanks, and we'll eat well for the next year, or two, since I can't seem to do very well on the winter blackmouth....
