I have been reliably informed that these fish are salmon, and not just that, king salmon, the kind you can keep. The larger of the two pictured weighed 27 pounds, gutted. Kelley Roy and Herman Rinkel caught three of these so-called "salmon" today near Abbot's Lagoon in 70ish feet of water. It isn't wide open, but it ain't dead, either.
Mike Mack would agree :"Salmon Saturday skunked 4 takedowns no fish. Sunday 24lb on incoming at Driftwood, out going Bird 23lb John had 4 takedown 2 at boat lost all 4. What a great weekend thanks to Lawsons and crew for making it great." Nice fish, boys, and we are all glad to see them. It appears that both fish are hatchery fish and chipped, as the adipose fins are clipped. What does that mean? These are some of those rare tax dollars at work that we can probably all agree are well spent. The halibut fishing today was pretty darn disappointing. I heard of a couple caught but both bait and halibut were hard to come by for most. And finally, the tuna water is far, far away. I am awaiting another push of warm water. 80 miles is too far. Even for me and Team Costco Gas.

Don’t forget CDFW only clips and tags 25% of hatchery fish they release statewide. Take the number of clipped fish you caught this season and multiply it by four. The Sacramento is broken, if hatcheries shut down the run would disappear in a very short period of time.
Well I had engine problems over the weekend and am going to have to pull the boat out for the remainder of the season. So the Salmon should be on fire by next week and tune within 50 miles shortly after.
Good luck to you all, I’ll be living vicariously threw you!
See ya next spring.
Our 3 salmon were not clipped....2 males and the smaller one was female
Nice work gentleman, keep catching and tight lines!
Sorry about your boat onemore, I kinda know how that feels
What does Kelley Roy do with all his salmon? It seems excessive :)
