Sinkers or weights exceeding 4 pounds may not be used, except when a separate line is attached to a sinker or weight of any size and is automatically released by a mechanical device when a fish is hooked. When using a single hook, the hook size cannot be less than three-quarters inch from the hook point to the shank. The only exception is when artificial lures are used. To catch the silvery fish, go out early in the morning and troll at about 3 to 5 miles per hour in the open Bay near the Peninsula's northern tip. Use a heavy weight to get the bait down to the fish.
Some people use flashers or dodgers ahead of bait.
It is illegal to fillet salmon offshore. Anglers take salmon daily from the wharf. Salmon, weighing up to 25 pounds hit lures. Krocodile lures with blue stripes are a favorite. Some salmon grab at whole frozen anchovies or herring fished under a bobber.
