You can use half a pink salmon as bait?I work for STS Guiding, we are going to see a great mid-sept, this year as we will get a ton of pink salmon in the system,its a great time to fish monster baits, like heads and 1/2 pink salmon.. it should fish well right through the end of october. give Vic a call at 604-671-3474 we all run top notch boats and great gear, and we fish full time, every day from april on pretty much we have 3-5 boats out a day.
