Title: Silvers
Post by: coyotehunter on September 20, 2011, 07:56:54 PM: Went fishing this morning (Marine Area 10) trying to catch the tail end of the pink run and ended up catching a silver! Just wondering if anyone else has been having any luck on silvers? Anyone hear what the report is like for them this year?

What's the secret to fishing silvers from the beach?
