Salmon Fishing

Just recently i went salmon fishing which I do once a year with my grandpa, uncle, and dad. It seems boring until you actually catch a fish then it becomes exciting because salmon is one of the best fighting fish that you can catch is Michigan. The average salmon weighs 10 pounds and usually fight really well. once in a while they have a bad fight because they are almost dead. You can catch man types of salmon. Such as coho king and shinook. Usually we stay up really late if the salmon are in the harbor heavy. This year the lastest we stayed up was 6 am. I was really tired for the next couple days but it was still fun. When we fish we either use a tightline set up or I cast lead. ( Lead is just a big weight with 2 big hooks on it) Usually when you go salmon fishing you dont catch that many fish because they dont have that many salmon that they harvest (that means they dont plant a ton of salmon eggs where we fish). Some people told us that people are planning on planting half a million fish this year but it is kind of hard to beleive if you ask me because they rarely plant salmon eggs up in Harrisville (harbor where we fish). Harrisville isnt a very big town but it is nice. There is almost no buisness up there though.... But everyone seems happy that lives there. Alot of people fish every friday for salmon in the fall and for whitefish in the winter.
