Check out the salmon post. They are clipping adipose to distinguish between stocked and natural.

Ah good share.  Im surprised I didnt think of that because thats how CT marks stocked trout as well. 

Only one problem... 2 trips deep no salmon.  Going to need to get into some and check the adipose.  That should be fun.  Also I think id prefer to release the wild ones.

Ive only had 3 on, and lost 2. I havent heard much chatter from the regulars either.

I recall a guy last year kept two very nice salmon, he said he feeds them to his dog..

To each is own I guess.  I think im taking a pass this weekend in favor of flyfishing.  I need to get ready for the canal!

Nice!  Ill be out there Sunday. Saturday looks like the wind will be a bit much.

Boat or shore? Those 15-20mph winds with gusts up to 40 are no joke.

 some of the best salmon fishing is in those windy conditions.... I look for the rip between the calm and the rough water...

Its funny, i always hear that, but my best days (which is basically any day u get a salmon on the Q) have been calmer days lol. I got 3 one trip last year and it was flat cal

it depends on how your boat takes the wind...  It can be busy trying to keep things going smoothly but with 2 people it manageable... It looks a little gusty today but a 8-10mph is a little nicer...

My boat does well. I use the trolling motor with ipilot to steer the front and use the main motor to push when its snotty out. I adjust my baits depending on the speeds i get going into and with the wind. Its when you gotta turn around that things can get real hairy. I typically just pull the lines up and spin around as safely as possible. Then put the lines back out.

I have to rescind the previous statement. Got back from fishing with Allan a little bit ago, video to follow shortly.
