Like anything they'd be a good fight on lighter tackle. We never go fishing for them specifically though. They'll run up on your long riggers all the time when you are billfishing so you are getting them on 20's and 30's which is just too big a reel to even feel them. You end up just winching them in. I've gotten a few on fly rods and light tackle. They are fun. They love to jump. Great meat though. My favorite next to tuna. Perfect for ceviche and fish tacos.

The salmon are starting to come up the river near my house. The suckers are moving out and some smelts are around. Shouldn't be much longer till we start slayin" the salmon. Can't keep them in this river but, fun catching a 5lb one on a fly rod. Now, if the rain would just let up!

man i wanna go salmon fishing lol
We do pretty well around here. A couple years ago the smelts were so thick you couldn't even see the bottom of the river. Catching 4-8lb landlocked salmon all day long. Hopefully it will get like that again this year.

The Red Horse have peaked here and fishing for them has begun to slow. Catfish are really picking up though. The St Joe River, least the stretch through Calhoun County has been producing some nice catches. Their bellies are full of crawfish so get your traps out....

And you all are correct, Salmon fishing is the bee knees!!!!!!

And a bit off subject but the morrells and asparagus are both beginning to show...nothing like spending a day cruising to back roads in search of asparagus and a quick check under those old trees for morrells....

You guys have asparagus growing wild up there? Must be nice. We pay way over 3 bucks a pound for them. We do have fiddleheads but, I don't care for them. And yes salmon fishing rules! Love seeing them come up out of the water.

You mean those 10-12 foot high 15 foot wide arches when you snag them in the side? LOL
And yes wild asparagus. Not as much as it used to be, too many people mowing and maintaining the ditches...

Guess a lot of you will not be fishing this week in the Northeast. Looks like you all are about to get hammered.
